Comets drop overtime game; face Saddleback tomorro Palomar wiil take a breather from conference competition Saturday when they play host to Saddleback for a single game starting a t noon. The Come ts ' Pacific SouthwestConferencerecord now stands 1-4 which places them in last place . Starting pitcher for Palomar in their c ontest with Saddleback is slated to be Don Nelson. Nelson, has a 1-0 record while hurling 15 1/3 i nnings. His earned run average thus far stands at 4.22, while he has yielded only ten runs on five hits and has struck out nine. "We gave ourselves a chance to win, but we just didn't come through," r eflected Comet coach Jim Clayton following Palomar College's baseball team's loss to San Diego Mesa, 6- 3, Wednesday. The contest was tied, 3-3, until the top of the tenth inning when the Olympians pushed across three big runs to take the game-winning 6- 3 lead. Clayton's remarks concerned the fact that the Comets had a runner on third in the seventh inring and had Comets as far as second in both the eighth and ninth innings. Coach Clayton feels that the Comets "played well'' in their losing effort against the Mesa Olympians. San Diego scored first as they tallied a pair of runs in the top of the third inning and another run in the fifth. Palomar scored all of their runs in the bottom of the sixth when Sam Oliva l ed off with a single down the rightfield line. He moved to second when Kevin Snider drew a base on balls. Mesa pitcher's throwing error allowed Gil Pumar to reach first safely and loaded the bases. Comet first baseman, Dan Gabbard, hit a slow roller to second base allowing everyone to move up one base and Oliva to score. This set the stage for Al Conley to collect his second hit of the game when he blasted a double down the leftfield line scoring Snider and Pumar. Dennis Melton, freshman left-hander, went the dis tance on the mound for the Comets as he held the Olympians fairly well in allowing six runs on 10 hits while striking out four.
Co et archers cap ure first
• 1n ournament
Despite foul weather and an e rror in the addition of point totals, Palomar's archery squad captured first place in the men's di vision of the two state archery tournament held here last Firday. In addition to the victory in the men's division, the women's squad and the mixed teams both captured third place in the ir respective divisions . A scoring error originally gave the men's division championship to San Bernardino Valley College. The official result shows Palomar the winnerwith4764 points to San Berdoo's 4700. Third place went to Arizona State Unive rsity. Women's division standings were ASU firs t with 3930, LA Pierce second with 3871, and Palomar third with 3870. missing second by only one arrow. The mixed team standings were San Bernardino first with 4522, ASU 4502, and Palomar third with 4241. High man for the tournament was Daniel Smith of Citrus College with 1274 points. Following him were Rich Hedlund of San Bernardino, 1223, and Fred Gamble , ASU with 1213. High woman was Ros e Swarc of San Bernardino with 1180 followed by Lucy Radike of Pierce with 1088 and Kirstie Kaiser, ASU, with 1082. The meet was held in a driving rain at times. Teams from throughout California and Arizona took part in the rounds that included Chicago, 60 yard, and minature Duryea events.
Comet trackmen compete
against Southwestern today The Palomar spikers take on Southwestern College on the local oval today, in their second conference contest of the year. The meet will begin at 2 p .m., and will determine whether the tracksters can continue their winning ways. Doc Marrin's Comet track team swept three events and won ten as they defeated San Diego City College l ast Friday, 97-48. The day started off right for Palomar in the first event-- the 440-yard r elay. San Diego City dropped the baton on the first pass, allowing the quartet of Dan Zukaitis, Tom Ries, Charlie Jett, and Ron Figueroa to take first place by 50 yards in 44.1. Pacing the Comets with 27 points was Tom Ries, who had a hand in winning five events. Ries' 14. 7-second time in the 120-high hurdles tied Palomar's school record, a mark set last year by Len Thompson. Completing the sweep for Palomar in the 120's were Mike Quirk and Len Thompson. One of the most outstanding marks of the day was set by Pancho Enriquez. Pancho recorded a 1:54 half-mile as he ran away with first pl ace in that event, beating highly- r egarded SDCC runner Orvin Romo . In the pole-vault, Mike Quirk, Jaime Casteneda, and Jim Moyer put together a sweep, defeating the City vaulters with 13-0, 12- 6, and ll-6, respectively.
Comet Don Tucker secured second place in the javelin and the shot put, then went on to hurl the discus 13 6 feet, 3 inches--good e nough for a first. An exhausted Mike Quirk and David Wasden came across the line in t he 440-yard intermediate hurdles for a l-2 finish, in 56.4 and 56.8. The meet ended the way it began. The Palomar mile- relay team of Dan Zukaitis, Ron Figueroa, Pancho Enriquez, and Tom Ries literally ran away from the competition, hauling in first place and a commendable time of3:27.4.

LffiERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor: The question has been asked , "was last Friday's meeting between t he Faculty, Admininstration and Students meaningful?'' The representation by the Faculty and Administration was very ood. On any other day under ideal condition" ther" probably would not hav be " "ive more members from the Fac;ulty. The Administration was out 1n force and at least half of the Board of Governo1 s were present. So to the Faculty Administration and the 13oard of Governors that were present, thank you for participating. There was estimated that there were two or three hundred students present. That certainly isn't the ma jority of the total enrollment. However, if the students on the Palomar campus are satisfied with two hundred and sixteen students electing the Associated Student Council to represent them, then the meeting was a success. At present Mr. Jackson and I are working on a report that will be published of the requests that were made at the meeting. One request was to set up a room where the students could discuss topics of concern on an informal basis . With a place to meet, maybe weekly, we would not have to disrupt a whole day of classes. Personally, I think that the meeting was necessary and meaningful. The participating members proved that a meeting can take place without breaking windows and the usual name calling. One newspaper reporter asked me when I was
