Boxing Myron Schall - Coach The Aggie boxing team had a rather unsuccessful year with the only bright spot being the performance of the team in the For Western Boxing Tournament at Chico. lniuries to key performers in the small but game squad caused the cancellation of four early season matches, and the year was one of outstanding individual performances rather than team performance. The first match of the season found the Aggie mittsters dropping a 7 to 3 decision to the Golden Gators of San Francisco State College. In the winnerg circle for the Aggies were Lechner, Richardson, and Niboli. The next match of the year found the Mustangs hosting Chico and dropping a 6 to 4 verdict.

J. V. Basketball The Junior'Varsity basketeers had a mediocre season from the winning standpoint, winning 5 while losing 6. In only the Grant Tech game however was the team completely outclassed, being administered a 59 to 28 trouncing. All of the other losses were in contests that were decided only in the closing minutes of the game. The team was noted for its ability to get up off the floor after being completely outclassed in the first half, and with a tremendous rally either pull up to within a few points, or take the lead. Typical of this second half comeback was the game played in San Francisco with the S.F. State J.V.'s. Behind by a score of 31 to 12 at the half the Aggies staged a great comeback to tie the score with less than four minutes to go, finally being edged out by the score of 53 to 50. The series with Chico found the A95 beating the northerners at Davis by a score of 40 to 26, but losing the return engagement at Chico by a count of 50 to 56. The Sacramento J.C. series was another one which the Aggies split, completely outclassing the Sacramentans by a score of 59 to 35 and losing by the narrow margin of 32 to 35. Splitting every series, the Aggie juniors continued the line by rolling over Sacramento State J.V. 49 to 38, and being edged by the opposition 40 to 43 in the return match. The S.F. State J.V. proved no different from the others, losing to the A95 by a 53 to 43 count, and nosing out the Aggies in the return by a score of 49 to 52. Playing a strong Yuba J.C. team, the A95 let them pile Up too large of a lead and lost 37 to 41 after making a great comeback effort.
