PC Athletic Director Plans Survey Tour Ward G. Myers, athletic director of Palomar College, has been named chairman of a statewide study of senior and junior college curriculum in physical education.

The main purpose of the project, Myer explained, is to obtain better coordination among junior colleges in the physical education competencies with which their students will be equipped when they transfer into senior college programs for major or minor studies in this field .

"We hope, through this project, we can obtain a uniform basis of standards in teaching, grading and course offerings," he said. "We are also striving to equip students with the carryover benefits from their physical education and recreation courses.

"These courses will benefit them the rest of their lives in both individual and team skills, in appreciation of sports and physical fitness, and even as more knowledgeable spectators of sports events," Myers said.

Mr. Myers pointed out that the study would include reevaluation of previous data collected in this phase of junior college teaching. A past problem, he said, was lack of coordination and communications among the various colleges, resulting in varying degrees of the levels of competencies their students carry into their junior and senior years of advanced studies.

Myers added that the findings of the state survey would be compiled into detailed recommendations for submission to the Junior College Division of Health, Physical Education and Recreation at the annual meeting in March.

All students who are 21 years of age or under and who are enrolled for more than eight units of academic work are required (Continued on Page 2)

TEAMMATE SEES WRECK

A teammate of Serrano on the Palomar track team, sprinter Dave Wilkinson of San Dieguito, was three cars in back of Serrano's when the fatal accident occurred.

Serrano's compact car apparently had a blowout, Wilkinson reported, and swerved into the opposite lane in front of onrushing traffic, where it collided with two other vehicles.

The impact of the crash snapped the seat belt Serrano was wearing and threw him

Board of Trustees Passes PC 1 s Housing Regulations Rules Approved by Administrative Council, Made Effective Immediately The Palomar College Board of Trustees approved the student housing regulations which will go into effect immediately.

The Administrative Council had · approved the rules earlier in the day. Any questions regarding any phase of student housing should be directed to the Student Personnel office. A list of these regulations appears below.

(1} A single student who does not live with his family in the area served by Palomar College is required to have the approval of the Dean of Students for his off-campus accommodation.

(2) The Student Housing Office maintains a list of approved rooming and boarding houses which have been inspected and meet the college housing standards. This list will be made available to interested students in the Office of the Dean of Student Personnel.

(3) Students select these

must personally accommodations.

Housing agreements are between the householder and the student and his parents or guardian and it is , expected that these agreements will be adhered to by all parties concerned.

(4) A Residence Card must be sent by a MINOR student to the parent for signature, indicating approval and all students must have a Residence Card endorsed by The Dean of Students.

(5) Students seeking exceptions to the housing rules should petition the Student Housing Committee before September 1 for the fall semester and before January 15 for the spring semester. Exceptions will usually be made for students from outside the United States who arrange to live with sponsoring families, for those requiring special arrangements because of health or physical handicap, and for those provided with residence in connection with employment.

(6) Registration may be denied or cancelled for failure to comply with these regulations.

Speaker From Seminary Hosted By Newman Club Is there such a thing as a Catholic view of fiction? Is there such a thing as Catholic literature? The answer to these questions is emphatic no, according to Father Benedict J .

McCormick, featured speaker of the campus Newman Club.

Father Benedict spoke on the topic "A Catholic Look at Modern Fiction", last Wednesday in the Science building, room 7.

Stressing the point that a Catholic should approach religion with no special moral standard, Father Benedict said, "Remember that good fiction is art - something to be rever-

Former PC Track Star Killed In Auto Collision Requiem mass was held last Wednesday in Santa Ana for Jess Serrano, 21, former Palomar College track and cross country captain who was killed Nov. 15 in a three-car accident on rain-slick Highway 101 near Del Mar. Serrano, South Central Conference champion in the mile last Spring and the top-ranked cross country runner in the conference a few months earlier, starred at two schools before corning to Palomar.

He was Sunset League mile champion at Santa Ana High School and an outstanding middle distance runner for Santa Ana College.

from the car. He was killed instantly.

Palomar athletic director Ward Myers and track coach Joe Brennan attended the athlete's funeral along with four of Serrano's track teammates, Torn Saxe, Ron Graf, Dick Robertson and Bill Donahue. Torn Van Zandt also was present at the services.

Saxe was co-captain with Serrano during cross country season last Fall.

The day prior to the accident, Serrano visited the Palomar campus in the capacity of salesman of Mexican foods .

TALKED TO COACH

At that time he spoke with Brennan and several of his former teammates for the first time since the Spring.

He said he · was planning to attend Denver University on a full track scholarship next semester. Serrano was working during the day and attending school at night this semester.

Serrano also had scholarship offers from University of California at Santa Barbara and Idaho State.

Serrano is survived by his wife, Carol, both parents and 12 brothers and sisters. He was a native ofEnsenada, Mexico.

enced; like all the fine arts it is a reflection of Christ. And the fine arts may be analyzed and evaluated only by educated and discriminating readers. Too often good novels are condemned by "pious Catholics" without sufficient knowledge of the norms and definitions that make up fine literature."

Defining the novel, Father Benedict stated, " It is a symbolic presentation of an attitude towards some aspect of human experience." He stated further that like all art, a novel deals with the "man in action" of Aristotle, the man corning to know himself through the "epiphanies" of James Joyce, and a·s the result of internal and external conflicts.

"Of all literary forms, the novel has the most 'lifelookness,' and it is the most realistic. Of itself, this proves nothing," he continued, "Real life, man's day-to-day existence, can be boring and full of chronic inconvenience."

Discussing the morality of the novel , Father Benedict quoted Father Harold Gardiner's Mor.a l Norms : 1. Judge the work and not the author's private life, 2. A few minor flaws do not spoil the whole work, 3. Sin must be recognized for what it is, 4. Sin must not be so spelled out that it can disq'~iet the mature reader.

Father Benedict cited\ four books as "Immoral N ov'els": MICA WBER IN DAVID COPPERFIELD " because his ultimate success belies his nature," Greene's THE QUIET AMERICAN, " because all Americans are depicted as fools ,'' Steinbeck's WAYWARD BUS , " because all the characters are cardboard in stock situations,'' and PEYTON PLACE, "because the sin is detailed for its own sake. These are examples of denials of life's truth by oversimplification, or by denying life's agonies and pitfalls. " "Beware of novels which are 'pleasant' and 'not full of grier and have 'inspirational' plots and heroes,'' he warned, "Re(Contin ued on Page 2)

pangs of hunger ... and growing pains

by Tom Gable THANKSGIVING DAY, USA, (a typical household)- Delicious odors of cooking turkey and brussel sprouts are drifting through the house. Mother and grandma are in the kitchen, making final arrangements to serve, while dad and grandpa sample the cooking sherry. The children of the household are getting their clean clothes dirty while they run in and out of the kitchen. The family dog is" cowering in the corner, going out of his mind anticipating the leftovers. Then disaster strikes.

"Get your fat little fingers out of the mashed potatoes before I send you to bed without any dinner," screams mother. The young· ster, caught in the act, wheels around to confront his tormenter and immediately knocks a bottle of salad dressing off the table with his elbow. After hearing the crash and watching the contents drip along the wall , he lets out a screech of terror and flees from the room.

FRENCH DRESSING ON THE WALL Mother, meanwhile, has fled for the mop. She comes back, scowling, and proceeds to clean up the french-dressing-orange that now decorates the kitchen floor and part of the wall. Finished with the chore, she stands up and walks part way out of the kitchen.

"Honey," mama yells down the hall, "Come here and give me a hand with the carving." Dad hears her and grudgingly pulls himself away from the bar and meanders toward the kitchen. He goes through the same ritual every y-ear and knows exactly what to expect, ten stitches in his left hand. \ Grandad, being sneaky, has unobtrusively made his way into the den and is watching a football on the television. His wife, dear old grandma, is in the kitchen getting on her son-in-law's nerves, kibitzing over the general activities of the goings on.

The children have just spilled the applesauce that mother asked them to open and have run into the bedroom. The dog is drooling.

LIGHT THE RUG ON FIRE By this time, grandpa has lit his pipe, invariably spilling tobacco all over his shirt and in his drink, and is happily puffing away while the rug catches on fire from a dropped ash. By now he doesn't really give a damn, so he just pours half his drink onto the floor to douse the blaze.

Dad has cut his hand while carying, evoking every filthy epithet he can think of, and has dripped blood over the whole turkey, the mashed potatoes, and, to the children's delight, the squash.

The dog, seeing things brighten up in his behalf, starts chasing his tail and knocks over a lamp. Grandad has passed, fallen out of his chair, and is laying in quiet repose on the burned and wet carpet. Grandma has washed her hands of the whole affair and has joined dear old dad at the bar. Mother has chucked the turkey into the trash and is now scrambling eggs for the youngsters.

FILTHY, TIRED, AND FIGHTING The youngsters don't care what they eat, they are just hungry, and hoping that at least dad didn't spoil the pumpkin pie. By now, they are all filthy, very tired, very irritable, and have just started a typical "you hit me but your bigger so I'll hit the little instead of you " fight. Pandemonium breaks loose.

Mother has just taken four Miltowns and couldn't care less. Dad is inebriated and grandma has just joined her husband , passed.

Suddenly the little kids notice that they are no longer being watched and shouted at, so they shut up. One by one they look in amazement at the limp forms of their elders. Sweet old grandma has risen off the floor and is making a direct beeline for the powder room. Father has already gotten biluous and mother is singing "Oh Come All Ye Faithful". · The dog, feeling cheated that the turkey has been put into the trash, is now standing on the dining room table eating pie, cranberry sauce, and brussel sprouts. He goes unnoticed and, upon glutting himself, climbs down, runs into the bedroom and jumps on the bed for a nap. He cuddles up to the pillow, rolls over, getting comfortable, an.d then goes to sleep and dreams of Christmas. Thanksgiving had been good.

FRANK ORLANDO SAYS

Hostile Females Rout Reporter I had a nightmare the other night. I dreamt I was at school and it was lunch time. I decided to eat my midday meal in the student union. As I walked through the sliding glass door, I was confronted with a wall of noise - every imaginable sound greeted me.

After bracing myself, I entered "where angels fear to tread," and sought a seat. I hasten to add that this was no easy task, for if I was fortunate enough to find a seat, I found that people had mistaken it for a garbage can and had carefully and evenly distributed the major portion of their lunch on it. I found however, that once I had seated myself, my position was in the direct line .of fire of two warring groups of students emersed in an artillery battle.

I finally gave up ducking at two second intervals, and decided to move to a less hostile part of the stu dent union. In this action I found a great deal of difficulty, for students had strategically placed their chairs so that the shortest distance between two points was not a straight line, but a series of ninety degree turns.

I vainly looked for a space that was not littered with sweaters, textbooks, lunch trays, notebooks or empty lunch sacks. Deciding to be aggressive, I sat down in front of a section of the table where a lunch tray lay in chaos. (I had taken a clean chair with me from my last combat observation point). Shoving the lunch tray aside, I set my lunch beg on the table, and prepared to eat. "Whadda ya, some kinda wisenheimer?" the girl who had become the new owner of the tray, next

to me snarled. "for two cents I'd bop ya wid me book?" One of her girl-friends, no doubt wishing to see blood, offered her a nickel.

Thanking her girlfriend while counting out three cents change, my antagonistic neighbor picked up her world literature book {which police should consider a deadly weapon) and prepared to enable me to see the galaxy in all it's splendor by "bopping me wid her book".

I certainly did not wish to disappoint her blood thirsty friend, nor disturb the commercial transaction that had occurred, but I had no particular interest in the galaxy at that time, nor the method by which I would view it. So I ran. Stumbling and trembling with an ungodly terror, {that kid looked as if she could operate a jack-hammer with the best of them) I managed to burst through to the relative freedom outside the student union.

Upon an ominous growling from my stomach, I discovered that I had abandoned my lunch in my haste to save myself from the clutches of the feminine version at Attila in the student union. Not knowing what else to do, I cried.

And thats how I woke up, with tears coming out of my eyes and saliva from the corners of my mouth.

A shower and a good breakfast cured both my ailments, but I wondered as I left for school if something like that could happen at Palomar. "No", I said to myself, "not at Palomar."

STUDENT COMMENTARY

Quintuplets Four Olives And An Onion

By NICK KREMER A "Quintini"? Unbelievable but a fact. The "Quintini" is the featured drink at a bar on Main Street in Aberdeen, South Dakota. A quintini is a double martini with four olives and a pearl onion. The symbology is plain: four olives for the four girls and one onion for the one boy. It is but a part of the circus atmosphere surrounding the birth of the Fischer quintuplets at Aberdeen.

During the first week of this month the city sponsored a celebration commemorating the first month of life for the quintuplets. The hour-long parade featured bands, floats, special guests, a 300 pound birthday cake pulled by a tractor, and no less than five pink polka-dotted Volkswagens wrapped in blue ribbons. All of this gaudy fantasy was supposed to be in honor of the Fischer family.

Among the smiling onlookers were politicians, the press corps, and novelty manufactures. The Chamber of Commerce officials looked on with Chamber of Commerce smiles, and the streets were lined with 20,000 people who got some unimaginable vicarious pleasure from watching the spectacle unfold.

ANXIOUS WATCHING, HOPING, WAITING The nation followed the birth and first day's struggle for life of the quints anxiously. The nation celebrated when the critical stage was passed. The nation has accepted the subsequent circus without comment. I for one think this deserves a re-evaluation with at least some tendency toward sanity.

In that short month's time between the quints' birthday and the celebration the family has been showered with hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts, thousands of cards and letters and the family has been made a national institution by the communications media.

The hundreds of gifts which the Fisc hers have received have ranged from shoes for the children to hay for the cow. Other gifts have included practical items such as college scholarships and some grants of dubious value such as a fur trimmed coat for Mrs. Fischer.

GIVEN A NEW $100,000 HOME Within the next year the family will move into a new $100,000 home to be built by a grateful Chamber of Commerce. The Andrew Fischer family has taken a sudden leap in living standard. Only time will tell how this once simple, unassuming family will react to it's sudden wealth. After 50 days Mr. Fischer has yet to return to his job as a shipping clerk. He is. he tells us, too busy.

The quintuplets will never be allowed to live a normal life. They will be the center of attention. They will never be able to fail in school, get in trouble, or break an engagement without facing the gasps of a nation. The point is, they have not asked for this publicity or this public responsibility as a starlet or politic ian has asked for it. ~ In considering the effects of the attention due to the multiple birth, one cannot help but recall the Dionne Quintuplets. The sudden wealth the family received went to their father's head. He controlled the gifts given to the quints and tried to control their lives. He sheltered them from the world.

CONSTANT ATTENTION, NO PRIVACY A recent article in McCalls describes the awakening of the quints to the real world. It discusses the terrible awkwardness of their adjustment to men other than relatives. Finally they complain of the constant attention the press pays them. The remaining four of the quints relate how often their private affairs are revealed by prying newspaper columnists. Inevitably, the more the Fischer Quints ·are idolized now, the less priV!JCY they will have in later years.

The multiple birth seems to have brought out the worst in people.

The Chamber of Commerce found the birth an excellent opportunity to put the name of Aberdeen before the world. They set up bill· boards on the main routes leading to Aberdeen suggesting that motorists travel only sixty more miles and see the birthplace of the Fischer quints. The Chamber sent every car leaving town flashing bumper stickers that heralded "I've visited Aberdeen, home of the Fischer Quints."

The city has found a great resource to exploit and on which to build its reputation. I can visualize the Chamber's stationery slogan: "Aberdeen: Quint City, U.S.A." MADE INTO A NATIONAL INSTITUTION The press made the Quints into a national institution. Television, newsreel and press cameras pried into every private nook the story offered. They reported plenty of trivia along with the facts. They made Mrs. Fischer so nervous that she preferred going through the multiple birth again rather than face a press conference.

Magazines were on the scene bickering for first rights to the family's story. LIFE magazine went home discouraged after the SATURDAY EVENING POST bought the quints' private life for $75,000. Two weeks ago the POST delivered the entire story to a nation of eager readers.

The politicians were there. They ranged from the mayor to the governor to the US Senator.

Each was there to associate himself with the birth of the quints. Each thought he could further himself among the voters by appearing as a part of the picture in Aberdeen.

QUINTUPLET BALLOONS, DECALS, ETC. Manufacturers of novelties are making thousands of dollars off of the quints. Medallions, balloons, decals, scarves, safety pins are all appearing on the novelty junk market. I'm waiting for some enterprising manufacturer to come out with this year's Christm,as toy sensation, not just one doll but a set of five smiling plastic faces.

What were all these men thinking of? Were they trying to ease the burden of the hospital expenses?

Were they simply trying to insure the future of the family?

Weren't all of these rather meeting their own · selfish goals? The Chamber of Commerce was seeking publicity for itself, attention for the city, and possibly attracting more commercial establishments. The companies donating goods and services were seeking to spread their products' good name. The press was filling its pages with material of minor rather than major importance in order to sell newspapers.

USED AS ATOOL BY POLITICIANS The politicians found it an excellent publicity tool. To novelty manufacturers it meant just plain money. To the public it was a chance to pour its attention upon someone unique.

Now the quints are four unwilling princesses and a prince to a nation of subjects. The population's curiousity knows no bounds. The people's actions know no ethical limits.

Society isn't made better by their actions. Its all rather dismaying and disgusting. Quintinis, 300 pound birthday cakes, and polka-dotted volkswagens. · What a circus!

Birth is a joyous occasion. A certain amount of celebration and pride should accompany it.

But this should be tempered with good sense and respect for the wonderful thing that birth is. This nation's population and its institutions bear the blame for this circus. I can only conclude that may heaven help our society if any woman ever gives birth to sextuplets.

Faculty Told JC 1 s Are An 11 American lnvention 11 The developme nt of t he junior college as a community institution of higher education is an "American invention" and the only type of school in this country not lifted bodily from early English and ccntinental patterns.

Dr. Howard Campion, of the School of Education, University of California at Los Angeles, pointed this out in a talk (Nov. 4) before the Palomar College faculty , one in a series that has brought outstanding educators to the college's in-service training program.

Dr. Campion , nationallyknown authority on junior college development, said this region of Southern California gave promise of becoming one of the most densely-populated sections of the nation, and that the facilities of the junior college would require continuous expansion to meet population needs. He gave emphasis to the junior college's special role in providing vocational education for students entering trades and various business employment. No other educational facility is designed to serve that specific and growing requirement, he said.

Dr. Campion was head of an American team of educators that was "loaned" to Chile to set up a junior college program in that country, and four such schools were established there under his direction.

Others who have addressed the Palomar faculty in the Fall series were Dr. John MacDonald, president, OceansideCarlsbad College; Dr. Alfred N. Livingston, coordinator of Junior College Programs, San Diego State College; Dr. B. Lamar Johnson, director Junior College Leadership Program, University of California, Los Ange-

Cagers Play Orange Coast Pagakis Reveals Determining Facts Of Grid Season

Gray Out As Comet Basketball Season Opens Here Friday

By VINCENT STREANO

By CHARLES HOADLEY

The Palomar Comet basketball squad is preparing to do battle against a rugged Orange Coast team, but is already facing the problem of losing men because of illness.

In reviewing the r e ce ntly completed 1963 Palom a r College football season, coach Chris Pagakis stated that he believed his football team didn't really get roll ing until the fina l three games of t he campaign_ "We started w ith a green team ·and it wasn't until our seventh game (San Fernando State JayVee) that the players arrived," emphasized Pagakis. Palomar walloped San Fernando 42-18, lost to Oceanside-Carlsbad 6-0 and outscored Imperial Valley 26-20 in the concluding three contests on the schedule.

Jim Gray, one of the Cornets' starting forewards , was taken to the hospital November 20 with appendicitis, and will not see action for another month. " We were counting on Jim very heavily," said coach Joe Brennan . " We especially wanted him to play these preseason games so he could get in shape."

Smith To Replace Gray

Taking the place of Gray will be Blair Smith who measures 6'4". Although Smith is two inches shorter than Gray, he is a very capable player and has a lot of spring according to Brennan.

Other starters in the Orange· Coast contest will be Torn Van Zandt at the other foreward spot, Fred Boyer at center, with Bob Crenshaw and J. B. Hollis playing the guard positions.

The Cornets did not face Orange Coast last season, but

Finish Third Again

Under Pagakis, the Cornets compiled a respectable 5-4 record which included the narrow loss to undefeated Oceanside-Carlsbad. In South Cen-. tral Conference play , the Cornets posted a 3-2 mark which was good for a third place finish. The third place performance was a repeat of the 1962 squads final ranking in the sec standings.

Pagakis also said that seventeen of the twenty-four athletes on the squad will be eligible next year. However, the Cornet mentor pointed out that he lost eleven . returning lettermen from last year's team befor e the 1963 season even started.

Injuries Big Factor

The Palomar Coach also cited injuries to key personnel as being a problem to the team all yearlong.

"Take Pete Sehouten for example," said Pagakis, " we never were able to exploit his tremendous pass receiving ability. " Schouten a highly touted end from Escondido, suffered wounds ranging from a broken hand to a severe hip pointer.

Inexperience Evident

The former all-Big Ten linebacker expressed that the inability of the Cornets to stop the opponents key third down play was his chief woe once his team took to the playing field . Pagakis attributed this to the unlimited inexperience which was present on the squad.

Looking ahead to next year, Pagakis indicated he was looking forward to the increased c-ompetition of the newly formed Pacific Southwest Conference. Nevertheless , the Cornet coach also believes that the returning lettermen will have to improve a great deal to · be able to handle the tough opposition.

Pagakis also revealed that he is searching for an outstanding quarterback to man his 1964 club. Bill Jenkins and Rick Rosental, a pair of fine signal callers for Palomar during the recent campaign, have used up their eligibility.

The red and gray will tangle with such teams as San Diego City College, Los Angeles Harbor College and San Bernardino Valley College next year. With such able mentors as Pagakis and his assistants Bob Bowman and Cecil MGeehee on hand, Cornet grid fans are not selling Palomar's chances short in 1964.

President Kennedy Was A Great Athletic Enthusiast

By Charles Hoadley Sports Editor: The Telescope

The political world is not the only body to feel the loss of our 35th president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

The late President was a great sports fan and was considered a true friend of athletics. President Kennedy was coimected with sports in many ways and formed the Council on Youth Fitness in order to further utilize the athletic development ·o f the American youth as a means to a broader life. · Influence Dramatic

His athletic influence on the people of the United States was so dramatic that thousands of Americans embarked on 50 mile hikes when the President described the importance of fitness gained by walking. Touch football, the President's favorite participation game, enjoyed a surge of popularity once JFK took office.

As an athlete, the Chief Executive set a memorable example of courage and determination.

Never able to make the varsity football team while attending Harvard, President Kennedy refused to quit and became a substitute end for the Harvard freshman and junior varsity squads.

He also was an accomplished swimmer and competed on the Harvard swimming team.

A Familiar Figure At Games

The President also was a familiar figure at many sporting events, particularly football games, his first love. President Kennedy rarely missed attending either the Army-Navy or the .

Orange Bowl contests. He also delighted in throwing out the traditional first ball in opening the baseball season in America. . JFK always emphasized that all people should play the game not just be a spectator. President Kennedy used the term game merely as an example. His message applied to life itself.

Palomar's wrestling team, seriously hampered by an acute talent shortage in the lower weight classes, recently began t raining for the rapidly approaching mat season.

Wrestling coach Chris Pagakis feels he has "good, solid boys" representing the Cornets in the weight classes above 150 pounds. "There is a strong need for lighter wrestlers," he related, but Pagakis encouraged all those interested to come out.

Grapplers figuring heavily in Pagakis' plans are heavyweights Tim Craig and Dick Burkett, Gary Eden, 190 pounds; Doug Arnold and Bob Dawson, competitors in the 170 pound class; Craig MacDonald, weighing in at 167 pounds; and former CIF finalists Dave Bengtston and Gary Smiley.

The Palomar rnatrnen will open season competition at the annual UCLA tournament, De: cernber 2. The next encounter listed on the presently incornpleted schedule will be the San Luis Obispo Invitational, January2.

Area Prep Tearns To Play In CIF Football Playoffs Undefeated Escondido High and Poway are the only Palomar College District high schools which ha v e not completed their grid schedules.

Escondido, which has piled up a perfect 9-0 record will take on powerful Kearny High School of San Diego on November 29 a t Balboa Stadium in the opening round of the SDCIF large school playoffs. The Cougars are defending SDCIF champions in the large school bracket and rule as the Metro League champs this year.

Poway, the . Palomar League titilist, will carry a 6-1 record into the small school playoffs against Marian H igh School of Imperial Beach. The November game at Poway will be the Titans' initial venture into the playoffs in the ir short history.

Both teams were slated to play their playoff openers last Friday night but the games were postponed as a result of President Kennedy's assassination.

the year before they defeated the Pirates.

"They are a much improved team over two years ago," said Brennan, " and I expect them to give us a very tough battle."

Pre-Season Title Favorite

There are many people who pick Orange Coast to win the powerful Eastern Conference championship, Brennan stated.

Playing center for the Orange Coast club will be ·Ed Lang.

Lang last year was an all-conference foreward. He also made all-conference in track at high jumping. His high jumping ability, along with his good shooting, will make him a big threat to · the - Cornets in the corning game.

Another outstanding player on the Orange Coast team is Bill Kellenberger. The 6'10" guard has always been a big threat to opposing teams.

Both teams apparently will play the game using. man to man defenses. " Most colleges use a man to man defense because there are so many good outside shooters it is hard to contain them playing . zone, " commented Brennan.

Outside Shooting Lacking

Unfortunately outside shooting is one thing the Cornets are lacking, Brennan feels.

Outside shooting is going to be a problem for us in the beginning, but I hope it will improve by the start of the con· ference games," stated Brennan.

After the Cornets play the tough Pirates, they have only one more game to get ready for their fifth Annual Palomar Invitational Tournament that will be staged December 5, 6 &7.

Top Teams Entered

Playing in the tournament will be four of the teams that were among the top 10 in the national ratings last year.

These teams are Riverside City College which placed first, San Diego City placed third, Palomar was seventh, while Coalinga was ninth.

Last year Palomar placed second in this tournament, being defeated by San Diego City 49-46 in the final game.
