University of San Francisco Athletics

The only senior on the team, the incomparable Lloyd Moffatt, proved to be the team general. His cool leadership and spectacular jumping ability were of cardinal importance. 

Lloyd was named to the All WCAC Second Team and will be sorely missed next year. Moffatt was responsible for recruiting Ollie Johnson to USF.  "I knew Ollie from Washington, D.C. and went to Olympic Community College in Bremerton, Wash. with his brother, Andrew," said Moffatt. "Before I went back home for the summer, Coach Peletta asked me if I could talk to Ollie about possibly coming to USF.

Ollie was all set to go to San Jose State along with some of his other friends from D.C. I talked to Ollie about changing his mind and sold him on the city, the University and the basketball program. I also told him I needed a homey out there so we could fight this battle together. We're all thankful he changed his mind."
 
Johnson didn't need too much convincing. "If it wasn't for Lloyd, I don't think I would have gone to USF," said Johnson. "I trusted Lloyd like a brother he really painted a picture of a very close-knit community in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The academics, structure and location made USF a very special place. The basketball was a bonus. As it turned out, USF was everything Lloyd said it would be and more. I'm forever indebted to him (USFAthletics)."
