Not much is known of either USF or St. Mary’s. USF has a record so far this year of six won and five lost. The Dons are reportedly a tall team, but fair ly green. Most of last year’s regu lars were taken with graduation. Dons Improving Scant reports from the Bay area say the Dons are a rapidly improv ing outfit. They have not met any team which has played Oregon this season. Only men who are nearly certain starters for USF are Frank Sobek and Cappy Lavin. St. Mary’s the Saturday night op ponent for Oregon, has a record this year of five won and four lost to date. That is a considerable im provement over last season, when the Gaels won three games and dropped 22. A mutual opponent for Oregon and St. Mary’s has been Santa Clara, which team the Gaels de feated, as did Oregon in a home se ries. St. Mary’s starters are figured to be Mike Cimino and Drew Turner at forwards, Ben Gibson at center, and Bob Steinkamp and Joe Thurs ton at guards.
