.,, A - aw... , u , 4.0.4. ..- --,-,m, i, FRESNO GAME After a short warm-up and with two recent defeats on their hands, the Coun- try Bear traveled to Fresno and had a hearty meal of Raisins. This game lacked features. There wasrft the thrills nor the sensations that usually prevail in the games. The condition and team work of the Varsity was largely responsible for the lopsided score by which the Farm won. The score was 37-28. Owing to the flu no return games were played. College of the Pacific With Coach Elfrink on the sick list Captain itHerbii Spilman, fresh from an operation on his foot, and Erb, the fast and furious forward, with shin splints, the ,Varsity met the College of the Pacific. Though handicapped the Varsity put up a creditable fight, and showed much superior offensive work, but fell down on the defense. The Vis- itors piled up a 7ep0int lead at the end of the first half and maintained it for the rest of the game. The game was close and exciting throughout, but the lack of condition lost out for the Farm by a score of 21-18. The footwork 0f Spilman and the skilled shooting by Gil- crease featured the game. Return Nevada Game The Country Bear upset the basket- ball dope by completely rushing the Sagehen team off their feet. With the largest rooting section of the season turned out to support the Varsity in the last game of the season the Farm spirit was manifest. The team was playing in top form with guards and forwards alike starring in scoring baskets. This was by far the best game from every standpoint that many had ever witnessed. Surprisingly few tries were made, and more passing resulted in situations whichiwere extremely in- teresting from the standpoint of the spectators. The Farm won 28-25. M SENTOUS REASE H HILL
