BOB PARR Warming up! Coach PAT PATTON 448 The weather annoyed everybody. Roads were flooded in the valley; in Oakland, houses slid downhill. At the Orinda Country Club the Cal golfers had to contend with the rain and, to make matters worse, the opposing squads. Pat Patton coached the boys along and expressed a belief that last year ' s record of two wins in nine ings would be bettered. He was probably right. The team boasted eight middle 70 golfers of about equal strength, although an outstanding par buster was lacking. The starting team was led by John Kerr, spoken of as the most consistent shooter on the team, and Bob Boldt, Lee Brunner, Jim Langley, Bob Parr and Dave Krutchoff. Bill Ingam and Jay DeBennedetti gave added competition for the six starting positions. Collegiate golf matches are determined on a basis of three points per individual match. One point is awarded to the player winning the first nine holes, one point for the back nine and one point for the total 18 holes. Using this interesting scoring method, the Cal golfers took a contest from Cal Poly and one from St. Mary ' s by the impressive score of to 31 2. But San Francisco State temporarily postponed further victory by winning the third match 16-11. LEFT TO RIGHT: Bob Parr, Phil Ralston, John W. Kerr, Jay DeBenedetti, Jim Langley.

Rugger Coach, MILES HUDSON Out of my way, please! rugb Last year ' s record of eleven wins, two losses and two ties makes it evident that Cal has one of the best rugby teams in the nation. Such schools as Yale, Harvard, MIT and Princeton lost to the Bears in ' 57. From this team eighteen lettermen returned to form the nucleus for the new squad. UCLA fell to the ruggers in the open- ing match 14-9 and again in the return match at Berkeley, 15-13. But the Bruins spoke well for themselves and for their new coach and indicated that all future games would be decided by close scores. Cal and the University of British Columbia split the first two of their four matches, 8-6 and 9-17. The two remaining games in Vancouver would determine the winner of the World Cup Series. Each year this Cup goes to the team scoring the most aggre- gate points in the four matches. The Olympic Club proved to give some trouble before bowing down 8-5. And in another contest, fullback Tom Trutner, accounting for eleven points, led the team to a crumpling 23-6 victory over Stanford.Then the world-touring Australian Wallabies came to town with their impressive string of victories. The match was to be played under International Rugby rules : fifteen, and only fifteen, players could be used with no replacements permitted even in case of injury. On the appointed Thursday afternoon the rain, mud and the Aussies defeated Cal 12 to 5. The Bears ' Coach, Miles Doc Hudson, is an interesting American-New Zealand combination. Born in this country, he lived in New Zealand for eleven years where he acquired his knowledge of the game. His record of eighteen years at Berkeley-128 wins, 33 losses and 10 ties—reveals how well he imparts his skill. IN FRONT (with ball): Frank 1 lattarocci.
