Meeting the Oregon Aggies in the first college game of the season, after it had easily won two club games, the Ignatian team upset the odds by defeating the agricultural five, 28 to 18, at Kezar on December 29, 1930. The Oregonians had heretofore been undefeated in their barnstorming tour, and bay region fans predicted a Northern win. But the starting Gray Fog lineup of Lucier and Bareilles, forwards Pilliard, center; Smith and Kleckner, guards, managed to hit the basket for one or more goals each during the initial half, putting USF out in front, 17 to 8, as the half ended. Pilliard constantly out-tipped the lanky Lyman, Oregon center. The five-man Fog defense throughout both periods proved impenetrable, compelling the visitors to take rangy and hasty shots at the netting. Smith turned in one of his best games of the season at guard during this game. Bareilles and Pillard kept their eyes on the basket all evening, getting 19 points between them (TheIgnatian).
