TUESDAY. DECEMBER 20. 1955 Dons Still Topple DePaul For 31st Win The Associated Press The University of San Fran cisco, a team that “does not expect to lose,” won’t have to flex its muscles until next week in the Holiday Basket ball Festival Tournament at Madison Square Garden. The Qons have built up a string of 31 straight victories, and, with their two games this week, should be sporting a streak of 33 in a row when they reach the Garden a week from today. Said Coach Phil Woolpert when he packed his defending NCAA champions for a month-long tour through the East: We don’t ex pect to lose." To date Woolpert is correct. After warming up at the expense of three neighboring California schools, the Dons stopped off in Chicago over the weekend and won the DePaul Tournament, whipping the host outfit 82-59 in the final game. Tonight they play in the Holi day Festival. They’re paired, with Tom Gola-less LaSalle in the opener, which should be easy. Holy Cross, however, is a big stumbling block. The Crusaders looked impressive in whipping New York University 85-50 in the Garden Saturday. The top of the weekly Associ ated Press poll probably will undergo some scrambling. Except for the Dons, North' Carolina State (which trounced West Vir ginia 92-71 for. No. 19 in a row) and Utah (which decisioned Wash ington State 91-56), the big boys have been having trouble. lowa, Alabama, and Duquesne, Nos. 4,5, and 6, all have tasted defeat during the week, 'Bama and the Dukes in fact, are twice defeated. Meanwhile, another tournament got underway last night in Char lotte, N.C.—the Charlotte Invita tion. 'San Franciso Can Pick Score' Says Dukes' Coach PITTSBURGH, Dec. 19 ( JP )— Dudey Moore, Duquesne Univer sity basketball coach, said today he thinks San Francisco Univer sity can pick the score against any college team in the country. Moore watched San Francisco in action in the DePaul pre-holi day tournament over the week end and had this to say: “From what I heard, I knew they must be great but I figured they just had Bill Russell and maybe one or two other good ones. I didn’t realize they have nine great ones. I guess they could name the score against any college team in the country.” Moore said the National Col legiate championship squad is the best he ever saw. He rated the Kentucky team which had Alex Groza, Ralph Beard and _ “Wah- Wah” Jones his second choice, but “a poor second.” Moore, who coached Duquesne to a National Invitational Tourn ament victory last season, saw his team drop two games—tp Mar quette and DePaul—in the week end event in Chicago. The losses came on the heels of four straight victories.
