Scoring a grand total of 281 points, Poly's strong, Well balanced lightweight quintet lost only two games all season, both to the powerful champion Iefferson squad and ended in a three-way tie for first with the Huntington Park and Iefferson teams. Putting the ball through the hoop consistently for high scoring honors were co-captains Frank Buckley and capable veteran Hector Villalobos, who ran up a total of 40 points in two games against Huntington Park. Also a steady point winner as well as a good defensive man was center David Unoura. Lawrence Hernandez and Henry Marquez capably filled the guard positions.

Osborn, Gonzalez, were capably filled by Fritz Banks, center, and Charles Hickman, guard. V With lettermen Banks, Babineau, Hickman, and Townsend all returning, and the rapidly improving Cantin, Evans, and Clark to give them a fight for their positions, prospects are very bright for next year's team. With this nucleus for the team, supple- mented by new students and lightweight players, Poly's pelota squad should reach the top of the heap. if fir' .
