Womensi Athletic Association The Women's Athletic Association, open to all women students on the campus, offers a diversified program of sport activities. These include intramural games for both individual and team sports twice a week throughout the year as well as teams representing the CaI-Aggies in competition with other college W.A.A. groups. The girls, traveling to Sports Days, participated in basketball, volleyball, swimming, badminton, tennis, archery and softball. In the fall the W.A.A. sponsored a swimming meet in which seven colleges participated. Co-Rec's, Picnics, Archery Club, and Picnic Day Float were some of the activities of the W.A.A. Under the capable supervision of MI! Aarya Welch the year ended with a dinner at which the officers for the coming year were installed and Sports Awards were given. - . wge-eequeem. .-....... .,. ..-,,v.,u., Ai-e -.. .a-I; - Iv. .A

ML . , V V . . M4: BACK ROW: C. Downing, J. Thomas, L. Darling, Coach John Blake, 0. Paul, F. Stetson, J. Totten. FRONT ROW: J. Penton, A. Leck, B. Sparks, D. Frol, M. Lawson. Wrestling Coach John Blake's wrestIing team had a very successful year which ended with Jack Darling winning the Pacific Coast A.A.U. 191 pound title in the P.C.A.A.U. at San Francisco. Hampered by the lack of depth, the squad was able to win few matches, but all shows were marked by brilliant individual performances. Early season injuries caused later season bouts to be lost because of forfeits in the weights. The season was started at San Francisco State with the Aggies coming out on the short end of a 20 to I4 score. Winners for the Blue and Gold were Sparks with a fall, and Leck, Totten, and Darling winning by a decision. Next was the Novice Tournament in which both Sparks and Totten advanced to the semifinals before they were defeated. In a home match the Aggies tied Santa Clara, II to II, with Leck winning on a tall, while Sparks and Totten gained decisions. In a return match with San Francisco State the A95 gained revenge by a 20 to I3 count. Getting points for the Mustangs were Sparks, Downing and Darling with falls, Totten with a win by decision, and Leck with a draw. In a match with the University of California from Berkeley the Aggies went down to a II to 19 defect. Providing points for the A95 were Darling with a fall, and Leck and Downing with decisions. In a return match at Santa Clara the Mustangs went down IO to 27. Lawson won a fall, with Leck getting a draw and Sparks winning on a decision. In the last match of the year at Berkeley with the University of California, the Mustangs took a crushing 27 to 3 defeat. Only winner for the A95 was Jim Totten who copped a decision. With a Ietterman nucleus returning for next years battles, the Aggies should be one of the stronger teams in the area.
