Good Crop Of heserves.

Pete Newell, who assumed the
Bear reins from the retiring
Nibs Price, isn’t hurting for
height nor talent elsewhere
either. Reserve forwards Ev
McKeen and, Bert Matrov are
6-4. Second- j-lite centers Joe

team that won_seven of ten, and’
‘Al Asplund, Ventura J. C. trans-
fer, are 6-7 and 6-6, respectively.

A capable fleet of guards also
is available in Frank Hess, 6-2,,
who earned a letter as a|
sophomore last. year; Cliff}
Maynard, 5-11 senior; Gabe
Arrillaga, 6-3, who led last
eee s frosh on 157 points, and

ike Diaz No. 2 yearling scorer
at 151.

.Cal .pulled itself sharply into
focus over the week end when
it swept a 2-game series from
Colorado, the Big Seven’s de-
fending co-champion, which re-
turns every starter from a club
good enough to post a 10-2
league record last winter. Both
victories were achieved by 13-
point spreads, 57-44, and 59-46.

No Doubt of a Challenge.

If the Bears earn as much as
a split with high-flying Ohio
State tonight and tomorrow in
Berkeley, even. Missouri, easily
the league’s top club at this
writing, must recognize a severe
challenge. In addition to the
two victories over Colorado, the
Bears also defeated Oregon
State and Oregon on the road|
and St. Marys at home. They
bowed, 77-84, to C. O. Ps in
double overtime, for the lone
loss up to the Buckeye series.
