San, Francisco-California Tangle Seats Going at Scalping Prices By HENRY RIEGER San Francisco (U.R) Univer sity of San Francisco's chief cheerleader announced today that he was passing USF's "big game" with California tomor row night in favor of a ski trip. Insignificant news item? Con trariwise. That little bit of incidental information tips the hand of the USF's fans who are, to put it mildly, confident that the Don basketball team will conquer Cal with ease to set a new major college consecutive win mark of 40. Game Sellout But while guy Joe Eondanza is giving up his seat for this biggie, just about everyone else in the San Francisco Bay Area is fighting for a seat in Cal's 7,200 capacity gym. The game has been a sellout for a month ever since USF took the New York Holiday tour ney in a hop, skip and a short jump. The tournament victory left little but easy marks in front of the Cal courtfest. Seats, if you are fortunate to find one, are going at scalping prices of S15 per copy 10 times the face value. USF, if it wins number 40 to morrow, will best a major col lege mark of 39 now jointly held by Seton Hall and Long Island university.

And he credited it all to his putting. Squeezed Until Hurt "For three or four years I've been jittery putting," he said today. "So yesterday I started squeezing the putter shaft until it hurt. It seems to work. Demaret connected on putts of 40, 30 and 18 feet for birdies; tanked three more putts of six feet or more for the round. He came in with nines of 33-31 for a seven-under-par 64 on a rain- soaked course that was supposed to be tough.
