Fun to go back and look up Yardley.  

My father in law joined Stanford's varsity for the 53-54, 54-55 and 55-56 seasons.  He's at that stage when we reminisce a bit.  He said that a 1955 San Francisco Bay Area All Star team would have been pretty competitive:

G, Ron Tomsic, Stanford, (3 time all PCC selection, 10th round NBA pick)
G, Russ Lawler, Stanford, (10th round NBA pick)
G, Kenny Sears, Santa Clara (4th overall pick in 1955 NBA draft, two time NBA all star)
G, KC Jones, USF, (2nd round pick, #11 overall in 1956 NBA draft)
C, Bill Russell, USF (2nd overall pick in 1956 NBA draft, 12 time NBA all star)
C, Bob McKeen, Cal (4th round NBA draft pick)
F, Bill Bagley, St. Mary's (5th round NBA draft pick)
F, Nick Romanoff, UOP (9th Round NBA draft pick, played in the old ABL)
F, Jerry Mullen, USF (2nd round NBA draft pick, #11 overall)
