Several individuals, however, came through with sterling performances to win a number of first, second, and third places, ln the first meet of the season the Pirates were able to win one third place and three fifth places. Tom Donnelly placed third in the novice l00 yard dash. Com- peting against some of the best relay teams on the coast, the Pirate 440 relay team, composed of John Stewart, George Prentice, Tom Donnelly, and Bob Serey, placed fifth. ln a triangular meet with Glendale JC and UCLA frosh, Bob Serey was second in both the 440 and 220 yard dashes. George Prentice placed second in the mile and the two mile, and Bill Schneider and John Stewart tied for third place in the javelin throwing event.
