L A C U M I3 IQ If i f ,.., ' A . S f if A fmlfli alarm? WHAT FW! STAT BASKETBALL SEAS ON Prospects for a successful basketball season vanished during the Spring of 1931 when game after game brought home defeats. In justice to all one must remember that only seven eligible men started the varsity while thirteen finished. Only two of the men out had ever played together before, so the team suffered from lack of team play the whole season. Captain Fred Imes made up in fight and team leadership what he lacked in ability. Kessler Hnished 90? improved in abil- ity. Dornan made the most advance in playing, having never played before. Greeson was high point man in shooting. With the frosh material for next year, Coach Davis predicts a good season. All of the team will be back with the exception of Imes. Barnett, Kessler, Carl- ston, and Bruce are four year men, while Greeson, Hopkins, Denno, Brown, Tre- loar, Dornan, Romer, and Greenough complete the nucleus of next year's team. Lettermen this year were Captain lmes, Barnett, Greeson, Kessler, Hopkins, Denno, Carlston, Brown, Treloar, and Dornan. A brief review of the season shows games with La Verne, Menlo J. C., Red- lands, Lompoc Athletic Club, Hancock Aero, Cal Christian, Pomona. The only win of the season came in the game against the Hancock Aero. The best team- work of the year showed in this decisive win over the fast ball bouncers from the Hancock Aviation School, 39-32, before a capacity crowd at the Flying A. Kess- ler, Barnett, and Carlston added most of the score. A lead at the end of the half caused a let-down in the second half, but the Northerners were the underdogs through the whole game. The La Verne Leopards proved too tough for the Roadrunners and the big advantage lay in the fact that the first five were playing their fourth consecutive year together. What teamwork! By the time of the Menlo J. C. game even State had mastered that art of teamwork. Facing a team several inches taller to the man, H -,, e Staters were forced to play their best to keep up their end of the score. Pinky 44 gf' reeson started State's score in the second half and scored 20 to Menlo's 22. Gree- -Q n's playing showed fi marked imp rovement, especially his willingness to play team 1 sketball and excellentcshooting. Carlston, Treloar, and Barnett also worked well 5 fi scoring combination when working with Greeson. Army lasted ten minutes efore being removed for fouling, playing good ball while in the game. Imes and opkins showed up well as guards. S v, C . 4 if 3 A . x X 5 Page Tfwenty-Six
