Bunn's Boy-Angelo Henry ("Hank") Luisetti, son of a restaurant chef, is the No. 1 product of this extraordinary coaching regime. He is considered so superior to all other basketball players this year that he is one of the few basketball subjects over which there is no controversy.

Last week Stanford, apparently the best team in, its Conference and one of the best in the country, beat California at Berkeley, 36-to-32, in a game featured by the fact that its 6 ft. 3 in. forward, Hank Luisetti, whom Coach John Bunn calls the greatest player in the history of the game, was held to 15 points. In nine Conference games, of which Stanford has lost only one, to the University of Southern California, and in a preConference transcontinental tour, on which Stanford won seven games...
