...Hank Riecken, a big 200-pound Junior, is holding down the goalie position for the second year, with Jerry Cook pressing him hard.

...champion of the Southern Division, Stanford last week met the Northern Division titleholder, Oregon, in a two-out-of-three-game play-off in San Francisco.

Next night Luisetti, suffering from an injured eye, scored only 13 points, and Stanford was beaten...
...basketball team he will actively coach. Ironically, just as he had reached the status of top-ranking coach of the country, he was quitting basketball-to become dean of men at Stanford next year.
