DONS DON’T EXPECT
TO LOSE ANY GAMES
iby The Associated Press
The University of San 'Fran
cisco, a (team that “does not
expect to lose.” won’t have to
flex its muscles until next
week in the holiday basket
ball festival tournament at
Madison Square Garden.
The iDons have (built up a
string of 13 straight victories,
and, with their f.<wp games
this week, should be sporting
a streak of 33 in a row when
they reach the 'Garden a week
from today.
Said coach Phil Wolilpert
when he packed his defending
NVAA champions ifor a month
long tour through the east:
“We don’t expect to lose.”
Confident words, those, 'but
to date Wollpert, is correct.
AJ.'er warming up 'at the ex
pense oil three neighboring
California schools the Dons
stopped off tin Chicago over
the weekend and won the De
Paul tournament, whipping
the host outfit 82-5*9 in the
j final.
| Tomorrow night, they * play
Wichita and on Friday take on
i Loyola of New Orleans. Neith
: er should pose a problem for
' the Dons, a tight defensive
club in these days of high
scores. They’ve permitted an
average Of only 49 points in
five games.
BulJ they could have trou
ble in the Holiday Festival.
They’re paided wii.h Tom Go
la-less La Salle in the opener,
| which should !be easy. Holy
! Cross, however, is a big situm
| ,bling block. The Crusaders
looked impressive, indeed, in
, whipping New /York Univers
ity 85-50 tin the Garden Sat
urday.
The top of the weekly As
sociated Press poll probably
will undergo some scrambling.
Except Ifor i.ihe (Dons, North
Carolina State which trounc
ed West Virginia 92-71 for No.
19 in a row, and Utah, which
decis'.oned Washington S'tate
91-56, the Ibig boys have been
paving trouble.
Iowa, Alabama and Duques
,ne, Nos. 4, 5 and 6, all have
tad fed defeat during the week.
’Bama and the Dukes, in fact,
are 'twice defeated.
Meanwhile, another tourna
.merit gets under way tonngnt
,in Oharlotl e, N. €. — the Char
latte Invitation. Bight teams
are entered with the opening
pairing sending Boston Col
lege against Tennessee, Flori

ooin'ts out the tremendous str
m^.h and placid disposition of
the huge fellow who. when he
first catme up, looked Ike Lou
Glehrig and played first base
man li ke he w as wadi nig out of
a swamp.
But he learned fast, did this
massive, good-natured pupil.
FFis very size mfade him appear
clumsy, and he never would be
rated1 a picture of lithe grace,
but he achieved the same re
sults as those achieved by the
more flashy performers.
It wasn’t that he compiled his
high fielding averages because
he was catching only ballTs that
he had to catch in self-defense
We have in mind one first base
man of by-gone days who rated
hlitm in percentage, but who
would wave cordially at ground
balls which he couldn’t reach
without bending over slightly.
Big Klu takes his chances on
i he hard chances, so his .995
mark is by no means a phoney.
When you have. nearly 1,500
chances, there are going to be
some tou'gfh ones in there.
That wasn’t an easy chance
when he grabbed the hall, whirl
ed, and tagged Alvin Dark as!
the Giant shortstop was trying
to reach first. That his tag just
happened to fracture a couple
of Darks rilbs was purely acoid
enltal. The fellow jusl: doesn’t
know his own strength. Or may
be he does, which is why he a
voids trouble.
Anyway, when you add Klu
szewski’s acknowledged hitting
prowess to his fielding ability
you have a pretty complete ball
player, and a nicer guy isn’t to
be found anywhere.
