Santa Cruz were the undefeated CCAL champions for the second consecutive year. The players went into the NCS playoffs feeling confident, but lost to San Jose by an unexpected score, 0-12. Although notable, the loss shouldn’t diminish the league success, nor all the first-rate work of the team during the regular season. Every game was well played.

Clarence Hargraves was the top pitcher in the league, winning all five league games. At bat Hargraves had a .475 batting average and hit clean up. The impressive skills of Elbert Andrews, a third year as starting catcher and captain of the team, allowed Hargraves to throw worry-free games from the mound all season.

Webster Benton took fourth in the mile at the NCS meet.

John Caldwell took second in the javelin at the CCAL meet. At NCS Caldwell placed third, but he still holds the NCS record he threw last year, 160 feet. At STATE Caldwell placed second. Last year Caldwell was not able to make the STATE meet at Taft. However, had he been there, he may have won in javelin as his throws at previous meets were longer than the one that took first place. In addition to his impressive abilities in javelin, Caldwell was a center on the football team and a starter on the basketball team.

Jack Sinnott was a starting back on the football team, a first baseman hitting .381 on the baseball team, and, at the CCAL track meet, took second in the high hurdles.
