The all time SF brawl was the Brothers of SH and the Jesuits of SI at Kezar Pavilion during the playoff championship in '62. Russ Gumina of SH stole the ball and was on a breakaway when Ed Doran ran him down and tackled him at the foul line. A melee ensued on the court with collared clerics trying to stop the skirmishes. Ultimately order was restored, nobody was thrown out and SI won setting up a special playoff with the Irish who had won the round robin. Alas they edged us and went to the TOC where they lost in the final to Joe Ellis led McClymonds.
