Jerry Robinson, 6' 7",  will start at center. Robinson was a Frosh first-stringer last season and, from reports, is working harder than ever. He was an All-City Prep in High School.Â
For the first time in the school's 50-year basketball history, the University of San Francisco is practicing in its own new gymnasium. In the past, USF teams have played on borrowed courts. It is something of a pity, therefore (though it doesn't appear so, obviously, to the other teams in the league), that Coach Phil Woolpert has his weakest squad in years, and that San Francisco's recent supremacy may come to an end this season. Woolpert is always, of course, his team's biggest asset—a superb teacher of the fundamentals, especially on defense. It will take all his skill to produce a title-winner this time, not only because he has lost all of his best players but because the competition this year is exceptionally strong. Woolpert starts with Mike Preaseau, last link to the golden years of the Bill Russell teams. He, John Cunningham, Dave Lillevand, Charles Range and Jerry Robinson or Dave Hinds make up a likely first five. Top reserves are Bob Radanonvich and Ron Cox. As usual, USF will be tough on defense and will run a deliberate, wait-for-the-good-shot attack. Lack of experience is the biggest flaw (SIVault).
