BERKELEY, Calf, March 5.-An-
gelo (Hank) Luisetti, Stanford's lanky,
sharpshooting forward. was hailed to-
day as the highest scoring collegiate
basket ball player of all time.
Luisetti scored % points last nigh.
as Stanford crushed University of
California here, boosting his total to

tional four-year scoring record of 1881
set from 1882 through 1885 by Glenn
Roberts Of Emory Henry College, Vir-
ginia.
Title TO Stanford.
Stanford's victory gave the Indians
the Southern division championship
OF the Pacific Coast Conference.
Luisetti bettered by "a points his
own one-season conference scoring
mark of 108 points in IL games.
He was knocked unconscious for
four minutes in the second half when
he stumbled over California player.
Revived in the dressing room, he re-
turned with five minutes to play and
scored points.
The San Francisco Italian scored
sos points as freshman at Stanford,

ference title. which Stanford has held
the last two years.
Oregon, Washington and Washing
ton State all are in the running for
