Robert Kgan, Bill Frank, Charles Brown, Ray Lewis and Richard Kellogg re- cently finished a fairly successful, though quiet season. In the prominent Ojai Valley tennis tournament, Ventura racketeers present- ed all their opponents with fine opposition. However, since keen competition is always met in this gala event, only one Pirate was able to survive the first round. Erwin Zander beat J. Anderson of Cumnock School 6 — 3, 6 — L but was then defeated by Seward of Beverly Hills, 6 — 2. 6 — 2, in a gruelling match. Charles Brown, another netman in the interscholastic singles division, met too L r d op- position in Knemeyer of Inglewood and went down 6 — 0, 6 — 0. while Richard Kellogg was also beaten 6 — 1. 6 — 3.

I El I. -I PI: 1 1 171 ■x ™- SI enthusiasm displayed by both teams was exceedingly keen, and when the meet was run off, both teams made the hardest battle possible of the affair. The light- weights led the Varsity by one point with the relay, the last event, yet to be run. The lightweight relay team was slightly crippled by not having Bowker to run for them. However, this is not being offered as an excuse for the Bee team ' s failure to conquer their big brothers. By getting defeated by a scant yard or so in the relay, the lightweights tasted their first defeat of the season in a dual meet. The final score was 54-50 with the Varsity team having the better of the argument. Much credit should be given the Bee boys for their fine showing against a Varsity team, when they were given no handicaps except in the shot put. With the splendid showing made by the Ventura Babes in all meets during the season, they were given a distinct edge on the County Championship, and favored to make a strong bid for the League title. As dopesters had things figured, the Buccaneers won the County title and placed second in the League. Santa Bar- bara won the League with 47 1-2 points, Ventura second with 29 1-2, Oxnard third with 19, Fillmore fourth with 16, Santa Paula fifth with 9, and Lancaster drew up the rear with 5 points. This meet also resulted in a number of League records being broken. Ventura boys to break records were Berg and Morrison. Berg leaped 19 feet 4 1-2 inches to break the broad jump record of 18 feet 9 3-4 inches. Morrison cleared the bar at 5 feet 7 inchs in the high jump to better the old 5 feet 4 inches record. The Buccaneer Babes were not completely satisfied with themselves after this meet for in practice Turner had broken the 120 yard low hurdle record, and Lambert and Captain Keith had both bettered the League pole vault record, and these boys had been favored to repeat their previous per- formances. In order to participate in the Southern California Championship Meet, the participant must take at least a third place in his event in the League meet. After the meet, it was found that nine Pirate tracksters had qualified for this meet. This was the first time in the history of the school that such a well rounded team was able to participate for Ventura in a big meet. h . %
