San Francisco Dons Win 36th In Row Friday By international News Service If the University of San Francisco is going to lose a basketball game this season, the odds on naming that team should be 100 to 1. The Dons, who.are helping make the university's centennial a memorable year of existence, did it again Friday night. This time the foe was UCLA-the to beat the Dons —and/ike 35 previous victims, the Bruins' quintet was unable to match ’baskets with the "tall men" of the Bay city. The final score was 70 to 53 and gave the traveling San Franciscans the holiday festival basketball tournament crown. A Madison Square Garden gathering of 16)000 saw the Dona win with ridiculous ease. , With All-American center Bill Russefl clearing both backboards and dumping in an assortment of floor shots, the nation's number one college team Yan its victory string to 36 straight games— best in the country. The victory also enhanced San Francisco’s chances to break the all-time mark of 39 straight wins held by Long Island and Seton Hall, ’ ’ There are 15 games remaining on the San Francisco schedule, 14 in the newly formed and comparatively weak California Basketball Association. There is little likelihood thaf San Franciseo’s record will be marred until championship time. Russell led his fabulous teammates with 17 points although scoring honors went to UCLA's Willie Naulls who collected 19. Friday night’s action crowned several tournament winners. How-., ever, two of the nation’s outstanding teams, Duke and Rice-fell from the ranks of the unbeaten while favored Utah, the number eight team, lost the Sugar Bowl crown to Notre Dame. Duke lost its first game in nine starts to still undefeated North Carolina, 74 to 64, m one of two semi-final contests at the seventh annual Dixie Classic in Raleigh, The Ric? Owls lost a heartbreaker in an overtime contest to SMU, 76 to 73. The win gave the Mustangs the fifth annual Southwest Conference pre-season tournament title. It was the first loss in 11 starts for Rice and the 10th win. in 12 for SMU. *■ North Carolina State and North Carolina, the number two and seven teams respectively, battle Tor the Dixie Classic vrown* tonight. State won as it pleased over Wake Forest, 70 to 58. The Wolfpack, winner of 11 straight, was paced by Cllf Hafer who dumped in 20 points, eight during a hectic second half when Wake Forest tried to cloae the gap. The rugged Mountaineers of West Virginia got a 28-point scoring spurt from 6-10 center Lloyd Sharrar as he and his mates handed Miami (Fla.) an 83 to 78 defeat. The win gave the Mountaineers the first annual Orange Bowl tide. Sharrar’filled the gap left by West Virginia’s All-American star, "Hot Rod" Hundley who was held to 17 points. lowa State, the 10th ranked team, won its first Big Seven Pre-Season Tourney crown by crushing .favored Kansas 66 to 56 at Kansas City, Mo. It was the eighth win in 10 starts for the Improving Cyclones who were paced 6y diminutive guard Gary Thompson with 22 points.' Cincinnati swamped host University of Richmond in the second annual Richmond invitational, 89 to 60 for the tourney tilte. The Bearcats hit on an amazing 47 per cent of. their floor shots. Captain Phil Wheeler, sharpshooting forward, and 6-8 center Dave Plunkett had 29 and 24 points, respectively. - ' All-American football end Ronnie Kramer led the University of Michigan, to- an 80 to 79 upset triumph
