"The boys are pretty down after that last one. They played well enough to win but they didn't." Read figures that Santa Rosa, despite its unbelievable 0 8 record, will be itching and then some. "It just wasn't our night to win." i College of Marin football coach Dick Read was musing over the remains of a 12 6 setback at the hands of league leading Shasta College last week, knocking the Tars out of Golden Valley Conference contention. "We played very well," Read said. "We got inside their 29 five times but we'd either make "Nobody has walked' over them yet," Read said.

"They've lost some close ones and my teams have never beaten them." "We'll just have two work and get back on the right track," he said. 0 The Tars have not beaten Santa Rosa since 1947, with a 12 year break in the series from 1950 to a mistake or there would be a 15 yard penalty. In that kind of mud, you just don't make up that yardage." Passing, or the lack of it, also played a part in the loss. "Our passing was off," Read said. "We completed 5 of 19.

That's not too good." In other Golden Valley games last week, Napa ended a four game streak of frustration by downing Santa Rosa, 15 7, leaving Santa Rosa winless in eight outings. Sierra stopped Yuba 24 12, setting up a big showdown between the loop's two unbeat ens, Sierra and Shasta, at Redding Saturday. The Tars are 2 2 in league play and are assured of at least a tie for third place. The Tars face their annual Little Big Game against Santa Well, I see where the Little Orphan Annie of American sports, the Sick Child or Organized Athletics, has been dumped on the doorstep again with its formula pinned to its bib. American tennis has reached a new low.

Let the World Cup be a pro event. You all know what our impolite society's phrase for the "amateur" tennis player is, surely? "Tennis bum." No other sport gets that accolade of derision. It is taken for granted he cannot take his place among legitimate wage earners.

He lives at the end of a short chain. He is beholden. Even his wife has to learn to curtsey. THE GAME AT the amateur is, it's as anachronistic as George III. It adheres to a code of behavior as outmoded as Louis XIV's court.

This season, the Miami graduate is the leading scorer in the league. His 44 points last night helped both his average and the Warriors, who defeated the Detroit Pistons 115 104 for their fifth straight victory in the only NBA game of the night. Barry hit 17 of 30 from the floor and all 10 of his free throw attempts. He also took 11 rebounds and led both teams with six assists.
