He went to Cal Poly and came back to take over my job, Dr. Mott said. Even today, he tells people hes a Cal Poly graduate, he laughed. Memories like these are happy for Dr. Mott.

Somehow I can only remember the good things, he said. But thats all right with me. His retirement plans are indefinite, but Dr. Mott hopes to keep active playing golf and running a couple of miles every day. And he anticipates having plenty of time to dote on his grandchildren.

My son, Hank, lives just up the street with his four children, so I dont have very far to go, he said. His daughter, Katherine, and her 12-year-old son live in Covina. My wife, Helen, and I have made reservations for the Olympics and we may even take the Trans-Siberian Railway to get there. But, we dont have any immediate travel plans, he said. Dr.

Mott, who was born and reared in Akron, Ohio, is a graduate of the University of Akron, University of Southern California, and Stanford University. He was a high school teacher and coach in the Akron Public School System and served in the U.S. Navy before joining the Cal Poly faculty. in SLO Ohm authored a 1-0 no-no in 1971 and Pomonas Vic Bernal, currently pitching in the San Diego Padres farm system, spun a no-hit, no-run 4-0 victory during the 1974 season. Unless theres an abrupt about face by one team or the other, a nohitter is highly unlikely this weekend.

For one thing Pomonas pitching staff has the highest earned run average in the Alliance 5.17. And opposing batters are hitting at a .296 clip against Bronco pitching.

SAN LUIS OBISPO Dr, Robert A. Mott spent his last days at Cal Poly in a small, cardboard-box-crowded room off Crandall Gym. The cramped quarters had memories for the retiring physical education instructor and coach.

Its funny, he said, his tanned face breaking into a nostaglic smile. This is the very same office I had when I came to Cal Poly. 1946. Two weeks ago he closed that office door for the last time. After 32 years as teacher, coach, mentor, and head of the universitys Physical Education Department, Dr.

Mott officially retired on Friday, March 31. Friends and fellow faculty members held a farewell dinner for him on Saturday, April 1, at the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo. Dr. Mott appreciates all the attention hes been getting, but hes modest about his accomplishments with the physical education program at Cal Poly. I was lucky to have worked here, Dr.

Mott said, as he settled into a swivel chair amidst boxes containing momentos from his long stay at the university. When he arrived in 1946, a recent graduate of University of Southern California, there were only three teachers on the physical education staff. Three of us Howie ODaniels, Chuck Pavelko, and myself all shared one office. We had a gymnasium and a swimming pool, but we had to use parade fields and the gymnasium at Camp San Luis (a nearby U.S. Army camp) for baseball and basketball practice.

The faculty kept growing and so did the facilities, Dr. Mott explained. The football stadium bleachers were installed in 1948 in a week, Dr. Mott explained. Tracks, a baseball field, another gymnasium, tennis courts, and other playing fields followed.

"The first (physical education) major class graduated in 1951 all men, Dr. Mott remembered. Women came to Cal Poly and the Physical Education Department in 1956, and Dr. Mott coordinated a coeducation program until 1972 when a separate Womens Physical Education Department was organized. (The Mens and Womens Physical Education Departments have since been combined into a single Physical Education Department under the leadership of Dr.

Jim Railey.) Poly owns an 18-21-1 record after a Wednesday twin bill split at U.C. Santa Barbara. While the Broncos have maintained some respectability in the Alliance games at least, Cal Polys defending champion Mustangs are mired in last place with a 1-10-1 record, a situation which Coach Harr finds difficult to understand or believe. Since the two Cal Polys started facing each other in baseball in 1967 the Mustangs hold a 29-26-1 edge in the series. Pomona won the first six games and Cal Poly SLO never evened the series until the 24th meeting between the schools Low Cost New-Car Financing 1907 MAXWELL TOURABOUT The Maxwell was the light well made proud of its ab htv tc go 100 match, edging out San Luis Obispo's Mike Castro, who carded a 36-36-72 Arroo Grande's other three golfers shot in the 80s' Mark Ischar and Mark Valadez both had 86's, and Brian Bowes fired an 83.

I'm quite happy about it all, said Kadota following the match, despite the fact he's had to pay for two steak dinners. He's already looking forward to next year because Valadez is the lone senior on the arsity. Peter Kraatz recorded an 89 as the Eagle junior varsity dropped a 445-503 decision to San Luis Obispo. Arroyo Grande returns to Rancho Maria in Santa Maria Friday for a 1-30 match with Riehetti At last count, the Physical Education Department faculty has 35 full-time teachers and more than 400 students. Quite a change, Dr.

Mott said. In addition to supervising a blossoming department, Dr. Mott also managed to build up a nationally-known summer workshop program tot physical education teachers from throughout the world. Last summer was our 30th year. And this year, we expect about 1,000 people to participate in the workshops, which offer concentrated one- and two- week instruction sessions in physical education theory and athletic coaching techniques, he added.

In 1963, Dr. Mott was asked to be the physical education consultant and vice principal of a new college in Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia). He took leave from his duties at Cal Poly to spend two years with the program, as an employe of the federal government. We started the college with 30 faculty people from all over the world. Several Cal Poly instructors were asked to participate, he said.

While I was there, the government sent a student to the United States to study physical education in 1972. It wasnt until 1973 that the Mustangs moved ahead in the series finishing that year with an 18-15 bulge. Pomona, which won the NCAA Div. II national championship in 1976, regained the edge in the series that year 26-25 by winning four of the six games played. The only meeting between the schools so far in 1978 ended in a 4-4 stalemate concluded by darkness after 10 innings in early March in Pomona.

A trio of no-hitters have highlighted the series. In 1970 Mustang Dean Treanor tossed a 2-0 no-no at the Broncos.

The match was originally scheduled for April 7, but postponed because of rain. Casano fired a 39-40-79, and thus earned a steak dinner from head coach Ken Kadota! Teammate David McBeth, who tied two former Eagle golfers for the lowest score ever when he carded a 69 against SM last week, was well on his way towards breaking that mark as he birdied three of the first six holes.

But he settled for a 35-3671, one-under-par, as Arroo Grande posted a 405-411 triumph. It is the Eagles' third straight league victory, and improves their records to 3-5 in league matches, and 4-8 overall. McBeth was medalist of the Hoeflicker Scores 64 in Nipomo Golf NIPOMO Gloria Hoeflicker carded a net score of 64, lowest of the day, to win fourth flight low gross honors in a Black Lake Women's Golf Club Tournament Tuesday.

PM Luis Obispo is here to Corolla of COROLLA: the many of SAN LUIS OBISPO A couple of collegiate baseball teams going now here at the moment try to salvage some respectability for the 1978 season when they clash this weekend in San Luis Obispo. It'll be Cal Poly's Mustangs hosting Cal Poly Pomona and if prewous confrontations yield any clues as to what'to expect, things will be close. The schools will vie in a 2:30 m.

But Coach John Scohnos Broncos are 5-6-1 in the Southern California Alliance and are in fourth place.
