This state- ment is borne out by the fact that the Pirates won their first major meet in the history of the school. lt was close, The score was 67 to 64 and was an even battle down to the final event, In other meets, the Buccaneers were beaten by Pasadena, Glendale and Santa Monica. Leo Kibby, social science instructor and himself a for- mer javelin star, was the coach. Q In track this year, there has been a widespread increase of interest, The sport's past unpopularity has been blamed on the somewhat sluggish and slipshod fashion of running the meets, and it is predicted that with improved technique in management, track will gain a following that will rival that of football or basket- ball.

rep asketball ONTINUING a long and almost unbroken dynasty of basketball champions, Ventura once again copped the county cage title. With Joe Buckmaster at their helm, the Pirate crew had comparatively smooth sailing, except for one instance. This was when Oxnard caught the Pirates on her home court and trounced them 23 to l2. For the rest, however, the Preps experienced little difficulty. ln the first game with Lancaster they won 42 to 26. Then came Oxnard which was barely beaten 3l to 30. In the following two games with Fillmore, the Babes won 29 to 20 and 34 to l8. The next week saw the Oxnard deb- acle. After that the Pirates again hit calm water and in succession won two games from Santa Paula 39 to 22 and 33 to 25 and another from Lancaster 30 to 23. Because of that single disaster suffered at the hands of the Yellow Jackets, we found ourselves tied with them for the league lead. The deciding game was on the neu- tral court of Santa Paula where the Buccaneers convincingly won 50 to 22. ln the play-off for the Southern California Championship, Ventura traveled to Santa Barbara to meet their purportedly stronger rivals of the Channel City, in what proved to be the most exciting as well as the most disappointing contest of the whole season. The game supposedly ended 34 to 33 in favor of Santa Bar- bara. l-lowever, a discrepancy was discovered in the two score books. lt was claimed by Venturans that Suy- tar, lanky center, had not been credited with a field goal which would have made the score 34 to 35 in favor of Ventura. Officials were called in and after a conference annulled the contest, thus making the best of a bad situation. Because of advance publicity, it was decided that Santa Barbara should meet San Diego in the semi-finals, the provision being made that if the Gauchos won they would play Ventura for the Championship. They lost, however. And so ended the season for the Pirate Preps.

rep Track RANK ARNOl.D'S A and B Prep cinder stars were able this year to defeat Fillmore and San- ta Paula in dual meets. They lost one to Oxnard. ln a league meet the high-schoolers fin- ished behind the Yellow Jackets and the Cardinals and ahead of the Flashes and the Desert Rats. ln the A division, Jack Orton, Don Phillips, Tom Donnelly and Bob Cowger were outstanding. Orton won the county pole vault and Phillips the county football throw. Donnelly, an eleven, looked well in the dashes. l-le showed penty of potential ability. To Cowger, miler, goes credit for being the most improved ath- lete of the season. There were two prominent B's, namely Edward Austin and Don Bartlett. Austin was a leading sprinter. l-lad he not suffered a sudden attack of influenza during the league meet, it's outcome might have been different. Two of the most versatile performers of either division were Steele and Bartlett. The former won the inter-campus meet of the A's, while the latter accomplished the same feat in the B divi- sion. To Mr. Arnold go congratulations for the efficient operation of the meets. The? smooth running will go far in popularizing the sport, Schedule of dual meets: A's B's Ventura d.
