Williams, winning the Southern Section championship. The var- sity had a fairly good record, winning 67 per cent of their games, while the B's fin- ished with more lossesthanwins.TheAand B teams were coached by Paul Lathrop. The varsity started off the season with a bang, winning a pre-league invitational tournament held at the University of Cali- fornia at Davis. The rest of the year they played a hot and cold brand of basketball, winning four out of six league games. Mike Papin and Ernest Burton were the high scorers for the team with 224 and 219 points, respectively. After the high school league was over the varsity was reorganized and entered a tournament for high school teams in Vallejo. The B team, which lacked considerably in scoring ability, finished with a rather poor record. They were a fast squad and had a good defense but they played an in- consistent type of basketball. The high scorer for the. team was Bernard Keller with 178 points. The C team had a good record this sea- son, losing only two games out of 16. ln many of the games the score at the half time would be nearly even. But due to the fact that every member of the team was a potential scorer they would build up a good score in the second half to come through with a victory. They lost one game to Armijo but still won the Southern Sec- tion championship. The most disappoint- ing game of the year was when they met Davis for the County playoff and were de- feated by one point, an exact duplicate of last year. Molina was high scorer for the team with 132 points.

TRACK The track season started off with about 25 boys turning out for the flying sport. The practice sessions started off with a few of the boys run- ning the three and one-half-mile cross-country run. March 3, regular training started with a bang, and the boys were doing 15 minutes of exercises, running around the field and prac- ticing starts for the coming meets. This was the first year there was a track team of any reasonable size. We were fortunate to have a few boys who were experienced in the sport. C. Day ran the lOU-yard and 220-yard dashes, with B. Kennelly and C. Nulk holding up the distance end of the sport. There were many freshmen and sophomores out for track, and it looked like there would be a promising future. There were seven important meets this year which included the Winters Youth Day meet at Winters, three invitational meets, at St. Helena, Orland and Davis.

This year's baseball season got off to a good start with about 25 boys turning out for the prac- tice sessions. The majority of last year's letter- men also showed up for the after-school practice. This is only the second year, in about lO years, that there has been a regular baseball league. The new league included Armijo, Benicia, Bio Vista, Clarksburg and Vacaville. Plus the league games we had several prac- tice games with Vallejo, Esparto, Winters and Dixon. We were very lucky, this year, to have an experienced pitcher, E. Burton, and an ex- perienced catcher, R. Bruegmann, who were both lettermen last year. Among the other let- termen returning were V. Holshevnikoff, M. Wagner, C. Day, and B. Maupin. The league started on April 18 with eight games being played: four of them were at home, and it ended on May 20.
