The Pirates scored more points in this meet than in any other during the season, however, the 17 1-2 points they scored was not enough to give the team a place. The tri-county meet, held at Santa Barbara, was the next competition entered by the Pirates. Competition was what it amounted to, for the local boys were able to score only one point. This meet discouraged the team a trifle, but when it was time to compete in the count} 1 meet, they had regained most of then - con- fidence. This year Santa Barbara held the county meet. The Pirates worked hard to gain the 9 1-2 points they got from the meet, and under the circumstances the fourth place looked very tiood to Ventura fans. This completed a season for the Ventura track fans that was not marked by an abundance of success, nevertheless, the boys who participated for the Pirates gave the best that was in them, and we should be proud of them.

Coach Mathews and his varsity squad of tracksters suffered through one of the worst seasons the Ventura fans have yet witnessed. For the first meet the Pirates skipped up the coast to Santa Barbara where they entered the Santa Barbara Invitational Relay Meet. Points were not counted in this meet, but Captain Bob Steele tied for first in the high jump, rnd the Ven- tura two mile relay team copped a third in this event. The Russell Cup Meet was held at Carpinteria, and the Buccaneer Varsity was left in the cold, as far as collecting any points was concerned. A few Pirate entries qualified for the finals, but were not fast enough to place. The following week. Oxnard, Occidental Frosh, and Ventura arsity met in A Track Team First row. Coach R. Mathews, R.

The Pirate Babes started the season by encountering the Saints from Santa Paula. The 66-37 score denotes the easy time the Ventura boys had in defeating their Saintly rivals. Clean sweeps in both sprints started the Pirates on their way to victory, and they didn ' t finish the job till they had taken ten first places out of twelve events. The Pirates also shortened two County League records in this meet. Berg breaking the old 18 foot 9 3-4 inches broad jump record with a leap of 20 feet 5 inches.
