Ventura is the smallest conference member. ln spite of this fact however, the Pirates have alwaystgiven a good account of themselves. This has been mainly true in football in which they have repeatedly defeated some of the strongest teams in the conference. The home games, played at night here, have always been well attended, and the crowds have been very enthusiastic. These factors have aided greatly in making Ventura football a success both athletically and financially. t page fifty-six

oothall N REVIEWING the i935-36 sports season, we find that Ventura went through the most succesful, year in her career as a conference member. This was particularly true in football in which Ventura won her first championship. The Pirates, coached by Joe Buckmaster and Ken- neth Shannon, gave an early indication that they would be serious threats to all aspiring champions. ln prac- tice tilts they defeated the Santa Maria and Taft J. C.'s., battled the powerful Black Foxe eleven to a score- less tie and' were barely beaten 2 to O by the free-lancing Compton team. The Buccaneers' first league en- counter was with Long Beach and ended without a score for either side. A week later, the Buckmastermen journeyed to Santa Monica to win that game l8 to O. The Pirates were not so fortunate in the nextntwo games. On successive week-ends they were defeated by Glendale 20 to O and by Pasadena 32 to 7. The final contest of the season with Los Angeles ended in a scoreless tie. . Upon investigation, however, it was discovered that ineligible players had been used by Long Beach, Glendale and Los Angeles, causing each to forfeit several games. This unexpected move lifted Ventura into the conference lead and brought home her first title. ln the play-off for the Southern California champion- ship, Ventura met the Riverside Junior College, winner of the northern division, on their field. In whatuproved to be the most thrilling battle of the whole year, Ventura lost i6 to l3, although there was no score made un- til the final quarter. After that final brilliant struggle, the boys put away their cleats for the season. r ' A As the crowning climax to an already enviable record, Al Young, end, Johnny Alberts, guard, Chuck August, tackle, and Ed Gallagher, fullback, were placed on the first string all conference team, while Charles Mclntire, center and captain was given the second string berth. V1 For the fine machine turned out this year, congratulations go to Coach Joe Buckmaster and assistant coach Kenneth Shannon. Buckmaster has served his third and final term at this institution. l-lis pleasing man- ner and smart coaching have made his reign here a very popular one. lt is with regret that we bid him good- by- , ur page fifty-five
