I 4 3b FOREWORD As a publicaton of the associated students of Sacramento Junior College, it is the hope that the 1936 Pioneer, your book, has achieved the heights of your expectations. In the future this book may be your only means of renewing the many friendships that you have created here, for the parting of the ways is in¬ evitable. Within its covers you will find laughs and tears. Not now, but in the after years you will come to cherish it as an old friend—for it will be a con¬ stant reminder of your undergraduate days. THE EDITOR FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT DEDICATION THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THOSE GROUPS, NATIONAL AND LOCAL, WHICH WERE INSTRU¬ MENTAL IN THE APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW BUILDINGS, THAT MADE POSSIBLE THE FURTHERANCE OF OUR EDUCATION. SUPERINTENDENT CHARLES C. HUGHES Having attended college a number of years ago, and having gone through the experience of waiting anxiously for the college annual to appear, I can readily appre¬ ciate the anticipation of the students of our Junior College for the publication of our Pioneer. In it will be found photographs of the institution which has become very dear to us, art work by those whom we know so well, articles which will remain in our memory for many, many years, and little squibs, jokes, and joshes about our fellow st udents. Our college diploma could be covered with dust and rather forgotten, but we will, way late in life, take from our book shelf the old college annual, as I have done so many times myself, and live aqain the college days, the real things and the glad things of those long to be remembered student days, those happy days which never return again except through dreams and memory. So, as your Superintendent, I bid the Pioneer welcome, and I am pleased if my good wishes are inscribed in it, not alone for its beauty, its art and good taste, but because of memories of college life stored therein. CHAS. C. HUGHES Superintendent In his annual report in 1914 Superintendent Hughes urged the establishment of a Junior College in Sacramento. This recommendation was favorably considered, and in 1916 the Sacramento Junior College became a reality with an enrollment of 45 students. His vision, his continued unswerving support, and his confidence in those of us who have served under his guidance have made possible an institution that has gained national recognition. J. B. LILLARD I PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE Graduates of 1936: One hundred years ago when our forefathers were busy sub¬ duing a continent, only a few young people, practically all of them young men, had an opportunty to go to college. Today, a college education is available to all men and women who can profit by it. I congratulate you on the larger educa¬ tional opportunity that one hundred years has brought to the young people of America. J. B. ULLARD President PRESIDENT J. B. ULLARD a All who have meant good work with their whole hearts, have done good work, although they may die before they have time to sign it . . . And even if death catch people, like an open pitfall, and in mid-career: is there not something brave and spirited in such a termination? and does not life go down with a better grace, foaming in full body over a precipice, than miserably straggling to an end in sandy deltas? ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON CONTENTS 10-15 ADMINISTRATION 16-41 GRADUATES 42-69 COLLEGE ACTIVITIES 70-83 FEATURES 84-123 ATHLETICS 124-143 ADVERTISING ADMINISTRATION PION EER, I 936 Graduates of 1936: In military parlance you have attained an objective. Congratulations. We hope you have experienced both plea¬ sure and profit in the attainment, and, further, we sincerely wish for you con¬ tinued success—that objective after ob¬ jective marks your forward progress on through successful and satisfying lives. We shall miss you here. Again, con¬ gratulations and good wishes. HARRY M. SKIDMORE Dean of Men HARRY M. SKIDMORE HARRY E. TYLER Graduates of 1936: A great deal has been said the past years concern¬ ing the problems that face all college graduates when they leave school. You have been told that finding a job and making a living, establishing a home, or keeping your ideals will be difficult in our modern world. It is my hope, however, that your experience in the Sacramento Junior College will help you meet these problems. We have offered you the facilities of our physical plant, our curri¬ culum, and a well-trained faculty. The members of the Student Personnel Department have also tried to be of assistance in your training. If you carry with you the friendly spirit of this institution wherever you may go, and exemplify in your lives the optimism, resourcefulness, and per¬ sonal honesty which the world needs so badly, I am confident of your success. My thoughts will be with you, and believe me when I say, I wish you luck. HARRY E. TYLER Dean of Counseling and Student Personnel Page 12 ' MISS BELLE COOLEDGE Graduates of 1936: For my final message to you as you are leaving our campus to enter other institu¬ tions of learning or to enter your life work I am choosing my favorite of all the good¬ byes in common usage—it is Farewell. I like this form best chiefly because it has in it no emphasis upon parting, but instead it gives an idea of courage, and faith, and hope, and it could not be a Dean ' s message without a bit of admonition! I trust you may go forth in your various ways with courage to face and strength to overcome ail difficulties, with faith to believe that with help you can succeed, with hope to urge you to keep on climbing to higher goals, and remember that the success or failure of this, your Junior College, de¬ pends largely upon your successes and failures. FHere, then, my friends, simply, sincerely, and briefly is my message: May you fare well. BELLE COOLEDGE Dean of Women EDWARD I. COOK Graduates of 1936: Class mottoes belong to the horse and buggy age, I know. But I would like to offer for your recollec¬ tion as you seize your certificate and step out at commencement; Not across, but crossing the Alps. I wish to express my appreciation to the Class of 1936 for the many opportunities of re-learning not to take one ' s self too seriously, and that social invention will not cease when the last of my gen¬ eration has become a shade.

Phi Theta Kappa Art League Art Ball Pony Express ADDIE LAURINDA WORLD Arbuckle To University of California ON EER, 1936 ACHIEVEMENT-CLASS OF 1936 The last four semesters have been characterized by rapid ad¬ vancement and progress. The class of 1936 has spiritually and ma¬ terially contributed to the welfare of the junior college. Character¬ ized as one of the outstanding graduating classes in the annals of Sacramento history, this year ' s class record definitely warrants and deserves this compliment. The class inaugurated the College Fair, Varieties, and radio programs. In addition it stimulated greater interest in all extra¬ curricular activities. Le Bal Chinois, last semester ' s Art Ball, was a more outstand¬ ing success economically and socially than those held in the past. The art department, in charge of decorations, cooperated to the utmost, giving valuable time and energy to the Ball. The music organizations, notably the A Capella Choir, Wo¬ men ' s Glee Club, Men ' s Glee Club, Band, and Orchestra ably represented the student body on many occasions. The Dramatic Art Department ' s presentations were praised far beyond the immediate locality and have been characterized as the best of its kind in the country. The Pony Express forecasted events, offered helpful criticism, and contributed greatly in the stimulation of activities and the fostering of real school spirit. The Debate Team spread the forensic reputation of the col¬ lege from Pasadena to Modesto. Many thanks are due to those persons comprising the campus organizations which were ever willing and enthusiastic to support every event. In athletics, the track, football, baseball, and basketball squads gave a remarkable demonstration of good sportsmanship and ath¬ letic abilitv in every encounter. Although the class of 1936 aave us many outstanding leaders, the real motivating force behind the progress of the student body can be attributed, not only to the class members, but to each student in the Sacramento Junior College.

ART BALL The tenth annual Art Ball, one of the most brilliant social events of the year, took place on November 2, in the Memorial Auditorium. Le Bal Chinois as presented by the Art League, expressed all the dignity, grandeur, and Oriental romance of the Chinese pageant and procession. Miss Dorothy Evans, imperial queen of the Ball, was greeted enthusiastically by an audience of seven thousand spectators. She entered the ball room seated in a sedan chair, upon the shoulders of coolies. Following the queen, were her five lovely attendants, Misses: Suzanne Brown, Margaret Du¬ mont, Dolora Kesler, Rosemary Diage, and Frances Lundy. The ball room was colorfully decorated to represent the picturesque life of the Far East. In one corner rested a huge Buddha, and through thin blue-gray spirals of slowly burning incense the sacred pagoda was visible. Then, when the rever¬ berating tones of an Oriental gong sounded, a Chinese dragon, glittering gold in the glow of the spot-light commenced a spectacular dance at the foot of the Buddha. This dance was accompanied by the incessant beat of a Chinese drum. At the close of this performance, Grace Sakata, as the Chinese temple dancer, introduced the processional pageant with a dance of praise to the great Buddha. With the repetition of the sound of the Chinese gong, and to the strains of Oriental music the pageant commenced. A lilting love song was sung by Ruby Fong, and the Mandarin maidens slowly assumed their places for a dignified, and graceful dance. Page 46 The Mandarin maidens were: Anne Buckman, Audrey Corrigan, Antoinette Jones, Margaret De Saules, Virginia Miller, Camille Reynolds, Jean Toffee, Genevieve Wakefield, Zona Ward, Barbara Williams, Virginia Young and Betty Bailey. Chatting gaily, quite a contrast to the quiet manner of the Mandarin maidens, the coolie dancers playfully arranged themselves for their ballet. Those who participated as coolie dancers were: Shirley Beatty, Mary Jane Bloomberg, Gladys Bradley, Barbara Clement, Elizabeth Cog hi 11, Janet Cohn, Matina Compoginis, Blanche Goldstein, Thelma Hayes, Emilie Lachmann, Francis Meredith, Mabel McDonald, Janet Mc¬ Laughlin, and Georgia Zampathis. Concluding the pageant and climaxing the Oriental enter¬ tainment, was the dance of the sword dancers, William Cox, Richard Meers, and Joseph Rivette. These young men in gro¬ tesque masks, did a barbaric dance which terminated in sup¬ plication before her exalted highness, the queen; bidding them to rise she dismissed the entertainers, and thus did the proces¬ sion slowly and gracefully make its departure. Those in the Art Department who contributed to the suc¬ cess of the pageant were: Miss Marjorie Graham, general director; Miss Amelia Fischbacher, who supervised the decora¬ tions; Miss Barbara Clement, student director; Miss Leone Arnold, dance director; and members of the Art League who participated as attendants and priests in the procession. This year ' s Art Ball was the most successful of ten art balls presented by the Art League. Profits amounted to approx¬ imately 1200 dollars; the money is to be used for scholarships for art students. Page 47 ■ Left to right: Dumont, Dutton, Atkinson, Ferguson, and Toffee. JOHN GABRIEL BORKMAN CAST John Gabriel Borkman Mrs. Guinhild Borkman Erhart Borkman Miss Ella Rentheim Mrs. Fanny Wilton .. Vilhelm Foldal. Frida Foldal... Mrs. Borkman ' s Maid JOHN GABRIEL BORKMAN, an Ibsonian effort, was the first dramatic pro¬ duction of the 1935-36 season, its cast being composed entirely of advanced soph¬ omore students. r It was played in a realistic manner bringing out those characteristics of Ibsen ' s problem plays. John Gabriel Borkman is a play strong and dynamic in dramatic intensity. Mrs. Borkman and her sister Ella have vied for the affection of John Gabriel, Mrs. Bork¬ man taking his name and Ella, his love, neither really winning him . . Late in life these two enemied sisters meet to fight again for a man’s affection; this time it is Erhart, son of Mrs. Borkman and John Gabriel. However, a young and sophisticated widow, Mrs. Fanny Wilton, intervenes, winning Erhart for herself, to lead him off to ruin and unhappiness. John Gabriel who has hermited himself for twenty years dies from the cold night air as he ascends a hillside thinking of the failure he has made of his life, knowing also that he has failed in the capacity of father since he could not save his son from the wanton life which awaits him. The play was directed by John Laurence Seymour with Miss Frances Frater in charge of the technical side of the production. John L.

The play was produced in spectacular fashion with twelve changes of scenery. The costuming was picturesquely colorful, adding to the attractive¬ ness of the production. The play is concerned with young King Richard the Second, who, by attempting to rule his own domain and by lending his kingly hand to France, meets with opposi¬ tion from Henry, Earl of Derby, and Richard, Earl of Arundel. Public opinion turns against Richard; his youthful Queen, Anne of Bohemia dies of plague, his friends are killed or desert him. By Henry, he is at last taken a fallen king with but one friend left, his faithful page, Maudelyn. The closing scene in the Tower of London was effectively staged and left the audience applauding roundly.

The story describes the hardships of a wagon train lost in the mountains with the grim prospect of winter rapidly approaching. The food supply is nearly exhausted and there remains but one alternative, the little band is obliged to ask the Indians for help. In return for a guide to show them out of the mountains, the Indians ask that Eunice, the wife of the train leader, be delivered to them. Wolfhill has discovered his wife ' s romance with young Jason and in his rage sends her out to the savages. Eunice has been strangely attracted to the Indians during the journey across the plains and is, in her witch-like way, happy to stay with this strange redskin tribe, thus saving the lives of the wagon party and enabling them to reach their goal—Oregon. Distant Drums was directed by John Laurence Seymour and enthusiastically re¬ ceived by the public. The setting, and lighting effects were under the supervision of Mason Young. Margaret Dumont and Wesley Speich are smilin ' through. SMILIN’ THROUGH CAST Kathleen Dungannon Moonyeen Clare_ Ellen. Mary Clare. John Carteret_ Dr. Owen Harding Kenneth Wayne.

Clayton .Tom Wilde .Tom Wilde Sidney Lewis The final production of the season was the popular Smilin ' Through by Allan Langdon Martin. The fantastic comedy-drama is the story of a woman, who on the eve of her wedding night, fell victim to a bullet meant for the man she was to marry. The spirit of this woman returns to help the young lovers, Kathleen and Kenneth, to gain the happiness she had been thwarted of fifty years before. The two young people are united in a gripping climax, bringing the humorously sentimental drama to a close. Miss Frances Frater, who directed the play, repeated the success which she achieved in Richard of Bordeaux. She was aided by Mason A. Young who was in charge of setting, and acted as lighting technician.

J. C. debating. The varsity debate team encountered opponents in eighteen debates, and entered teams in the Inter¬ collegiate Debate Tournament at Stanford University. Aside from regular debate activities, the members of the Debate Forum materially aided in the Bond Issue Campaign for new buildings, by making approximately twenty speeches before var¬ ious organizations in the community. The team faced adversaries from the Pasadena Junior College, in an invitational exhibition before the Pacific Coast Association of Fire Chiefs ' Annual Convention, the University of California, Menlo Junior College, San Jose State College, University of San Francisco, Modesto Junior College, San Mateo Junior College, Stanford, Occi¬ dental and the College of Agriculture. The Sacramento team participated in the Second Semi-Annual Radio Debate, and in the first junior college Intercollegiate Radio Debate. Sacramento was represented by William Comstock, William Lambert, Justis Mc¬ Mahon, and Richard Langer in the California Coast Debate League Annual Tourna¬ ment. All of the debate topics were extremely timely and interesting, inasmuch as they reflected contemporary trends in governmental economic policies and social conditions. The debates were non-decision. The debate varsity was represented this year by William Comstock, William Lambert, Justis McMahon, Richard Langner, John A. Morgan, Nels Evans, Joseph Lebowitch, Max Krauss, Elwood Weitmann, Anthony Scalora, Jack Merrill, Marguerite Lopez, Emily Ragsdale, George Nakamura, and Graham Lund.

Among the numerous programs in which they participated, the following were outstanding: The opening of the new KFBK Radio station in which the choir sang on a nation¬ wide hookup. The opening of the series for the Pacific Coast Music Conference was a distinc¬ tive honor conferred upon the choir. The Sacramento Principals Association entertained Dr. Hopkins of Columbia University, an eminent educator. After the choir sang, Dr. Hopkins said that he had never heard more beautiful singing. The Third Annual Concert at the Tuesday Club on April 2, proved the most successful of the choir ' s concerts both financially and artistically. On the annual tour visits were made in the followinq places: Stanford University, Alameda, San Jose, Palo Alto, Redwood City, Chico, Red Bluff, and Willows. Other trips were made to Grass Valley, Yuba City, Marysville, and San Francisco. Dr. Joseph Maddy of the University of Michigan and Carnegie Institute, who travels about the country hearinq school music organizations, said of this choir: Excellent work . . . achieved under the most adverse conditions . . . outstanding development ... no criticisms. Dr. Hans Leschke of the San Francisco Art Commission, Director of the San Francisco Municipal Chorus, and associated with Alfred Hertz of the San Francisco Symphony made this comment, Your A Capella Choir is a first rate group of young singers. Tone quality, intonation, balance, rhythm, and interpretation were excellent. The singing of the group sounded like the work of a professional chorus and I was delighted to find such high class work is possible in a junior college. Richard Keys Bigqs, eminent American organist, said, Some of the most beau¬ tiful singing I have ever heard from any American qroup. It is realized that without Miss Ivine Shields, the director of the choir, a repu¬ tation of this kind would not be possible.

DOROTHY EVANS The Cameo EDDIE CANTOR Mr. Lawrence Bacon March 25 1936 Sacramento Junior College Sacramento, California My dear Lawrence Bacon: Here they are. I m not a new hand at this business of selecting the fairest. I ' ve done it or several other colleges throughout the country. So it may prove a compliment (and a rriost sincere one, believe me) when I say that Sacramento Junior College presented the greatest problem of all the institutions. Your entire group is lovely; it was difficult to narrow down my selection to a mere six girls. Congratulations to the six Queens—and also to the other young ladies whose photographs were submitted. Remember: judging a girl ' s beauty by her snapshot is much like judging a nation ' s beauty by a picture postcard. If you require my services further, you can address me at the North Pole. Cordially, EDDIE CANTOR. P. S.—I have made a few notes regarding each of the six queens. Page 72 PIONEER, 1936 ALDERINE JENNINGS The typical American girl; sparkling, glowing health.

Page 83 ATHLETICS r Page 85 PION EER, I 936 Harry A. Hack Applequist, Head of the Physical Education De¬ partment at S. J. C., is also a more than usually successful football men¬ tor, having won three conference crowns in six starts with the Panther gridders. He was varsity baseball catcher at Washington State as well as an All American guard and in the spring takes enough time off his other duties to coach the Cardinal and Gold nine to a long chain of victories. William C. Bill Sim, the latest addition to the S. J. C. athletic de¬ partment, assists in molding the Panther football machines. He is especially adept in backfield rudi¬ ments, having starred in a halfback post at Stanford. Most of his energy however is expended in expanding the new Intramural athletic plan which he inaugurated here two years ago. Sim also acts as rugby in¬ structor. Page 86 A TOAST TO Sacramento Junior College has been fortunate during the last few years in securing the services of men like Hack Applequist, Bill Sim, Glenn Mercer, and Eldee Weldon to guide its athletic destiny. Especially fortunate, however, are the young men whose character and personality as well as physical prowess have been benefitted through intimate contact with these men. For they stand among the few who realize that the important thing is not whether one has won or lost but how one has played the game. And if at times their work has not netted championships and silver cups, it has always produced clean sportsmanship, high morale, and the will, at least, to win. All institutions engaging in Inter-collegiate athletics must necessarily pass through lean years with victory only a mirage in order to reap the fat years of triumph ridden reality. Sacramento Junior College is no exception. But from every indication the 1935-36 season will mark the beginning of another glorious era, an era when conference crowns and silver cups will publicize the ascendency of the Cardinal and Gold. It was a beautiful, lonq touchdown pass from Captain Little¬ field to Milosevich during the Marin game that put the Panthers ahead for the first time in the season and awakened a scoring spree reminiscent of the days of Donideo. And with the lightning perfection of that bullet toss, and the remarkable comeback of an inspired eleven, a two year depression in Panther stock came to an abrupt end. Immediately Mercers cassaba contenders became the high- scoring scourge of the basketball conference and lost the crown only after a hectic finish with San Francisco J. C. in a complete reversal of the previous season ' s play. Financially unable to enter and probably annex the confer¬ ence baseball championship, S. J. C. was enabled by the coopera¬ tion of the Sacramento Golf Club and other organizations to re¬ vive the National Pastime with a great record compiled against all available competition in this vicinity. THE COACHES Glen H. Mercer, former Oregon State College athletic star, is another double duty coach at S. J. C., divid¬ ing his attention between the basket¬ ball team and the crew. In both sports, Mercer has been highly suc¬ cessful. His basketball quintet was barely nosed out for the conference title while the crew always renders a strong account of itself, even against varsity university competition. L. D. Weldon came all the way from Iowa University, where he once held the world record for the javelin throw, to annually produce champion¬ ship Panther track teams. His squad this year is stronger than ever and several members seem likely to fol¬ low his footsteps into the Olympics. Weldon also coaches the Cardinal and Gold tennis players and during the fall helps the gridders get in shape. But essentially 1936 is Olympic Year and it is track that re¬ ceives the homage of the sports world. Consequently the Weldon Wonders produced the most powerful cinder machine ever assim¬ ilated by a junior college and notified the world that Panther athletic teams were again rising to the same high pinnacle that made it impossible for them to schedule conference opponents six years ago. In other fields of sport a similar magnetism drew victory after victory to the Capital City coffer. A veteran fall crew rowed un¬ defeated both at home and abroad while an inexperienced spring varsity proved a strong contender in every race. The ski squad in its first year of competition encountered the pick of coast universities and responded by bringing a state cham¬ pionship to Sacramento. Even tennis, the forgotten sport on the S. J. C. campus, was climaxed in glory as Captain Ralston led the Cardinal racqueteers to victory over the California Aggies. Yet, great as the local athletic rejuvenation has been, greater accomplishments in the immediate future are practically assured. Returning stars plus new ones unearthed in spring football prac¬ tice constitute a decidely firm foundation for a 1936 champion¬ ship team. Basketball, track, crew and baseball veterans are nearly certain to carry on where they left off this year and minor sports in an institution as large as ours always take care of themselves. New buildings will be ready next fall to welcome new students and lure new athletes . Furthermore the new ' bread and board ' policy of the Junior Chamber of Commerce will add to the mag¬ netism of the best equipped and modernized two year institution in the United States by supplying amateur athletes a chance to work their way through S. J. C. And while posterity and prosperity are certain to breed a four year college on the Freeport Boule¬ vard campus, in the meantime there is nothing but bright clouds on the Sacramento Junior College athletic horizon. —WADE BRUMMAL Page 87 The Panther HACK AND BILL INSPECT THEIR WORK MANAGER MEL JOHNS Gridsters Third in Conference WADE BRUMMAL The record books show that the Sacramento Junior College football team did not win the conference crown last fall. In fact, the Cardinal and Gold was raised in tri¬ umph on only two occasions, the Panthers ' final appear¬ ances on the qridiron. But the accomplishment of the 1935 eleven is not to be dimmed by record books, but rather magnified by the fight and perseverance of a tradition-making team. It is like the final achievement of the game pugilist who won ' t be licked. Battered and grogqy from five knockdowns in seven starts, the Panther picked itself off the canvas to K. O. the grid hopes of the favored Marin and San Fran¬ cisco jaysees. And in this gallant comeback, a fighting- mad Panther won the acclaim and admiration of its worst critics, besides setting a precedent for future Panther elevens to remember. Perhaps a true valuation of the Panther ' s play can best be found in the statements of two of Northern California ' s leading athletic authorities, Steve Georqe, Sports Editor of the Sacramento Union, and Wilbur Adams of the Sac¬ ramento Bee ' s Sport Staff. Both of these men have been in the press box to witness the Panthers coast to several conference championships in the past, and yet were so im¬ pressed with the showinq of the 1935 eleven that they wrote special m ' essaqes for the Pioneer in which they made the following comments. Steve George stated, Despite publicized pressure of finances, and qate receipts, football is in theory and in fact, a game of clean but hard amateur sport. In that re¬ gard, Sacramento Junior Colleqe need not regret the 1935 season in takinq inventorv of wins and losses, wherein the latter outnumbered the former. The Panthers played for the fun of the qame, the entertainment of the student body and the edification of the public. In so doing, they played hard and clean and willingly—tryinq their utmost to win. After all, that ' s as much as any football team can do, win, lose, or tie. CAPTAIN CARL LITTLEFIELD Pigskin Parade WAI CHALKS UP POINT TWENTY-SEVEN AGAINST THE RAMS Wilbur Adams went even a step further in declaring, It is easy to win and smile, but it is one of the toughest assignments in the world to keep that smile on your face when you are losing. The Sacramento Junior College has just passed throuqh a season of disap¬ pointments which was most sad, but it proved one thinq: the Panthers can take it. There was not a single complaint from one of Sacramento ' s opponents, charging the locals with poor sportsmanship. So we doff our hats to the Sacramento Junior Col¬ lege athletes—true sportsmen. For from the outset the 1935 season provoked a very dismal outlook indeed. Coach Hack Applequist, moulder of three conference championship grid machines, was confronted with the Rockneian task of drilling the necessary fundamentals of the highly complicated Warner system into a group of willina but inexperienced recruits. The scarcity of returning veterans, that found only the fullback post manned by Cap¬ tain Carl Littlefield, and Hank White ' s guard position taken care of by a seasoned letterman, was certain to produce a none too smoothly runnina earlv season machine. However, tackles, Rex Gaskins and Bob Oakes; centers, Chuck Dawson and Louie Anzore, and fullback Vernon Alley had seen considerable action durina the previous fall campaign and aided in filling in important qaps in the new machine. The remaining holes, and there were plenty of them, were filled entirely bv new candidates. Warren Bird took over the signal calling iob with Francis Wai, fresh from the Hawaiian Islands. Carlos Long, who made the trans-Pacific voyage with Wai, became an immediate sensation at guard.

Despite a bad leg, little Tony Raneri was groomed for the key left half posi¬ tion when an operation forced the heavily counted upon Cliff Perry to the sidelines for the greater part of the season. George Relies was given first call over Chuck Carper and Joe Smith at the tough blocking half assignment to complete the back- field of Littlefield, Bird and Raneri. Norman Bushong and Benny Reams also saw some early season backfield action as did Bill Hunter, Bob Mays, Olan Sneed, Wally Schofield, Jim Fischer, John Sampson, and Bob Smith in the line. Jessen Called, the St. Helena lad who rose from third string center to star end and eventually Captain for the 1936 eleven, improved consistently throughout the season. But Applequist ' s worries were not confined to the early season period, for as the fall campaiqn progressed injuries played havoc with much of the first strinq ma¬ terial. Redford Rollins, sturdy Los Angeles tackle, was put out for the season after his very first game. Countless other temporary iniuries cut down the availability ot much first string material and brought to light a noticeable lack of capable substitu¬ tions for several vital positions. Moreover this necessitated a complete revamping of the Cardinal and Gold machine and mechanic Applequist worked long and diligently to overhaul it. Thus it was late in the season before the Panther stalked the gridiron fully armed to cope with all opposition. And when the remodeled edition of the jaysee varsity finally took the field marked by the return of Perry to the line-up, the com¬ paratively new face of Reams was in the backfield with Bird, Perry, and Littlefield. The forward wall found White shifted to tackle to team with the aggressive Mays; Calleri starring at a wing position opposite the hard workinq Milosevich; Anzore getting the call over Dawson in the pivot position while Long, Schofield and Hunter vied for the call at the guard berths. But once this machine was ready, it produced a chill of terror that echoed in Marin County and San Francisco to the tune of 25 and 27 to 0. And with this happy ending blazed on an ill-bequn campaiqn, the perseverance of Applequist and As¬ sistant Coach Sim, the confidence of Panther supporters, and the fiqht of an eleven that would not stay down, was fully rewarded. And while the entire Cardinal and Gold machine share in the glory that could not be kept from them, Captain Carl Littlefield, unanimous choice for All Conference fullback, deserves special mention for his great play and inspirational leadership. September 28: The Panthers launched their 1935 grid campaign with a highly successful invasion of the Chico State Wildcat ' s stamping qround. Although the final score left the two elevens just where they started, a lot of sensational early season play was crowded into the sixty minutes before the timer ' s gun ended a 0-0 tie and proved the inexperienced Panthers could hold their own against a veteran aggregation of Far Western Conference stars. A determined goal line stand that stopped a last minute Wildcat thrust on the 14-yard line in the day ' s only scoring MILOSEVICH BOOTS THE ONRUSHING WILDCATS BACK TO COFFIN CORNER Page 94 ROARING FOR ACTION THE PANTHER GRID MACHINE LINES UP WITH MILOSEVICS ROLLINS, GASKINS, LONG, ANZORE, WHITE AND ENRIGHT IN THE FORWARD WALL, AND REAMS, WAI, LIT¬ TLEFIELD AND ALLEY CAVORT¬ ING IN THE BACKFIELD. threat, and the consistent coffin corner kicking of Milosevich featured the Panther ' s battle against their oldest athletic rival. Anzore at center and Captain Littlefield stood out on defense. October 5: In climaxing their defensive play of the previous week, Sacramento amassed close to 200 yards in a great middle of the field offensive exhibition against a much heavier Stanford Frosh at Palo Alto only to literally give away the game, 7-0 when Pete Zagar, husky Papoose tackle, intercepted a second quarter lateral and raced from midfield for the score. The Panthers came as close as the one-foot line during the first half and were a continual menace throughout the game. Alley with his jarring tackles, and Anzore again starred for the Capital City gridders. October 12: Coming out for their Columbus Day battle in that once-a-season lethargy, Sacramento found the St. Mary ' s Frosh aerial circus bombing out a 33-6 victory in the Cardinal and Gold ' s first home showing. And except for an inspira¬ tional third-quarter rally that sent Captain Littlefield plunging across the Gael goal, the Moragans held the upper hand throughout. Costly fumbles spotted the visitors to a 9-0 lead when the game was scarcely un¬ der way, and for the only time during the season the Panthers gave indications of breaking completely under the opposition ' s barrage. St. Marv ' s tallied mostly on cleverly executed pass plays that sent the Moraga star, Joe Hurley, repeatedly into the clear to snag tosses from Aronsen, Freitas, and Perrie for points and yard¬ age. Mays, Long, Alley, and Littlefield weathered the on¬ slaught and kept the Car¬ dinal and Gold fighting to the finish.

November II: The last faint conference crown dream lingering with the Pan¬ thers was violently interrupted by a powerful San Mateo team that tore through the Hackmen in a traditionally bitter Armistice Day battle with fast, shifty backs, a hard charging forward wall, and an exceptionally big bag of football tricks. The score was 13-0, both Bulldog touchdowns coming in the first half as indirect results of intercepted passes. Halfback Higgins scored first in the opening oeriod on a 37-yard jaunt around his own right end. Cahill converted. The second score was provided by a bullet pass from Cavelli to Foley iust before the half ended. The Blue and White spent the re¬ mainder of the afternoon repelling savage Sacramento forays which on one occasion in the third quarter brought the Cardinal and Gold in a series of long dashes to the seven-yard marker before being halted by a stubborn Bulldog defense. Littlefield found the pre-warned Mateans a bit too wary of his offensive prowess and sought revenqe in stopping the Bulldogs time after time. Alley, Perry and White also earned many a cheer from home rooters. November 16: Somewhat ruffled by the outcome of their first conference starts, the Panthers jubilantly welcomed the opportunity of decisively celebrating their 1935 victory debut, by overwhelming the heavier but slower Marin J. C. grid- ders 25-6. Sacra mento opened the scoring midway in the first quarter when Captain Littlefield dropped back to his own 45-yard line and heaved a perfect pass to Mil- osevich who scampered the remaining 30 yards to the goal line. And although that play put the home team ahead for the first time during the season, they immediately allowed Marin to knot the count with a pair of passes culminating in Hughes ' one- foot plunge to pay dirt. A TRIO OF BULLDOGS NAB LITTLE TONY RANERI. Page 97 against the Gaels, the J. C. Varsity entered the Cal. Aggie big game savagely an¬ ticipating a feast on Mustang meat. But the Aggies had ideas of their own concern¬ ing the big game dinner menu. Both elevens had to be content with a 7-7 tie. The Davis gridders drew first blood in the second quarter when Julio Pane ploughed the last two yards through the iaysee line for a touchdown. Captain Graves then pro¬ ceeded to put the finishing touch on the Yolo scoring ledger by calmly drop-kicking the extra point. The Mustang ' s seven points kept looking bigger and bigger on the scoreboard until midway in the final quarter Benny Reams broke loose on a double reverse to gallop 35 yards around left end and cross the coveted Aggie goal line without a hand touching him. Then a masterpiece of Panther strategy sent hefty Captain Little¬ field crashing through the Farmer ' s forward wall to deadlock the qame. Littlefield, Reams, May, Long and Wai made a creditable showing, but it was the unknown Joe Smith who clicked off Applequist ' s typical Warner reverse plays to become the big¬ gest threat of the day. October 26: Hardly expected to prove more than a minor annoyance to Clint Evan ' s undefeated Bear Cubs, the Sacramentans won the plaudits of some 50,000 fans at Berkeley when they battled the strongest University freshmen squad on the coast to a standstill throughout the greater part of the game. Although the Cubs tore at will through their opponent ' s line, they were forced to manufacture a 27-to-6 vic¬ tory over the Panthers by the latter ' s costly fumbles, and their own long touchdown dashes. Bottari, Sharp, Devaurs, and Ades divided the Cubs scorinq between them, while the Panthers climaxed a second quarter drive that yielded three successive first downs with a 14-yard touchdown pass from Littlefield to Bird. Littlefield ' s line plunge for the conversion failed by inches. Long, Enright and Mays proved the defensive bulwark of Sacramento, while Littlefield and Raneri led the J. C. attack. November 2: The Panther ' s first conference opponent, the Modesto J. C. Pirates, escaped from Sacramento with a scant 7-6 victory after an alert but badly battered Pirate crew staved off a rampaging Jungle Cat with repeated goal line stands. Yet the greatest stand of the day was staged by the home boys when they held the Buccaneers for four downs on the one-foot line after Cliff Perry had overtaken Winslow with a beautiful flyinq tackle. Thanks to the toe of a substitute fullback, Walt Sefton, Modesto converted a six-point handicap given them in the first minutes of play when the Sea Rovers re¬ turned a blocked Panther punt 60 yards for a touchdown. After that the game was all Sacramento, Captain Littlefield rolling up more yardage than the entire Modesto team as he ripped five yar ds a crack up and down the field, finally bolting across the Modesto goal late in the second quarter after a sustained 65-yard drive. And although the surprisingly strong Sacramento team continued to tear the weary Pirate line to shreds in the second half, a stubborn defense plus some very peculiar offici¬ ating nullified every drive. Littlefield was the star of the day with Perry and Sho- field also turning in a praiseworthy performance. LITTLEFIELD PLUNGES OVER TO COMPLETE AN INSPIRATIONAL, 60 YARD TOUCHDOWN DRIVE AGAINST THE GAELS. Page 96 Page 98 With Littlefield and Perry clicking off steady gains the Panthers really went to town during the last three quarters. Littlefield scored on a one-yard plunge in the second quarter; Calleri raced the second half kickoff 70-yards up the sideline for another Panther touchdown and finally in the fourth quarter Ran- eri sped 22 yards for the last six points. He then booted the only successful conversion of the day. Besides Little¬ field, Raneri, Calleri, and Milosevich, the Marin triumph found Wai and Dawson cast in starring roles. November 28 : Taking a liking to their first taste of victory, S. J. C. lost no time in turning their Thanksgiving Day skirmish with the new San Fran- dawson finishes his job cisco J. C. into a 27-6 rout. The locals scored twice in the first quarter and then coasted until late in the final per¬ iod. Reams set the pace by following beautiful interference across the Ram goal on a 44-yard double reverse. Littlefield added the seventh point from placement. Before Russ Sweet ' s charges could recover from this attack Milosevich scampered some 35 yards for another six points with an intercepted lateral. This time Littlefield missed the conversion. Guisiti accounted for the visitor ' s lone tally with a 19-yard reverse in the sec¬ ond quarter after a pass to Pedrin had placed the ball in scoring position. Sacra¬ mento drove to the I I-yard line before the half ended, but failed to reach the end zone until Perry, on the dead run, took a 35-yard pass in the fourth quarter from Littlefield and continued 30 yards to a touchdown. Alley place kicked point number 20 . After Raneri had intercepted a frantic Ram pass with only seconds to play, Alley carted the pigskin 19 yards for the final touchdown. Wai then closed the Pan¬ ther ' s scoring for the season by kicking the twenty-seventh point. The wide open at¬ tacks of both elevens added excitement to the game, and the brilliant play of the entire Sacramento team sparked by the speedy Reams was the best of the season. Anzore and Dawson at center; Long and Schofield, guards; Mays and White, tackles; OLAN SNEED, GUARD, CHUCK CARPER, BLOCKING HALF, AND AGGRESSIVE BOB MAYS PROVED THREE EXCELLENT REPLACEMENTS FOR THE CARDINAL AND GOLD.

The Panther cagers were in the running for the title until the end of the season when they dropped the second game of the Modesto series. Until this loss the Panthers had been tied with the newly-formed San Francisco Junior College; the latter now moved into first place and possession of the championship. Coach Glenn Mercer ' s team was characterized by an exceedingly strong defense, which averaged 47 points per game in conference play. Defensively the team was com¬ paratively weak, with an average of 34 points per game mercer on the court being chalked up against them. The Panthers seemed to play under the theory that a good offense is the best defense. This theory worked out very well in most of the games, as the Red and Gold lineup boasted a number of eagle-eyed basket shooters. Leading the array of dangerous offensive men was Lee Hunt, who was named honorary captain at the close of the season. He looped 162 points from his forward position in the fourteen league games. Hunt and Dave Kerwin, star guard and pivot man for the Panthers, were named on the of¬ ficial all-conference team, selected each year by the coaches. Al Irwin proved to be a consistent basket maker, as did Max Forbes, who was high scorer on the S. J. C. quintet in 1935. Leslie Watson, Chet Fields, and Sakaye Oshita, tall Japanese guard, gained the reputation of being the best defensive players in the confer¬ ence. Stan Hobson, Marion Barnes, Paul Leddy and Morgy Davison rounded out the varsity squad. The loss of Gil Yates, Henry Pettingill, and Everett Olson just before the conference conflicts, weakened the reserve strength of the Panthers con¬ siderably. Varsity players who will gradu¬ ate this spring are Captain Hunt, Forbes, Fields, Oshita, Hobson, Leddy and Davison. MANAGER JACK WHEALIN Court Campaign CAPTAIN LEE HUNT The Panthers were handicapped slightly by the lack of a sufficient number of good pre-season practice games. Coach Mercer entered two teams in the Sacra¬ mento city league in November in order to give a large number of players a chance to show their ability. One team was made up of freshmen and the other of soph¬ omores—the frosh playing under the banner of Whites and the second-year men cavorting as Reds. Competition was poor, however, and the Junior College hoopsters did not benefit particularly. PRE-CONFERENCE GAMES Chico State College, the Panthers ' first major opponent, came out of their Northern lair just long enough to claw out a double victory over the Sacramento varsity. Although they met the Panthermen shortly after the freshmen and soph¬ omore outfits had been welded into one team, they had a hard time nosinq out a slim 40-38 in the first meetina. The second niqht found the experienced Wildcat cagers breaking through the Cardinal and Gold defense in the second half to run up a 36-22 victory margin. The outstanding game of the pre-conference tilts, however, resulted in a spectacular 33-31 victory over our traditional rivals, the California Aggies, which revenged a similarly hard fought Mustang triumph of the year before. Lee Hunt personally accounted for 15 of the jaysee tallies. The following week Mercers hoopsters ran wild to outdistance the strong Northern California Life five of Sacramento 53-39. This game gave S. J. C. the mythical city championship. In other practice contests aqainst the best Northern California competition available, the Panthers dropped close battles with the Auburn Cubs, the Stockton Y. M. C.

CONFERENCE GAMES January 24-25: The Panthers had little difficulty in subduing Yuba ' s Forty-Niners in the opening league series by 54-19 and 53-26 counts. Minus the services of Ker- win and Watson, Hunt was moved back from forward to take over Kerwin ' s pivot position. Irwin and Oshita led the scoring iho first night with 14 and 12 points re¬ spectively. The second tilt saw Yuba put up a stubborn resistance to lead at the end of the half, but the Sacramento quintet soon closed the gap and left their opponents far behind. Irwin and Fields tallied 13 points each. January 31-Feb. I: Baskets rained through the hoop against Menlo as S. J. C. playing on its home court established a new high scoring record by ringing up the huge total of 86 points to Menlo ' s 28 in the Friday night tilt. Kerwin, back with the team again, bagged 20 points, closely followed by Irwin with 16. The following ALL CONFERENCE KERWIN evening the Menloans tried to hold the score down by using a deliberate offense, but were unable to do so, the game resulting in a 59-26 rout for the Mercermen. February 7-8: San Francisco Junior College ' s battling Rams gave the capital city lads their first taste of defeat in a wild battle in the cracker-box Galileo High gym in San Francisco. The first night score stood 35-26 in favor of the Rams. The Sacramentans couldn ' t seem to get their sights adjusted to the hoop and none of the squad made more than two field goals. The second game told an entirely different story. Although they were behind at the start, the home lads soon gained momentum and coasted to victory. Watson, tall center, played his best game of the year and amassed 17 points. Kerwin and Hunt rang up 12 apiece. Sacra¬ mento took the game 54-37. February 14-15: Back home again the local college hoopsters duplicated their series of the previous week, by dropping the first game 48-54, and winning the second 44-28. Loose guarding and an off night on offense were the deciding factors, as Mulgrew and Copsey of Santa Rosa dropped 21 and 20 points through Page 104 LEADING 82-26, THE PANTHERS RELAX AND MISS A SHOT AGAINST MENLO the net to lead the Saints. The game was rough and Oshita and Fields were both ejected from the game on fouls. Mercer ' s charges came back with a vengeance to take the second game. Hunt scored 15 points. February 21-22: Marin furnished little competition and both tilts resulted in clear-cut wins for Sacramento. The second game was hard-fought, but the Panthers drew away in the closing minutes. Hunt led the scoring both nights with 18 and I I. Fields, dusky center, played a great game on Friday besides totalling 13 points. The final scores were in Sacramento ' s favor: 45-35, 38-29. February 28-29: The Cardinal and Gold five ran into a tartar at Modesto. The opening game of the series kept the large crowd in an uproar. It was a seesaw game from start to finish. A beautiful shot from the center of the court by sub¬ stitute Irwin, just as the gun sounded, won the game for the Panthers 51-50. The second engagement resulted in disaster for S. J. C., and consequently knocked them out of the first place position in the leaque. Screen plays by the Pirates worked to perfection, while the locals played their worst offensive ball of the season. Final score: Modesto 38, Sacramento 24. March 6-7: Behind 18-25 in the first game of the final series, the Panther dribblers pulled the game out of the fire and went on to take a 45-42 overtime Page 105 THE S. J. C. RESERVE BASKETBALL TEAM LINES UP WITH JONES, LILLEY, NEELY AND WALLACE IN THE BACK ROW AND DAVISON, HERRINGER, B. FORBES AND KAHN IN FRONT WATSON NETS TWO POINTS victory from San Mateo. Kerwin, with 15 points, and Hunt with 13 tallies, led the scoring. An overtime period was necessary. With all hopes for the championship gone, as San Francisco won its final games by forfeit, the disheartened Panthers played listlessly and were defeated by a 44-41 score in the last contest of the year, after leading the Bulldogs 26-25 at the half. Hunt wound up his jaysee career with five brilliant field goals and a brace of free throws. CUBS CAGE CASABA The Sacramento Junior College Freshmen, alias the Reserves, established quite an en¬ viable record of their own during the short 1936 season in winning a majority of the court contests they engaqed in with high school var¬ sities, college freshmen, and independent fives. The Panther Cubs likewise served as a goof squad which Coach Glenn Mercer used to skirmish the varsity cagers. Victories were rung up over all three Sacra¬ mento high schools; Christian Brothers High, Grant Union High, and Sacramento High. Stockton proved the only high school quintet strong enough to trim the Panther Cubs and netted 48 points to shade the Reserves by an even twenty on the following the Cubs 35-22 victory over Sacramento High. The cardinal and Gold Cubs had previously split a two game series with the Chico State Freshmen played as preliminaries to the varsity tilts. The Staters nabbed the first 47-35 but the second night found the Cubs slipping over a last minute 41-39 victory. In another varsity Page 106 High Scoring Quintet of the N. C. J. C. C.

The Sacramentans took eight first places with Jack Parker get¬ ting the individual scoring cup with a 144-foot discus victory and a 46-foot shot put. Other firsts were taken by Reams in a :9.6 century; Calleri in the 440; Forbes, high jump; McFarland, javelin; McWilliams, broad-jump; and the relay team of Detlefsen, Van Gundy, Brooks and Calleri. The Panther ' s overwhelming victory in the conference meet left the record of Coach L. D. Weldon ' s latest wonder team marred only by a loss to one of the strong¬ est track squads on the Pacific Coast, the Fresno State Bulldogs. And even this loss was due mainly to the absence of one of Sacramento ' s fifteen point men and Olympic prospect, the ebony speedster, Claude McWilliams. In other dual meets the Panthers boast decisive victories over the California Freshmen, San Mateo Junior College, Chico State College, and Modesto Junior Col¬ lege. Several of the outstanding trackmen will carry the Panther colors into the United States Olympic tryouts and from present indications Jack Parker in the decathlon, Claude McWilliams in the broad-jump and Les Watson in the high-iump seem likely candidates to make the Berlin trip. At any rate, the great success of the track season thus far broods nothing but greater glory for the Capital City cinder aces in the future. March 7: In the California Frosh en¬ counter, a meet that the Weldonmen never fail to win by at least 30 points, the Panthers ran up the largest total of their Berkeley competition, 83-39. Although jumping for the first time this season, Claude McWilliams flashed down the broad-jump runway to leap out 24 feet 4 inches. Before the day was over, Mac had MANAGER HUNTER ■m Track Triumph McWilliams leads the century parade in :9.7 time with reams UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE. THE GREAT KIRTPATRICK PULLS UP THIRD. CAPTAIN JIM HUMPHREY. added two more victories to his total, winning the 100-yard dash in 10 flat, and the 220 in 22.3. Jack Parker came through with a 23 feet I M 2 inch jump to place second to McWilliams. Parker won the shot at 43 feet, the discus at 130 feet and tied for first with Max Forbes at 6 feet in the high jump. Captain Humphrey captured the high hurdles in the good early season time of 15 flat, and placed second to Benny Reams in the low hurdles. The remainder of the Sacramento total was amassed as follows: Reams, second in the 100; Boore- man, third in the 220; Calleri and Detlefsen, second and third in the 440; Joe Calder who won the mile in 4:38; Ely, third in the mile; Van Riper, second in the high hurdles and third in the low sticks; McGowan, second in the shot and javelin and third in the discus; Fereira and Wright, tied for second in the pole vault; Jimmy Mc¬ Farland, first in the javelin with a 182-foot toss; and the winning Panther relay combination of Horn, Booreman, Calleri and Schofield. April II: San Mateo, headed by Leroy Kirtpatrick, regarded as an Olympic certainty, found its Sacramento excursion ending in a disastrous 73-49 rout. Captain Jim Humphrey in finishing two feet behind Kirtpatrick, forced the great San Matean to tie the conference high hurdle record of 14.6. Claude McWilliams again breezed to three first places, copping the 100 in 9.8, the furlong in 22 flat, and the broad- jump at 23 feet 10 inches. Jack Parker followed McWilliams in individual perform¬ ances with two firsts and another second in the broad-jump with a 23 feet 5 inch leap. Parker took the shot at 45 feet 5 inches and the discus at 135 feet. Benny Reams, the Fairfield Flier, finished on McWilliams ' heels in the 100, nosing out Kirtpatrick who took third. The Sacramento pole-vault trio of Ramos, Fereira, and Wright swept their event to compensate for a Bulldog sweep in the 880. Jock Detlefsen and Dick Booreman broke the 440 tape in a blanket finish with Wirz of San Mateo whom the judges awarded first place. Detlefsen took second.

Max Forbes and Chet Fields tied at 6 feet 2 inches to take the high jump and then Forbes v ent on with Les Watson to clear the bar at 6 feet 5 inches in an exhibition jump. Jimmy McFarland again took the javelin at 182 feet and the Panther relay quartet of Detlefsen, Calleri, Van Gundy, and Brooks won by 100 yards in 3:25.6. The Cardinal and Golds ' scoring was topped off with Ream ' s second in the low hurdles, Perry ' s third in the 220, McGowan ' s third in the shot, McFarland ' s third in the discus, Ca lder ' s third in the mile, and Prewitt ' s third in the javelin. April 18: With Claude McWilliams out with tonsilitis, and forced to forfeit nine points in the two-mile, an event foreign to junior college compe¬ tition, the Panthers met their first defeat of the season at the hands of the Fresno State Bulldogs 78 2-5 to 52 3-5 on the Raisin City track. Jack Parker was easily the outstanding man of the day. In defeating Clarence Rowland, one of the nation ' s top javelin throwers, Parker accom¬ plishing a feat no other coast athlete has been able to do. The Sacramento decathlon ace threw the spear 204 feet 3 inches to beat Rowland by more than four feet. Parker also annexed the shot- put with a 46 feet 6 inch heave, the broad jump with a 23 feet I inch leap, and placed second in the discus. Ed Jones, another Fresno javelin ace, placed out of the money when the Capital City ' s Jimmy McFarland hurled himself into third place. Benny Reams churned his diminutive legs down the straightaway for a 10 second victory in the 100 with Dick Booreman a close third. In the 220 the order was reversed with Booreman second and Reams third to Fresno ' s Olympic hope, Lyle Jamieson. The time was exceptionally fast—21.6. Captain Humphrey took the high hurdles in 14.7 without being pressed and Chet Fields surprised by finishing third. Humphrey garnered places in two other events, a second in the low hurdles, and a third in the broad-jump. Les Watson, ineligible for conference meets, gathered in five points with a 6 feet 3 inch high- jump, while Panthers Forbes and Fields tied with three Bulldogs for second at 6 feet. Sacramento ' s quartermilers had a bad day com¬ peting with Jamieson of Fresno, who set a new track record of 48.8 in winning the 440. Jess Calleri after setting the early pace finished a good third. For the second consecutive meet the Cardinal and Gold cindermen failed to place in the 880. The point scoring was completed for the locals with Joe Calder ' s second in the mile, and thirds by Mc¬ Gowan in the shot, Ramos in the pole vault, and Van Riper in the low hurdles.

April 25: The great Sacramento track team literally annihilated all Modesto J. C. track ambitions by a 100-22 defeat administered in the Pirate stronghold. This time Jack Parker took his three firsts in the shot at 46 feet 8 inches, discus at 130 feet 2 inches, and broad-jump at 23 feet.

Page 113 COACHING COXSWAIN SMILEY MANAGER JAMES HILGROVE PION EER, I 9 3 6 = The Panther Oarsmen Conquer California KENNETH ZUMWALT Unlike other major sports at Sacramento Junior College, the crew season is distinctly divided into two semesterly campaigns and thus Coach Glenn Mercer ' s oarsmen habitually establish an enviable record with a veteran crew during one semester while the other season finds a group of green rowers being moulded into a future championship combination. Usually the fall crew is the weakling while the spring shell glides across the finish line ahead of such strong shells as the U. C. L. A. varsity, the California junior varsity and the Cali¬ fornia freshman eight. The 1935-36 rowing seasons, however, found the usual procedure completely turned around when a veteran fall varsity shell climaxed an un¬ defeated season with a victory over the strongest California Frosh crew in years while an in¬ experienced spring varsity, lacking the power and smoothness of their predecessors, fol¬ lowed in the wake of this same California Freshman boat a few months later. The Sac¬ ramento Junior College junior varsity like¬ wise proved strong in the fall, but weakened considerably in the spring with the promotion of most of its members to the varsity. The third boat, on the other hand, was stronger in the spring than during the fall racing sea¬ son, although much of its talent was advanced to the junior varsity. November I: Rowing in the rain over the treacherous Sacramento river course, the fall varsity defeated an alumni eight by one length after conceding the Salisbury stroked grads a three length handicap in the 2,000 meter grind. The varsity crew contained prac¬ tically the same boatload of seasoned oars¬ men as that which astounded the sporting world the previous May by upsetting the U. C. L. A. varsity on the Long Beach Marine Page 114 THE JAYVEE RIDES THE SACRAMENTO course. Big Jim Bennett was stroke with Frank Mitchell, No. 7; Larry Migliavacca, No. 6; Walter Leavitt, No. 5; Kenny Hunter, No. 4; Bud Kersey, No. 3; Drexel Scott, No. 2; Bob Didion, No. I; and Howard Smiley, cox. In a preliminary race the third boat capitalized on a ten length handicap to decision the junior varsity by more than two lengths. The second shell included Jim Anderson, stroke; Bob Thrall, No. 7; Mark Schribner, No. 6; Phil Carpenter, No. 5; Fred Carlin, No. 4; Robert White, No. 3; Hal Stober, No. 2; and Bob Cook, No. I. Tom Hillen was coxswain. November 15: With all oars bending under a body-racking 36 stroke, the Cardinal and Gold varsity shell fairly shot through the water in the last 200 yards of its 2,000 meter race on the Oakland Estuary with the first, second and third California Frosh boats, to flash across the finish line a length ahead of the first California shell. In coming from behind in the closing seconds of the race, the Panther oarsmen staged the fastest finish in junior college history and completed the Estuary course in the fast time of 7:21. Not to be outdone by the varsity the jaysee rowers also came from behind to complete the three-quarter mile distance in 5:45, nearly two lengths ahead of the fourth California Frosh boat. The fifth and sixth freshmen boats, also in the race, faded in the last quarter mile and did not threaten. A little comedy was provided the spectators when the third Sacramento shell splashed about in the water some eight lengths behind the seventh Blue and Gold crew in a novice half-mile event. March 20: Having laid their oars away during the winter months, an entirely new crew came out of hibernation to represent the Cardinal and Gold in a four way race on the Oakland Estuary with the Oregon State varsity, California fourth varsity, and California Frosh. The green Mercer varsity trailed the field as the Cal Frosh sped up the course in record time, closely followed by the Cal fourth varsity and Oregon State. Leavitt and Kersey proved the only returning veterans in the new varsity. Page 115 Shell Survey STROKE JIM ANDERSON Page 116 THE SPRING VARSITY April 3: After waiting for two hours for the rough water to calm on the Oakland Estuary, the Cardinal and Gold third boat defeated the Bear Cub fourth shell by more than twenty lengths. But the third shell ' s example failed to influence Coach Mercer s varsity and junior varsity galleymen for in the other races of the day, the third California Frosh shell led the Jayvee by four lengths while the second freshman and fifth Cal varsity led the Panther varsity across the finish line by two lengths each. April II: Meeting U. C. L. A. in their annual Los Angeles trip, both the varsity and Jayvee lost close races as did the Sacramento High shell in its first year of competition under Coach Mercer. The Panther varsity put up a good fight against the Bruins, leading at the 1,500 meter mark with a 36 stroke-a-minute beat, but slipped behind to finish a length in back of the U. C. L. A. varsity. The Jayvee was also nosed by the Bruin frosh boat in a thrilling race. The time was 7:06, twenty seconds faster than the varsity crews had covered the 2000 meter distance. The roster of the Cardinal varsity places Jim Anderson at stroke; Vierling Kersey, No. 7; Hughes Hobart, No. 6; Walter Leavitt, No. 5; Mark Schribner, No. 4; Phil Carpenter, No. 3; Harold Courtright, No. 2; Ray Ellis, No. I; and Bob Hillen, cox. Meanwhile the Jayvee lined-up with Stober, stroke; Loranger, No. 7; White, No. 6; Carlin, No. 5; Cook, No. 4; Hall, No. 3; Marinovitch, No. 2; and Pease No. I. TiMJS Jack Bedford was cox with Jim Burnside directing the third shell. THE FALL VARSITY The Panther Snow Summary Skiiers State Champions CALDER. BESIO, LOWE AND EDMUNDS TOM ENRIGHT Tony Besio, Earl Edmunds, Joe Calder, and Don Lowe, the members of Sacra¬ mento Junior College ' s ski team, deserve a good deal of credit for the fine showings they made in competition with skiiers representing four-year institutions. Little Kathleen Starret-Anderson, one of the few girls in the country to hold a place on a college ski team, was a member of the Sacramento squad in its first tournament. Handicapped by the lack of members, and a convenient place to practice, the Sacramento ski team achieved a success of which any college could well be proud, fn the majority of meets the team was composed of but three men. In their first engagement, the California State Championship Intercollegiate Ski Meet held at Cisco, the Cardinal and Gold skiiers, meeting the best that the state could offer, came through with the unexpected first place honor. Earl Ed¬ munds led the Panther scor¬ ing, with Besio, Calder and Starrett-Anderson close be¬ hind, Lowe being unable to compete. With only a four- man team participating Sac¬ ramento rolled up a total of 281 points. The University of Nevada placed second with 279.5 points. The Uni¬ versity of California at Berk¬ eley was third was 276.5. The University of California at Los Angeles scored 273.7. The Pacific Coast Inter- colleqiate Skiing Champion¬ ships was the scene of the Panther ski team ' s second showing. Here, entered against the l eading four- year colleqes of the entire Pacific Coast, the Sacramen¬ to boys again surprised even their own supporters by emerging fifth, behind Washington University, California, Nevada, and Reed College, Utah. U. C. L. A., Fresno State, Stanford, California Aggies and Southern California placed in the order named behind the Panthers. gjjg| MANAGER CALDER GLIDES THROUGH THE AIR Page 117 PIONEER, 1936 Panther Diamond Debut Horsehiders Swamp Opposition ROBERT FINDLEY Despite the fact that the Panther baseball team under the tutelage of Coach Hack Applequist was not entered in the Northern California Junior College Confer¬ ence due to a deficit in the athletic budget, the Jaysee nine was one of the best aggregations of baseball material the local dopesters have seen for quite a time. The Panther horsehiders suffered few setbacks and had they been entered in the Northern California Junior College Conference they doubtless would have produced another Sacramento championship. Outstanding among the hit and run men were Cliff Perry, hard-slugging short stop; George Valine, second sacker deluxe; Fred Kienle, steady third baseman; and snappy Bill Jameson, Hack ' s backstop protege. Al Lazzarone, Vernon Patterson, Bert Yost, Stratis Zampathos, and Elmo Lera gave the Cardinalites an abundance of capable moundsmen with Lazzarone and Patterson in particular hurling the Panthers into the victory column. Catcher Dick Coshow and outfielders Bob Smith, Johnny Cowan, and Specs Holliday pocketed much praise for themselves with their consistent play. Bill Free¬ man, stellar first baseman, suddenly graduated into professional baseball when signed by St. Louis Cardinal scouts at the beginning of the varsity season. Others who con¬ tributed their licks that the Jaysee cause should not fail include, Curtis Schmidt who replaced Freeman on the first sack, Ross Grimm and Carlos Forni, heavy hitting outfielders. March I: Opening their season against the strong Merkeley Cubs of Bryte, the Panthers came through in the pinches to pound out a close 8-7 victory on the 28th and C street diamond. Handicapped by the loss of Cliff Perry, fielding star, and the batting punch of outfielder Bob Smith, the local ' s cause was saved by the remarkable early season pitching of Al Lazzarone who fanned eight men. March 7: Chalking up its second straight victory of the season, the varsity nine humbled the powerful Modesto Pirates, 1935 Conference Champions, by a 3-2 score before a large crowd at William Land Park. Fiery little Valine trippled in the first frame and scored on another three b ase smash by Kienle to start things disas- terously for Modesto. Neither team succeeded in putting over another run until in the seventh Valine again hit, scoring Holliday and Forni and making the count 3.0. The Pirates nearly snatched the qame however in the ninth when Lazzarone weakened momentarily and allowed two runs to dent the plate before Kienle pulled the old hidden ball trick and retired the side by tagging a none too alert Modestan. Laz¬ zarone pitched great ball up to the final frame and added nine strike outs to his total. HACK TELLS THE VARSITY HOW IT WAS DONE IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

Front Row: Coach Apple- quist, Forni, Patterson, B. Smith, Weaver, Valine, Lynch, Perry, Calhoun. March 10: Landing on two Preston hurlers for 17 hits, the Panther tossers swamped the Preston School of Industry nine at William Land Park by a 23-2 score. Perry, Valine, Kienle, Bob Smith, and Coshow blasted the ball all over the lot. Laz- zarone again pitched the victory, limiting the Prestonites to five scattered hits. March 17: The Panthers encountered little opposition from Grant Union High and rode roughshod over the Pacers for a 14-0 shut out on the William Land field. Perry collected four safeties in as many trips to the plate to lead the Jaysee bats¬ men, while Jameson, Lazzarone, and Valine cleared the sacks with extra base smash¬ es. Lazzarone, Patterson and Bert Yost, brother of the St. Mary s pitching sensation, Bill Yost, shared the flinging responsibilities and let the Grant boys down with but two bingles. . . , March 20: The Junior Collegians ran their winning streak to tive straight by smashing out an 8-3 triumph over the qreat Sacramento High Dragons on the Wil¬ liam Land diamond. Al Lazzarone won his own game by poling out a home run with two mates on the bases and batting in three more runs with timely singles. Laz¬ zarone wiffed nine Dragons to raise his total to 41. Valine and Cowan also hit hard for the Jungle Cats. . . March 26: In spite of six costly errors and with the dubious record ot having been out hit by Coach Jimmy Flynn ' s Christian Brothers High nine, the Cardinalites somehow won their sixth successive victory 2-0. Three hits by Jameson, Cowan and Forni were combined with Holliday ' s sacrifice to produce the game s only tallies. Patterson pitched perfect ball during his five innings in the box and Lazzarone fin¬ ished without yielding the Irish a single run. April 2: With relief pitcher Patterson striking out nine opponents in five inn¬ ings the Hackmen put the skids under the Woodland Hiqh boys in a 6-1 comeback on the familiar William Land diamond. Lazzarone started the game for Sacramento and allowed only one run before being replaced by Patterson. Cliff Perry and Curtis Schmidt lined several hits deep into the outfield to steal the batting honors. April 4: Journeying to Davis for their ninth game of the season, the Capital City batsmen rose in the twelfth frame to retire two Cal Aqoie tossers with a flurry of base hits and the necessary five runs to bring a 10-5 verdict back to Sacramento. The Panthers accumulated fifteen hits over the extra inning route while the Aggies could only muster six off the slants of Lazzarone and Patterson. Page 115 PIONEER, 1936 The Intramural Round-up PAUL REESE Two years ago William Cuth- bert Sim, youthful assistant foot¬ ball mentor, assumed charge of intramural activities. Since that time Sim has completely remod¬ elled the intramural curriculum in such a way as to popularize intra¬ mural sports and greatly elevate their status. Bill certainly deserves much more praise for the splendid job that he has done as director of intramural activities than our paltry efforts can muster. Intramural football was the opening number that ushered in Maestro Cuthbert ' s intramural ex- ' ’jKPp Jjj travaganza. In a thrilling, fiercely If ,1 fought game, the Slap Happy Jj Napa ns upset the haughty Stock- II . ton Colony Ringers, 10-0, to cli- max an undefeated campaign and Jr j || capture the pigskin championship. The highly publicized Colony lads ping-pong champ kerwin had to content themselves with second place. The Happy Hooli¬ gans, J. C. Men ' s Club, and Chimpanzees ended in a three-way tie for third place. From the array of sturdy stalwarts who participated in the pigskin panorama, the following were selected on the Pioneer all-intramural football team: Kienle (Hooli¬ gans) RE; Oshita (J. C. Men ' s) RT; Reed (Chimpanzees) C; Yost (Dirty Hankies) LT; Yates (Napans) LE; Kerwin (Stockton) Q; McWilliams (Stockton) H; Hunt (Napans) F. With the football fracas finished, the intramural spotlight turned on basketball. Culminating in a razzle-dazzle finish, the clash between the Five Finks and Slap Happy Napans for the intramural hoop championship saw the Finks on the long end of a 29-22 score to gain only a mythical championship because they played an ineligible man. Consequently, the Napans were donated the coveted casaba crown and the flambuoyant Finks wound up in second place. The diminu¬ tive J. C. Men ' s Club aggregation won third place. The Pioneer all-intramural quintet, chosen from the galaxy of hoop talent that dominated the basketball THESE NAPANS WHITEWASHED STOCKTON FOR GRID TITLE Page 120 i THE napans took the medals but the finks won the game tournament, follows: Davison (Napans) forward; Oda (J. C. Men ' s) forward; Yates (Napans) center; Pettingill (Stockton) guard; Quintana (Finks) guard. . Following the completion of the casaba tournament, soft-ball made its debut on the intramural program. The Dragons, a hitherto unheralded intramural team, downed the Happy Hooligans, 7-6, in a hectic contest to cop the soft-ball champion¬ ship. The favored Happy Hooligans team was runner-up. The Stockton Colony Ringers upheld their intramural laurels by winning a third place. The ten players named on the Pioneer all-intramural soft-ball team were: Lera (Hooligans) catcher; Yost (Dragons) and Doyle (Stockton) pitchers; Hunt (Napans) lb; Kerwin (Stockton) 2b; Quintana (Chimpanzees) ss; Kienle (Hooligans) 3b; Lazzarone (Hooli¬ gans) If; Valine (Dynamiters) cf; Anderson (Stockton) rf; Yuke (Dragons) utility. VOTED SACRAMENTO J, C. ' s GREATEST ATHLETE, CARL LITTLEFIELD Page 121 Ladies in the Sportlight College Coeds Caper SARAH HARBINSON To introduce every junior college coed to individual and group activity of wide enough range that each may choose an activity which is both pleasing and satisfying to her indi¬ vidual need is the purpose of one of the most active and best de¬ veloped groups in the Junior College, the Woman ' s Physical Education de¬ partment. In this realm there is a wider variety of activities available than any other Junior College offers. In¬ cluded in group activities are games, hockey, basketball, baseball, soccer, and volley ball. Individual sports are archery, clogging, golf, riding, swim¬ ming and tennis. The latter hold more interest and these classes are filled to their capacity. This year an experimental system of Co-Educational sports was in¬ augurated, but the results were not quite as successful as the gym in¬ structors had hoped. However, as such an experiment takes time to de¬ velop, it is expected that more en¬ thusiasm will be shown next semester. This plan for both men and women participating together in a sport was used in a special group including tennis, golf and riding. On May 25, the College of the Pacific at StQckton was host at the annual Triangle Play Day. The two guest colleges completing this triangle were Modesto Junior College and Sacramento Junior College. The theme for this year was The Olympiad MISSES THOMAS, FINCH AND GRASS COMPOSE THE TRIUMVIRATE REIGNING OVER THE W. P. E. D. of 1936. The women were divided into squads representing countries and competed against each other as national units instead of schools. Basketball, baseball, archery, tennis, and volley ball were on the miniature Olympiad list and the competition was greatly enjoyed. Miss Catherine Thomas, graduate of the University of California, is an active leader in encouraging the participation of students in Co-Educational Sports. Her specialty, however, is badminton. Besides tutoring interested students in the art of this recently popularized sport, Miss Thomas conducts classes open to all and women in Sacramento. Miss Donaldine Grass, secretary of the W. A. C., is a graduate of Grinnell College, Iowa, and the University of California. She aids Miss Thomas in inculcating true coed sportsmanship and chooses riding as her favorite athletic pastime. Miss Lorna Finch, also a graduate of the University of California, completes the Womans Athletic Staff. She replaced Miss Verrel Athene Weber as a Physical Education Instructress at the beginning of the fall semester. She likewise undertakes a third share of the athletic department ' s duties and prefers archery to other feminine sports. Page 123 Lais.
