Show Broncos Lose Two Hoop Games On Home Court Showing the effects of a stren-ous stren-ous trip to California the Branch Agricultural College basketball team were definitely "cold" in the first home appearance of the Bronco squad Saturday night, and as a result of their Inability to hit the hoop Coach Ray Lind-quisfs Lind-quisfs charges were trimmed by Modesto, 44 to 36. The Broncos trailed throughout most of the game, and although they rallied frequently, they could not close the gap. They played a consistent game on the floor, but their inability to find the range of the hoop cost them the game. Wednesday night, however, It was a different story, and the local squad came within one point of walloping a highly favored fav-ored team from Compton Junior College in California. The Broncos completely outplayed the rangy Compton crew throughout the first half, and were leading 29 to 23 at half time. A desperate rally by the visitors, visi-tors, coupled with a momentary let-down by the Broncos midway of the second half, pushed the Californlans out' into a six point lead. However, the Broncos were again outplaying their opponents oppon-ents as the game drew to a close but the rally failed by one point, and the visitors won by a score of 63 to 62. In the Compton game the Broncos scored two more field goals than the visitors but lost the game at the foul line, Compton Comp-ton converting 17 out of 23 tries, while the best BAC could do was 12 out of 21.
