Tragedy On
The Road
By Terry Cress
Collegian Sports Editor
It's a dog com' shame Fresno State College can't schedule 25
basketball games at home each year. Certainly ihe coach of such a
learn would collect the most enviable record In history.
To lose on one's home court Is committing basketball suicide, The
truth ot Ihe matter is. the Bulldogs have been chased up the hanging
tree only once In the last Ihree years by California Collegiate Ath¬
letic Association opponents, l-ong Beach Slate turned the irlek at the
opening of CCAA action last year — ln a double overtime. Presno
State had a clean CCAA slate at home- In I960 and In the current
battle for Hit? conference flag, the Bulldogs trampled Los Angeles
State 73-62, and burned Santa Barbara 67-56.
It Is this enviable record on the home grounds that no doubt has
coach Harry Miller's hopes "way up" for a stretch drive CCAA

coming two weekends, and Presno State will be playing Long Beach.
San Diego, San Fernando Valley and Cal Poly (SLOI all at home.
In eight collegiate suns here, the  Bulldogs have yet to lose.
Why do inosi rnnd trips end ln such tragedy? Trior to last week¬
end, the Bulldogs had complied only three victories In nine attempts
on the road. And the same thing is happening throughout thp nallon.
Place two evenly matched teams on the same hardwood and the
home club walks away with as much as a  25 point  victory.
Coach Miller credits ihe home advantage lo mental preparedness
nnd spectator support, "A noisy home crowd spurs the team on."

Burr. "It's Just that different referees call Ihe games ln different
ways. In Southern California you can't move without a foul being
called, but up In Oregon and Washington the games came closer lo
resembling football."
There's only one answer lo all this. Games must be played on
neutral courts, IMPOSSIBLE.

Registration Outcome
Pleases Grid Coach;
Track Draws Blank
A baker's doien Junior college
football stars, two brilliant bas¬
ketball prospects, and some out¬
standing baseball players and
golfers top a list of promising
new athletes who enrolled at
Fresno State College at the se¬
mester break.
The group of giant grid stars,
while slightly fewer in number
than the bumper crop that ar¬
rived at FSC in 1961. was still
good enough to make head coach
Cecil Coleman glow with opti¬
mism over his 1362 prospects.
"I'd have to say we were in pretty
good shape." he said smilingly at
the close of registration.  .
Heading the list of Incoming
grldders were Henry Ttobcledo, a
210 pound All Blg-R guard from
Stockton College It is hoped that
Robeledo will be a possible re¬
placement for departed Little AII-

Bulldogs Snag
CCAA Lead
Laying Its cards on the CCAA
table, the Fresno State College
Bulldog basketball squad, snuffed
a "full house" Saturday night and
pulled a "royal flush" In batter¬
ing the University of California
at Santa Barbara 8I-E7.
The victory deflated the Santn
Barbara club which had won nine
of Its last ten games and tied the
CCAA pennant race Into a three-
way knot. Fresno, Long Beach
and Santa Barbara all wound up
the  weekend  with  6-2  records.
Mike McFerson moved Into
fifth place in the all-time CCAA
scoring ladder by boosting his
total to 478 points. McFerson tal¬
lied 22 Friday night white the
Bulldogs were trouncing LA State
83-71, nnd added 16 more against
the Gauchos.
