...Southern Division, Stanford last week met the Northern Division titleholder, Oregon, in a two-out-of-three-game play-off in San Francisco. It was San Francisco's first chance this season to see in action its native son, Stanford's phenomenal Angelo Henry ("Hank") Luisetti (TIME, Jan. 24).

In the first game Captain Hank Luisetti and his able teammate, Art Stoefen, who is a cousin of onetime Davis Cupper Lester Stoefen and No. 2 Stanford pointmaker, lived up to expectations, helped drub Southern California, 64-10-54. Next night Luisetti, suffering from an injured eye, scored only 13 points, and Stanford was beaten...
...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.
