82 Water Polo Coach AI Irwin greeted a fifteen-man squad in- cluding four Junior College All-Americans this fall and prospects looked bright, but none could forsee the resounding success to be achieved by the team in ifs first year. The All-Americans; Pat Glasgow and John Van Cleave, guards; and Bill Leach and Bob Nealy, forwards, formed the nucleus of a powerful first year squad. In their first encounter the team leveled Cal Poly Pomona 22-6. From then on they fashioned a season7s record of fourteen wins, against four losses, earning them a high national ranking. One of the years highlights was a second place finish to UCLA in the AIl-University of California Polo Tournament. Forward Bill Leach was named to the All-UC First Team.
