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.

Lion Muscle Men
Lose to 'Tutors'
Penn State’s Barbell weight-lifting club inaugurated its
weight-lifting season at Shippensbnrg State Teachers Col
lege Saturday with a 14-9 loss.
Penn State won only two first places and three runner-up
positions against the teachers who totaled four firsts and
two seconds. Three points were given for a first place, while
the second place finisher received one point.
Competition took place in six different weight classes
involving nine men from Penn State, and six from Shippens
burg. Weigh* techniques used
were the two-arm military press,
two-arm snatch, and two-arm
clean and jerk.
Chuck Givler Penn State’s 'l4B
- competitor, provided the
Nittany Lions with the biggest
thrill of the day when he defeated
Shippensburg’s Dick Eschemann.
Eschemann is former Middle At
lantic Amateur Athletic - Union
weight-lifting champion. Both
boys tallied 565 points in the three
everts, put Givler was given the
victory because he was. six-and
one-naif pounds lighter than his
opponent.
In mos* sports a six-pound ad
vantage is not instrumental in
bringing about a win or a loss,
bul *n weight-lifting, as in wrest
ling, the weight is of major im
portance
Another Shippensburg A. A. U.
champ had better luck than Iris
teammate. Jackson, the present
Middle Atlantic champ in the 132-
pound class, defeated Bill Paxton.
Jackson tallied 500 points to Pax
ton's 335.
