Pasadena, California, June 15, 1933
U . D . Gridiron Chances Are Up in Air
fX’ Equals
Lettermen
Returning
Crystal Gazer Needed to
Determine Veterans
Coming Back
WANTED — A capable prognosti¬
cator who can tell me how many
upper division football team next
lettermen I’m going to have on my
season. Apply Frank Baker, men’s
physical education office.
What to do in a case like this?
Ten lettermen of last year’s South¬
ern California championship eleven
eligible for another season of com¬
petition would cast a pall of gloom
about few football wigwams, but
Pasadena, it seems, is one of the
few. So, at least, says Coach
Baker.
Should Know
And he should know. Mr. Baker
will have the imposing task next
fall of moulding a grid machine
out of the ruins of a champion,
and he looks forward to it with
mingled anxiety and apprehension,
because, basing his assumption on
past records, he hardly believes
that more than four of the ten vet¬
erans will be on hand.
Yet, should all or at least a ma¬
jority of them return to the fold,
there will certainly be the makings
of another title-winning team, for
the group includes Ed Stark, star
halfback of the conference; his fel¬
low Oklahoman, Pete Hensley, full¬
back; Roy Gertmenian and Cliff
Deverian, first-string guards; co-
Captain Stan Riordan and A1 Lev¬
inson, tackles; co-Captain Henry
Aiwohi, quarterback; Max Hatcher
and Johnny Merrill, ends, and A1
Herbold, center.
Quite a Problem
It is problematical to figure how
many of these will be here. Cap¬
tain Aiwohi may return to his home
in the Hawaiian Islands, and
Hatcher may go home to Kansas.
Levinson ia tentatively figuring to
go elsewhere to school.
Generally there are several ex-
lower divisioners to bank on, but
who they will be no one can say. |
Among the possibilities are Walt]
Nollar, A1 Hoop, Ray Burby and
Bob Busby.
L. D. Batters
Win But One
Coach Bill Dunn’s lower division
baseball team drop]>ed out of the
first division of the Coast League
for the first time in four years last
season, when a band of willing but
inexperienced players bowed to ev¬
ery league opponent but one and
took last place in the final stand¬
ings.
Pasadena’s only victim w a s
Santa Ana, who succumbed to the
Bulldogs by a 10 to 13 score. In
other games the Pasadenans lost
to Glendale, San Diego, Long Beach
and Alhambra. Some kind of rec¬
ord was set by the nine at making
errors, 46 miscues being chalked up
against the Bulldogs during the
league season.
Keith Emberson, who will have
another try next season, pitched
commendably for Pasadena, but
suffered defeats to stronger teams.
Harry Acquarelli formed the other
half of the battery. Junior Parks
and Don Busik were the team’s
leading hitters, the latter banging
out three hits in the final game,
with Alhambra.

Only three veterans will return

j most the entire Coast league cham¬
pionship eleven is graduating,
J either from school or to the varsity.
Jimmy Ayers, quarterback, will

j Other two veterans are linemen,
j Armstrong and Captain Newton
I Cox, who played with the regulars
j last season.
Coach Leland C. McAuley will
j take up where he left off last sea-
! son. It will be remembered that
| he took over lightweight duties
I mid season in place of Carl Met-
ten, and piloted the Bees to an un-
j defeated Coast league record.
Although “Mac" will have to
build almost an entirely new team,
there will be plenty of experienced
i material from junior highs. Dan
i Neary, star of the “B’ team at
I Washington junior high last sea-
j son, will report for a half-back
post.
To replace the “old reliables of
| last year is expected to be consid-
j erable of a task. Among those who
j will not be back are: Wright, half;
j Terwilliger, half; Captain Don
Starrett, half; Busik, half; No¬
guchi, center; Wickham, end;
I Locke, end.
It is possible that Nor Jacqua,
one-time Pasadena football player
who coached the lightweight back-
field last year, will be back again
at these duties.

er Division Baseballers
Hit Snag; End Up in Third
Upper division baseball championship possibilities suddenly struck
a snag in mid-season when the Mastiffs, after winning three contests
in succession, dropped a listlessly-fought fourth game to Compton, and
| the final encounter to Long eBach.
Hero of every Pasadena confer-
J ence victory and most practice wins
was Harold Mitchell, outstanding
pitcher who won upwards of 25
games and had the phenomenal sea¬
son average of better than .900.
Despite the two conference defeats,
the Bulldogs had a composite bat
ting average of close to .300.
Captain Lews Brantley, center-
fielder, generally kept in the spot¬
light with his strong hitting and
tight defnsive play. Another stand¬
out was Emmett Tomerlin, catcher,
U.D. Quintet
Not So Good
Upper division basketeers were
not nearly as successful as their
gridiron cohorts, the Mastiff court-
men winning only one of their six
conference contests. However, the
Pasadenans succeeded in placing
one of their number, Bob Levinson,
on the mythical all-conference
Lower Five
Takes Fifth
Faced with a dearth of experi-
(-need material at the beginning of
| the season. Coach Bill Dunn mould- j
! ed a workable lower division var- !
sity quintet which eventually wound ;
1 up the Coast league grind in fifth
place.
In the first league game, with
Alhambra, the Bulldogs were nosed
out 24 to 23, but came back strong-
in the next contest to defeat Glen¬
dale decsively, 34 to 24.
Two well-matched teams, Pasa¬
dena and Santa Ana, met in the
third tilt. Pasadena finally won
in an overtime tussle, 37 to 34.
Pasadena was host to San Diego
in the fourth and fifth games, win¬
ning the first, 31 to 23, and drop¬
ping the second, 34 to 30.
Pasadena’s hardest victory came
over Alhambra, by a 20 to 17
count. Miller, Jaysee guard, was
especially effective in this contest.
Suffering unaccountable reversals
of form, the Bulldogs dropped then-
last four games to Glendale, Long
Beach, Santa Ana and Long
Beach. Balm to these wounds,
however, was the Bulldog victory
over Muir Tech for the city cham¬
pionship. Captain Forrest John¬
son stood out in this encounter.
Lost to the team are Goiiby,
Vines, Johnson, Geddes, Hoop and
Matter. Players who will return
are Vic and Bob Layng, Bob
Wegge, and Harold Miller.
team.
Pasadenas decisive win over Van-] who will lead the team next season,
tura gave rise to the belief that) As a whole the team was a vet-
the Bulldog team would provide eran nine, but several of the play-
plenty of competition for other ! ers may return to the fold next
fives, but as the season went on it
became apparent that there was not ]
sufficient all-around strength toj
cope with other teams.
Besides its lone victory, the Mas- 1
tiff’s most notable performance was
against the powerful Los Angeles
team, when the Cubs were held to
a seven-point max-gin. Long Beach
again defeated Pasadena, but Fiore
of the Crown City five ran away
with individual honoi-s of the game.

McGrath, first baseman, and Har¬
old Coseby, shortstop.
Others who played regularly dur¬
ing the season were Stanchfield,
third base; Gwynne, second; Fite,
left field, and Pearson, right field.
NED THOMAS
He won the appellation in the
caption by snagging numerous
passes as an end on the lower
division varsity. He’ll be back.

Forty Stalwarts Out for
Spring Drill Sessions
Bolster Chances
Coaches John Thurman and Carl
Metten ai-en’t going to fool them¬
selves or anyone else about the
potentialities of the 1933 lower di-
I vision football team. They’ll let
the future take care of itself.
Meanwhile they are almost cer¬
tain to have seven varsity and five
lightweight letterman of 1932 i-eady
for service when px-actice starts
next Septembei-. This much they
were assured of during the three-
weeks’ spi-ing pi-actice concluded
recently.
Team to Beat
No less important is the fact
that 40 stalwarts appeared regu-
larly for practice, lending addition¬
al cx-edence to rumoi-s that the
lower division will be the team to
beat in the Coast league. On the
basis of past pei-foi-mance this is
no idle boast.
Fui-thei-more, of the seven var¬
sity veterans, all of whom are ex¬
perienced, three are backs, two are
ends, one is a centei-, and the other
a tackle. They are: Captain Ward
Nollar, the tackle; Ned Thomas
and Bob Wegge, ends, and Red
Cotton, Bob Layng and Carl Scalzo,
backs.
From Lightweights
From the championship light¬
weight football team thex-e will be
Harry Acquarelli, quarterback ;
Johnny Cosso and Frank Wickham,
ends; L. E. Wright, halfback, and
Aram Rejebian, tackle. Putting
seven and five together, the com¬
posite total shows five backfield
men, two tackles, one center, and
four ends.
Cosso, heretofore something of
an unknown quantity, suddenly ap¬
peared in the limelight during
spring practice by winning the all-
a round competitive championship,
for accuracy in passing, distance
and accuracy in kicking, and speed.
Backfield
О.
K.
With backfield troubles appar¬
ently out of the way, the real prob¬
lem seems to be concerned with the
line. But this bothers Coach Thur¬
man less than the factor of condi¬
tion, which he believes will play as
large a role in the success of the
eleven as team co-ordination.
Both coaches expect a record
turnout in September, inasmuch as
the spring turnout was a sui-prise
to all concerned. In previous years
the fall list rarely exceeded 40,
and on account of available mate¬
rial they ai-e placing many of their
hopes in numbers.
Lighty Court
Year Success
Success of the lightweight bas¬
ketball team was another tribute to
the coaching tactics of Leland C.
McAuley, whose Class
В
five ran
up a string of eight consecutive
victories to take undisputed cham¬
pionship honors of the Coast league.
Chiefly responsible for the re¬
markable record of the Bullipup
team was Captain Bob Galbraith,
who was probably uneaqualled any¬
where in Southern California in of¬
fensive play. Galbraith, high-point
man in nearly every game, was
generally followed closely behind by
Don Busik.
Pasadena came as close to win¬
ning the Southern California title
аэ
any team possibly could, with¬
out actually capturing the cham¬
pionship, the Bullpups being de¬
feated in the Southland final play¬
off by Fillmore, by a margin of
only five points.
In the Southern California play¬
offs the Bullpups won over Muir
Tech and Santa Monica, and took
another victory over Tech for city
honors.

been awarded life passes to all P.
J. C. sport activities by the board
of representatives.

basketball and captaining the upper
division quintet in 1931. He also
won upper division football and
baseball letters. Lewis Brantley’s
outstanding achievement was in
baseball. He was awarded four
letters in that sport, captaining
the uppers this year and the low¬
ers in 1931. Brantley, in addition,
won letters for two years of light¬
weight basketball ami one of foot¬
ball.
