This was the first time the Blue and Red has competed in the A. C. A. L. Consequently, lack of experience and a small turnout handicapped the Oilers. In the pre-league schedule, the locals captured three of their five encounters. Id Masek proved an outstanding competitor for the R. U. H. S. team by accounting for 78 points for the season. He took a first, third and fourth in the A. C. A. L. finals. Richmond pulled a big upset to open the track season, scoring a win over Fremont and Berkeley in a three-way meet. R. U. H. S. registered 54 points, Fremont 4914, and Berkeley 3514. The Oilers took six first places and a tie for first. Masek totaled 14 markers. Firsts were taken by Al Cezario in the mile; Pearson in the 440; Whitmore in the low hurdles; Christopher in the high jump; and Masek in both sprints and the shot put. Coach Ribbel’s squad won the second battle from Alhambra by taking the decid- ing relay race. Martinez was leading before the relay was under way, but the Oilers took the close run to nose out the Panthers, 54% to 51% on the Martinez oval. Masek again was high man with 13 digits, grabbing firsts in ‘the s sprints and a second in the shot. Other winners were Cezario in the mile, McPhee, broad jump, and Whitmore, high hurdles. Richmond captured the third meet by vanquishing St. Ignatius High of San Francisco, 66 2 3 to 49 1 3. The Blue’and Red took six first places, a tie for first, and a clean sweep in both the high hurdles and broad. jump. Masek tallied his usual points, chalking up 16. The local iron man was a triple winner, collecting firsts in both sprints and the shot put. O’Brien ran a dead heat with O’Malley of S. I. in the low hurdles. ; The Oilers were handed their first defeat by San Rafael’s Bulldogs, 61 to 52. By taking the relay, the Red and = hite were insured a victory. Ryan, O’Brien and Pearson were the only R. U. H. S. men to take firsts. Ryan, who is a sophomore student, stole the show by leaping 19 feet 9 inches in the broad jump. Masek col- lected four seconds. Mr. Tucker’s Alumni administered Richmond their second beating, 60-53. Six first places were obtained by each squad, but since the graduates registered shutouts in the weights and pole vault, they won the meet. Ryan jumped 20 feet 5 inches. Pearson, Christopher, O” Brien and Masek were the undergraduate victors. Roy mnaerceretig: OA ARNT CRIT. A ae

Carson, Wilson Locke, Ed Lamb, Charlie Jackson, Carl Drexel, Schuyler Albert, and Nick Bracco finished ahead of the field in the respective events for the Alumni. The A. C. A. L. four-cornered clash concluded the schedule for the Oilers. Alameda retained their title by running up 65 1 4 markers. Piedmont ended second with 41%; Berkeley, third, 34 1 4 and the locals, fourth, with 14. Masek who was Ves : not expected to place in the shot, heaved it farther than he ever did, 48 feet 2% inches, to head all comers. The husky boy also took a third in the 220 and a fourth in the 100-yard dash. O’Brien copped a third in the high hurdles, Joe Robak, a third in the mile, and Pearson, a fourth in, the 440. In addition to Masek in the sprints, Ray Fasanaro anc Elton Armstrong secured several points for the locals. Both ran excellent laps in the half mile relay, the event that cinched many meets for R. U. H. S. Lloyd Pearson was triumphant in the majority of his quarter mile dashes, and should be even better next spring. Ivan Utter also ran the one-lap race. Clarence Siemer and Louie Piziali took care of the half mile distance. Siemer will be one of the letter men returning in 1933. Joe Robak and Al Cezario took turns in winning the mile run. At the start of the year, the latter was easily the victor, but in the closing stages, Robak obtained revenge. Tony Silva and Reinaldo Beltz competed in the endurance grind, also. Ellard O’Brien, Bob Swan, Frank Merideth and Bill Whitmore were a brilliant quartet of hurdlers. All captured. many points. Merideth will be back next year. George Shaw and Leonard Coombs were the pole vault mainstays. Jack Ryan, Kenny McPhee and Bob Humphrey upheld the Red and Blue in the broad j jump. Humph- rey, who is the only graduating trackster of the trio, also gathered points in the weights, where he combined with Masek. Frank Christopher and John Gerletti were the local high jumping pair. The relay squad was composed of Pearson, Armstrong, Fasanaro and Masek. TENNIS Winning their second A. C. A. L. championship in three years, the Richmond High Tennis Team completed a splendid season.
