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.

Thunderbird
Lead Taken
By Demaret
Palm Springs, Calif. (U.R)
Jimmy Demaret, the last of the
old guard still touring the hinter
lands on the golf circuit, has an
idea he may have discovered the
fountain of youth.
The dapper Texan, playing out
of Kiamesha Lake, N. Y., went
into the second round of the
$15,000 Thunderbird Invitation
al Tournament today holding a
two-stroke lead over the classiest
field to tee off in one event in
1956.
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.
There was a four-way tie for
second place, each with five-under-par
66s; PGA champion
Doug Ford; world " champion
Julius Boros; Gene Littler, the
local touring pro, and Bo Win
inger of Oklahoma.

New York (U.R) Coach Lou

Tennis champion Doris Hart

ranked light-heavyweight con
tender, was favored today to
outbox knockout-minded Chuck
Spieser in tonight's 10-round

mostly on speed and footwork
to outpoint Spieser, former
Michigan State boxing star from
Detroit.
Pastrano has better experi

and an 11-pound weight advan

worried about Spieser's promise
of a knockout by the middle of
the fight.
The Detroit slugger plans to
