There is no doubt, that was as outstanding an aggre­ gation of football players as was assembled on the coast during the war years. Now, one college generation later.

FROM THE ALUMNI PRESIDENT To the Pacific Alumni: I wish to take this means to express my personal appreciation of the splendid cooperation given the Alumni Association at our recent Homecoming. It was one of the largest turnouts in Pacific History, and I am sure that everyone had a fine time. As you will recall, last year our Association was reorganized and a new plan of finance was set up. Most of the small colleges throughout the country are now using a system called "The Annual Gift Drive," in order to carry on their programs. Each year some worthy project is selected and the Alumni Association will attempt to finance the venture. The new Students Union Building, to be built in the near future, will need a fine student lounge, and we feel that this is a project to which we can give our full support. Today's Students wl" ')e Tomorrow's Alumni Members, and we want them to be aware of our presence and strength. . -p -r- , Many of us would like to contribute large amounts to racme s new building program, but because our resources do not permit this we hesitate to give smaller amounts. The Alumni Council feels that our drive meets this need and I am sure the response will be generous. I am ooking forward to our initial "Annual Gift Drive" being a great success, thanking you m advance for your cooperation, I remain, Yours sincerely, ROGER L. JACOBY, President Pacific Alumni Association. ALUMNI FUND PROJECT - 1948 - STUDENTS' LOUNGE

for the soon-to-be-building MEMORIAL STUDENT UNION BUILDING

The first annual alumni fund drive under the new finance plan for the Association was launched December 15, 1947. In thirty days, the first $1000 had been given. We must raise $25,000 to insure the success of this year's project. The ball is rolling. We will reach our goal if every alumnus will make a gift, no matter how small. Keep it rolling!

I want to make a gift to the College of the Pacific Alumni Association for the year of 1948.

West's top competition. The Bengals started well, whipping the ABL's Sacramento Senators in the opener, 46-43, and taking a strong Alumni team, 58-38, be­ fore running smack into Cali­ fornia. The Bears, frustrated by COP for 25 minutes, finished strong and racked up a 57-43 win on the strength of their height and a very fast break. The Tigers got back on the win trail, downing San Francisco State, 52-45, in Pa­ cific Pavilion, before bowing to highflying Santa Clara in San Jose, 56-46. In Los Angeles on December 19 and 20, Pepperdine and UCLA took the Tiger cagers into camp, 56-40 and 58-41. Both teams used superior height to great advan­ tage. Following the Christmas vaca­ tion, the Kjeldsenmen tangled with ABL champions, the Oak­ land Bittners, in Stockton Audi­ torium, and played their bast ball of the year. McWilliams, Proulx, and Wayne Hardin shot well as the Tigers were nosed out, 60-55, m as exciting a game as has been played in Stockton in years. 1,600 fans left the auditorium talking to themselves after that one.
