St. Mary's
For 46th Win
By JAMES C. O'NEILL
Uniled Press Sports Writer
Coach Phil Woolpert kept Uni
versity of San Francisco's
mighty Bill Russell on the floor
every minute Friday night to
beat down a determined St.
Mary's 76-63 for the Dons' 46th
consecutive basketball victory.
For the first time this season,
the USF All-American went all
the way. Scoring 28 points for
high point honors, Russell made
the difference as the Gaels
threatened repeatedly to end the
Dons' record breaking spree.
While USF fought to keep its
national prominence, the power
ful UCLA Bruins overwhelmed
Oregon State 77-56 on the Beav
ers' home cpurt. The win, the
ninth straight Pacific Coast Con
ference triumph for UCLA, gave
the Bruins an apparent clear
way to the league championship.
CaL-Wash. State .
California proved a poor host
to Washington State by power
housing to an 87-55 victory and
took over second place in the
PCC by virtue of Stanford's sur
prise overtime upset of Southern
California 78-74.
For USF, the win over the
Gaels (6-4) was its ninth Califor
nia Basketball association win
this season. - -
' Woolpert used only seven' men
in the rough and tumble contest.
The Gaels, trailing 26-31 at the
half, played tight, man to man
defense, which ruffled the de
fending national champions'
play.
The only other PCC game of
the night saw the University of
Washington (8-3) down last place
Idaho (1-10) 46-34 at Moscow,
Idaho.
In San Jose, Loyola of Los
Angeles moved into second place
in the CBA by pounding out a
59-47 win over the Santa Clara
Broncos. The second win for the
Lions (8-4) this week, the game
was Loyola's from the start. "
College of Pacific dislodged
San Jose State from the second
rung of the CBA ladder by a
narrow 60-59 squeeze. The Tigers
(6-4) were ahead the whole night
until San Jose (7-4) tied the score
at 57-57. . ,.
Fresno State handed Pepper
dine its 12th straight loss, win
ning 83-72.

the Bruins. ,
Morris Taft, Naulls and Dick
Banton put the pressure on
Slats Gill's Orangemen in the

for UCLA.

ors with 16 points and Conrad

Stepping Out... With His Two Loves !
It's the hour of twilightl
And what happier prospect could a man ask
for a wonderful evening. For tonight he's stepping
out with his two favorite companions the lady
in his life i. . . and the car in his life!
And you can rest assured that the "car of cars"
will make a contribution all of its own to his
evening's enjoyment.
First of all, there will be the inner satisfaction
a man always feels as he steps into his Cadillac
and settles behind the wheel. All about him
will be the inspiration of Cadillac's luxury
. . . and beauty . . . and graciousness.
Then there will be the thrill of Cadillac's
marvelous performance. Driving will be so easy
and so effortless that every mile will be a mile of
relaxation and pleasure.' ,
There will be the contentment that comes with
Cadillac's great safety ... and the comforting"
knowledge that he and his lady are surrounded
with every comfort and safeguard known to
automotive science.
And, finally, there will be the joy of arriving in
the "car of cars" . . . and of catching those
glances of admiration that will come his way as
he pulls to the curbstone at journey's end.
Little wonder, then, that Cadillac owners have
so great an affection for their motor cars.
And, their sentiments etch themselves all the
more deeply in the light of Cadillac's great
economy and practicality. For how wonderful it
is to know that the satisfactions of Cadillac
ownership are coming from motordom's soundest
and wisest investment.
Why not come in scon with your lady and
"step out" for an hour or so at the wheel of a 1956
Cadillac? The car is waiting for you . . . and we'll
be delighted to do the honors 1
