64-88, with the help of all-American
Chet Walker, Toledo, 70-78, Western
Michigan, 60-81, and finally Drake, 51-
82, rounded out the swing. Carl Hunter
was the mainstay for the Aztecs as he
averaged about 15 points a game. The
team now had a 3-7 record.
The Aztec Kiwanis tournament was
held the last of December. Winning

League play got underway and at
the first game Long Beach State walloped
an ice-cold Aztec team 80-55.
San Fernando and Cal Poly were SDS's
next two victims but Fresno was too
much, despite the 19 points apiece contributed
by Maureau and Hadley, the
team lost 65-77. Pasadena proved no
worrier but winning a close one over
Los Angeles, 81-77, and losing a heartbreaker
to UC Santa Barbara, 55-59,
we came home exhausted and with a
league record of 3-3.
Pepperdine got revenge, winning
64-58 on a balanced scoring attack by
the Waves. The next week Long Beach
nipped us 79-78 in the last seconds.
