L A C U M I3 IQ If COACH HAL DAVIS Before Hal Davis came to Santa Barbara State, there seemed little anticipation of possible member- ship in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. At the end of his second year as Coach of Men's Athletics and head of the Physical Education department he succeeded in having State accepted. This last year witnessed a most successful football sea- son, losing only one game. On his own initiative, Coach Davis had Pershing Park equipped with floodlights, thus making it possible to run night games and track events on a paying basis and affording valuable publicity for Santa Barbara State. Coach Hal Davis is a man of untiring effort, un- failing foresight and splendid executive ability. His popularity in the community and on the campus is a tribute to his magnetic personality.

The referee's whistle-a signalling wave from Captains Johnson and Dickey and Fred Imes sent the pigskin sailing through the air. The 1930 football season was on! With only two weeks' practice to their credit, the Road- runners were facing a powerful member of the Southern California Conference. In the second quarter Cal Tech scored with a touchdown made by Dickey, but the conversion failed. The Engineers did not score again but they fumbled on their own 30 yard line in the last quarter. The Roadrunners recovered, made their first down, and after the third attempt, Kessler tied the score to the tumult of the bleechers. Trimble CALIFORNIA CHRISTIAN COLLEGE Pounding against a line of equal ability, smashing through tackle, diving over center, driving the Cal Christian team the length of the field and being driven back themselves, the Roadrunners took the long end of the 7-0 score only after hard fighting, State made their gains on teamwork, with Army Kessler always good for advances over centerg Treloar and Hickman did the packing on re- , verses and end runs, Barnett and Ha- berek were strong on the line. State scored in the last five min- utes of play when she recovered a 1 gg p V 5, blocked punt on Cal. Christian's 35 ilgf yard line.
