The California Bears, due to
their pair of victories last week,
are now asured of at least a tie for
the Southern Division crown and
are a safe bet to win it in a breeze.
The Berkely lads need just one
more win in the remaining four
games to gain the right to play the
Northern Division champion. The
eight straight conference wins
chalked up by California is the re
sult, in large part, of the play of
high scoring Chuck Hanger and
Andy Wolfe. Hanger has a 15.4
average in eight games to lead the
Division in scoring.
Nibs Price’s Bears will have
i their golden opportunity this week
end when they host the UCLA
Bruins and Southern California in
Friday and Saturday night games
respectively.
The Trojans meet Stanford Fri
day, while UCLA moves over to
Palo Alto Saturday in the battle
of the cellar-’dewellers.

The forwards, Bartelt and Wil

Ernie Wilde, Bob Taggesell, Don

eight points.
The other 10-minute frays with
the frosh were also captured by the
