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.

VDLUME XI Kessler ' Davis C lt Cutler F Ill: k Tackle T ll Tackle LA VERNE COLLEGE Badly clawed and with feathers ruffled, Santa Barbara State's Roadrunner came to life with a start, near the close of the first half and glared about, indignant and angry. With a 6-0 lead the La Verne Leopard licked its chops and backed away for another charge. But in its anxiety to advance, the Leopard transgressed one of the cardinal sins of football by passing in its own territory, Tuffy Treloar promptly inter- cepted the pass for State, while the Roadrunner smoothed its Amd ruffled feathers, and pealed forth a triumphant war cry. In exactly four plays with Hickman and Treloar carrying the ball State scored. Thus began a game with the Roadrunners playing real football, with the team functioning as a unit. Treloar returned a Southerner's punt to their 28 yard line, while Greeson sent a 25 yard pass to Hickman who carried it over. Much splendid passing by Greeson featured the last quarter, netting two more touchdowns, with a conversion to make the 25-6 score since La Verne was success- ful for one recovery of a fumbled punt on State's2yard line. UN1vE1isiTY OF REDLANDS One single point to the Roadrunners swung the score to 7 against the 6 of the University of Redlands, A small but peppy band of rooters spurred on the Roadrunners when they turned mudhens and subdued the Bap- tists on a sloppy field. The wet pig- skin hampered the Southerners, aerial attack, as the ball slipped out of the t receivers' hands.
