University of San Francisco Athletics

As usual the Don's 1932 freshmen basketball team was one of the most formidable on the coast. John O'Marie coached the team for his second straight year. Without a doubt the University of San Francisco frosh basketball teams have the best three year record of any on the coast. During the past three years just nine games have been lost by the yearling teams out of some fifty played. Five of these were lost this year but these losses were offset by some notable victories.

The first six games played were with the more powerful high school teams of the bay district; five of these were won and one lost. St. Ignatius was the first and they fell by a 31 to 18 count. Bob Alber was the scoring star of the frosh with 15 points. Sacred Heart were met and conquered by a 33 to 17 score, with Alber, Horgan and Murphy sharing scoring honors, Lowell High, city champions and conquerors of the Cal frosh, were subdued to the tune of 18 to 16 in a hard fought game. Peterson stood out on defense for the babes. Mission offered little opposition and were defeated 36 to 20; Scollin and Murphy tied for high point honors with 10 points apiece.

The yearlings next knocked off Sequoia by a 28 to 17 score. B. Bradley played stellar ball at guard for the Dons. The lone loss came at the hands of Polytechnic High who caught the young Dons on an off night and won 36 to 32 in an overtime game.

The Dons met two club teams in their regular season and defeated them both; the Shopping News 22 to 13 and the Athens Club '45s 39 to 23. Murphy, Armistead, McCann and Scollin shone for the frosh in these tilts (TheDon).
