1931 Fox Walter The return game with Linfield, on our own floor, was an ex- citing one. They led us 22 to 21 at the half and with a few seconds to go we were leading one point but Hos- tetler of Linfield was fouled and sunk both his free throws to win the game for them 37 to 36. The last two games were played at Tacoma with College of Puget Sound. In the first, they won easily, 51 to 28, but the next night the Pacific men won, 48 to 44, closing our season with a victory. Next year with Walter, Conner, Brise, Acheson, Fox and Cox back we should have an ex- cellent team. These , boys were all Fresh- ly men this year and will A A be with us for three m more years, making the r w prospect a hopeful one for Pacific. Captain Walker, Cox, and Con- ner were mentioned on all-star selections. Brachman z Ninety-eight

®f BASKETBALL SEASON— 1930-1931 HI The basketball team this year, with the ex- ception of one letter- man, Captain John Walker, was composed entirely of Freshmen. To meet the veteran teams of the confer- ence Pacific put up a fighting group. Conner Twenty-five prelimi- waiker nary games were scheduled and played before the start of the regular sea- son, which was held over until the second s emester. Of these we won sixteen and lost nine. In our conference we played nine games, winning two and losing seven. The first two games were played at Walla Walla with Whitman. We lost them both, 44-20 and 52-28. The second game was closer than the score indicates for with about 15 minutes to play the score was 19-17. The next was played at McMinnville against Linfield, and we were beaten badly, 47-23, Linfield putting up a fine team. Our first victory came in our own gym with College of Idaho. It was a rousing game with the first half find- ing us in the lead 20-18 and the game ending 43-41. All the boys played well. The next two games were with Willamette, who beat us easily both times. Their five was exactly the same as their championship team the year before. Cox I Ninety-seven
