On August 14,1945, Japan surrendered to the United States, bringing the war to a close. For the next few months, the ships that the people of San Francisco built returned in steady procession under the Golden Gate Bridge. As the men came back home, they also went back to work. Like everywhere else in the United States, the women and minorities who occu­ pied the positions along the assembly lines in San Francisco were expected to give them up to the returning men. Many of the people who originally flocked to the City for work, stayed after the war ended, making San Francisco the diverse city it is today. The City went from a once described "innocent village" to a major me­ tropolis, home to more than half a million people.

Australian big man, Russell Hinder (6.7 ppg, 5.7 rpg), will pick up most of the slack there as will Tucker, Jones and Brewer. Brewer will come off the bench to give strength and fouls when the Dons need to rest Jones. Jones, who averaged only six points per game and 3.7 rebounds as a junior at Berke­ ley, will have to put up big numbers for San Francisco if it wants to contend with Gonzaga for the top slot in the WCC. Tucker is the most pivotal player in the Dons' frontcourt because of two important factors. First, if he can score, he adds a third prong to the scoring duo of Thomas and Lee. Second, Tucker is big enough at 6'9" that he will be charged with bringing down some boards and setting himself in the low post on offense. Tucker is young, but a raw talent that Mathews will hone into USF's go-to guy. His 25 points and nine rebounds against Five Star Sports showed he wants the responsibility. The only questions remaining if Tucker will be able to handle Mathews' renowned toughness on freshman and will he buckle later in the sea­ son if the pressure becomes too much? If the answers are yes and no, respectively, look for the Dons in the post-season. "He has a chance to be one ofthe best play­ ers here. He has a chance? said Mathews. "I've seen some good players here and he has the chance to be like that. I have to drive him. He may get sick of me, but we need him to be an impact player."
