; record to date of four wins against
two defeats, with victories over St.

j Texas, Gonzaga and Loyola. Their
j losses are a 3 to 0 defeat by St.
Mary’s and a 13 to 0 drubbing by
! Santa Clara.
Pilots Boast Wins
Portland, however, is boasting of a
three game winning streak which
has resulted in 84 points for the
Mathewmen to 10 for the opposition.
Although the underdogs, Portland
supporters concede the Pilots an out¬
side chance of upsetting the dope
bucket and avenging a 19 to 0 defeat
which the San Franciscans inflicted
upon them at the Bay City last year.
