• Q AL OESIN MAURY DUNCAN GLTOEN MAYFIELD DAN CALDWELL JACK MORGAN BASKETBALL State ' s b.iskcib,ill team cinic close enoufjli to the Tar West- ern Conference championship to smell it, bill faltered in the stretch as the fates caught up with them. The Gator capers were off to a j loomy start when they lost their shooting ace, center Bob Leibe, due to an early- season ineligibility ruling. Coach Dan Farmer rebuilt and rounded the Gators into a winning team by the time con- ference games rolled around. Picked for no better than second place in pre-season pre- dictions, the Gators surprised in early season by handing a double beating to Sacramento State, league favorites. Had luck still followed the Gators, however, as they lost two more first-line men in the persons of guards Gene Busby and Robert Johnson. Undaunted, Farmer ' s quintet rolled over opposition until they acquired an 8-0 record in league competition. The Staters needed only to split two games with Chico State in the final week of the season to assure themselves of the crown. Dame Fortune finally caught up with the (Jators in Chico, and they dropped two contests in a row, 69-50 and 77-5 8. This necessitated a sudden death play-ofl game on State ' s home court, which the Gators lost in the waning minutes of the contest, 67-60. Senior center Al Desin entletl up as team high scorer with .194 points. Senior forward Glyden Mayficld was elected captain of the team, while freshman Henry Fort was voted the most improved pl ayer. Probably the least spectacular and most underrated mem- ber of the squad was senior guard John Uurton. Primarily a playmakcr, he had the best shooting percentage on the club. BACK ROW.
