Some of the old men far exceeded expectations and a number of new men turned in exceptional performances. Wright of the Sophs starred with firsts in the pole vault, low hurdles, and broad jump while Lutz took first in two events and tied in another. Herms, Warner and Clark each won two events; the 880 and mile, the 100 and 220 dashes: and the shot and javelin respectively. Williams copped the 440 and Leifrink won the two mile. None of the times were exceptional but for so early in the season very satisfactory to Coach McCorkle. Olympic Club Meet On March 29, the Aggies competed with the Olympic Club and were decisively defeated by the score of 97-20. The club, with their collection of stars, were a good deal too fast for our men and turned in some of the best performances recorded on our field. ttPetei, Bassford was the whole show for the Aggies, winning the high jump at 5:8 and taking second in both the hurdle events and tying for second in the pole vault. Wright, Warner and Michaud were the only other performers to break into the point column. As the Olympians only brought a limited number of entries, only the first two places counted. The Aggies derived a great deal of benefit from watching the work of such men as Merchant, McGurn, Norris and Boyden of the Olympics. Sacramento Junior College Meet , The meet with Sacramento Junior College was held on Saturday, April 5th. The Aggies succeeded in overwhelming their opponents by the score of 79 to 34. The meet was run off in a strong north wind so it was decided to leave out the hurdle races entirely. The relay was also left out as Sacramento did not have a team. ttDennyi, Dalton was the outstanding performer of the day winning the high jump, broad jump, and discus and taking second in the shot put, proving himself an all around athlete who will take many points this season. Other men Winning their events were Neitzel in the quarter mile, Michaud in the 2 mile, Wright in the pole vault, and Smith in the shot put. Lockhart of Sacramento ran pretty races in both the 880 and mile events.

This season the wrestlers did not have a flock of opponents as they did last year. Stanford has dropped wrestling from its list of sports, and the Aggie wrestlers had only one competitor, the University of California. The first meet of the season was held March 7 in the Aggie Gym, as a preliminary to the Boxing Meet, with U. C. ttScottyl, Harper upset all the dope when he pinned Captain Kramer of California. This was a big surprise to Captain Kramer and it showed what ttScottyfl the ttsmiling Scotchmanf, can do. Captain gtBillli Giddings, California Aggiek 145- pounder, pinned his man in his usual free and easy style. Gilmore lost a hard struggle to his opponent, Elliot. The California Aggies journeyed to Berkeley on March 15 for the return meet with the University of California, which was held in Harmon Gym. Three main bouts were staged, the Aggies winning all three, and one exhibition bout was put on, the Aggies losing thls to The Un1vers1ty of California. . . Gardner, the 125-pounder, was seen in action for the first time anfl successfully pinned his man in the first few minutes of the bout. Scotty Harper, l35-pounder, came through with another Victory by getting the decision over Elliot, the California man. Captain iiBlll .CxlddlngS, 145- poumler, won his match as was expected fromthe Callfornla inan, .Newby. Gilmore lost to Captain Kramer of the Unlvers1ty of California after a 11' i r . dilgllilgtlllzllifornia Aggie wrestlers would no doubt have been intercol- legiale clmmpions again if it had been poss1ble to hold more meets than were held. Plans are being made to meet more next season. t83l
