THS Tradition (Doolen) Backfires oints established a lag the NIK Devil defense paid hoop-hitting eye the Catalliw Tucson 86 Amphl Pueblo 39 Kincon 55, Salpolnte 36 Sunnyside 59, Douglas 36 TWHS SB. Nogales 55 By RON SUPINSKI Doolen is a name long associated with Tucson High basketball. Bryan C. (Bud) Doolen was the head coach at Badgerville for 20 years before he died in February, 1955. His teams once had won 51 straight games without a reversal.

Last night Bud Doolen, wear- Ing Cataiina High livery, beat Tucson, 62-60. Paradoxical? Not quite. Ironical? Yes This year's 5-U forward named Bud Doolen is the son of the former THS mentor who had Doolen.Junior High named after him. And young Buddy proved he is as much at on a basketball court as the Lone Ranger is on Silver. With the score knotted 60-60, Buddy, a red-headed junior, pushed in a one-hander from the corner with 7 seconds left in the game.

JUMP1N' JIM DOUGLAS, THS's jackrabbit guard, had hit on a 22-footer to deadlock the tiff with 30 seconds remaining after Doolen had plunked a free throw to give CHS breathing room 8t GO-58. As if that wasn't enough, Doolen looped in a one-hander early in the third quarter to break a 32-32 tie and give the Trojans their first lead in the ballgame. After that, the lead changed hands eight times. The Badgers dragged themselves from a 34-39 deficit midway through the third period to go ahead 43-39 with 1:30 left in the quarter. "I've been saving Buddy especially for this one," said a jubilant Bill Kemmeries who guided the Trojans to their fourth straight AA win without a defeat.

"I made Buddy honorary captain for this game. Gee, 1 remember this kid when he was mascot for THS when I played under his father. He's come a long way. Beating Tucson was probably the biggest thrill of his life." KEMMERIES, by the way, was a member of the elder Doolen's 3947-48 and 1948-49 squads at THS which piled up the longest prep basketball winning streak in the Old Pueblo. Doolen got some nifty assists from forward Steve Miles, center Dan Breck and guard Neal Genda.

Miles oiled his left hand to the tune of 7 baskets and 2 free throws to top all game scorers with 16-points. Breck, playing with a 100-degree temperature as it result of the flu, blocked two of George Anderson's left-handed hooks in the game's dying moments. Genda, who Kemmeries claims has no peer in maintaining possession of the ball when the pressure Is on, scored 8 of CHS 17 points in the final period. TUCSON, which lost its first game in three starts, was not without its near-heroes. Sure-fisted guard Chuck LaVetter sank 6 of 8 long one-handers and added 3 free throws for 15 points before he fouled out with 33 seconds THS's forward, snagged 9 rebounds.

Miles and Badger Oscar Holmes each pulled down 7. Tucson copped practically department except scoring. The Badgers led in shooting (24 of 52) to .418 (23 of 55); field goals-24 to 23, rebounds-28 to 18.

Smith bucketed 13 while Hedrick dropped in 12. The Panthers were especial proficient at the foul stripe, sinking 21 of 30. Forward Charlie Cook paced the stumbling Warriors with 17 points. Rincon just had too much class for visiting Salpointe. Ranger center Jerry Cicotte did a fine job limiting Dave Mills, the Lancers pivot, to 7 points while Cicotte tallied 17.

RHS enters the Christmas holidays with a 2-1 mark.and 12 victories in its fast 13 starts, covering two seasons. Salpointe, whicrt eot a 13-point performance from forward Joe Lahiff, has won only one of five. Next to Catalina and Tucson, the loudest pre-holiday cage noise is being made by the city two Class A schools Flowing Wells and Sunnyside. THE CABALLEROS weren figured to do much this season because: Nymeyer was starting his first year as head coach. 2-This marks FW's first year A South competition after climbing from the East ranks.

As It now stands, the Cabs are tied With CHS in wins. Each has four. Sunnyside and Rincon follow three triumphs apiece. Running up its highest point of the season, FW gained revenge on Nogtles, team which the Cabs by two points in Hidden-death overtime in the sea- Eli Dnytwt, who first doesn't look much like a basketball player, standing 5-10 and wearing specs, registered more than half of his team's scoring total as he swished 13 baskets and added 8 one-pointers. His 34 points established single-game high in the Old Pueblo for the 1959-60 season.

The long hours which Ralph Proffitt spent this week in polish- ing the Blue Devil defense paid off. The Devils raced 'to a 12-0 lead before visiting Douglas could catch its breath. With Jerry W.csthof regaining his hoop-hitting eye, the Bulldogs never could catch up, falling behind 32-13 at intermission. West- hot scored most of his 6 baskets on jet-propelled drives. SOCCER, ANYONE? Photo by Lew Raiik Tucson's Jim Douglas (No.

35) seems to have his sports mixed up as he appears to be kicking the ball away from the waiting hands of Catalina's Dan Breck. Actually Douglas tried to save the ball from going out of bounds and was throwing it back onto the playing area but right into the hands of Breck.

Bob Castadena, who paced Rockhurst with 34 points, took a pass with his back to the basket, whirled and sank the jumper from 13 feet.

The Lumberjacks of ASC had taken the lead for the first time with 1:28 to go when Kent Briggs stole the ball and banged in a layup. THE VISITORS' big gun was 6-6 Bill Aaron, who made good on J4 of 22 field shots, sinking jumpers, drives and hooks, and canned 9 of 13 free throws for a total of 37 points.

He said: "We're here to win." Schloredt, who led the Huskies to a 9-1 record this season, added: "We know Wisconsin will be tough. All Big Ten teams are tough.

But we think we can win." Asked about the odds, he replied: "So what? We're not concerned with the odds. They can't affect the "game any." Washington's 47-man squad arrived in this beach city yesterday. The Huskies got an enthusiastic welcome from well-wishers at the airport and along downtown streets as they rode in a motorcade to their Long Beach hotel. OUTSIDE THE HOTEL, the players were introduced to the citizenry. Then City Councilman Patrick Ahern declared: "We want you to meet the boys who will beat Wisconsin on New Year's Day and restore the prestige of the West in the Rose Bowl." Wisconsin, the only Big Ten team to lose in the Rose Bowl under the current pact, arrives in Southern California today.

Owens told newsmen his Huskies have been hurt by a long layoff. Rainy weather in Seattle curtailed outdoor drills. He said most of the drills here will be closed to press and public. Someone asked how long it will take to get the squad back in shape. "Right now Td say Dec.

Buddy Doolen's one- handed set from the corner settled the issue with 7 seconds remaining on the clock. The contest was one of the most-pulsating of the young season.

Catalina Has 2nd Stiff Test Catalina faces its second stif! test in a row, traveling to the Valley for a date with the state champion Phoenix Union Coyotes tonight. The game tops a five-game slate. Local contests include Am phi at Sunnyside, Yuma at Pueblo and St. Mary's at Tucson. Sal pointe treks to Douglas.

CHS, expecting a letdown aftei last night's chiller against Tuc son, will meet a veteran squad in the Coyotes. The Trojans will havt to contend with the likes of Del All-American Andy Stoglin, a springy-legged forward; Troy Col Her, PUHS's stringbean 6-7 cen ter, and Dave Wright, a smart shifty and fast guard. THE COYOTES are undefeated this year in starts against Chan dler (64-36), Carl Hayden (74-32 and South Mountain (79-44). CHS beat Hayden, 52-43. In Yuma, the Warriors face a foe which has dropped two game; to North Phoenix by scores 38-26 and 47-33.

"Three months ago I felt we could get underway in 1961," Rickey told newsmen yesterday. "But recently we have not received the cooperation we need from the major leagues." Rickey cited the following roadblocks as reasons against the new circuit's opening in 1961: 1. The monopoly of players and territories by the two current leagues. 2. A lack of foresight on the part of the National and American Leagues.

Rickey asserted that the major leagues cannot foresee that such expansion as the new league is the only salvation for baseball in this the minor leagues are dying off. 3. The American League's talk of expansion. The Continental League, said Rickey, can't get membership because baseball people feel their city may be taken into one of the current leagues. Enke Hints Al Shakeup Marines Surprise Wildcats By CARL PORTER Arizona Coach Fred Enke, jretty well "all shook up" by an 7-67 lacing by San Diego Marine Recruit Depot last night, may do a little shaking up of his iwn.

That was Enke's solemn ob- jervatlon last night, moments be- ore going into a lengthy after- game meeting with his battered had been under the Marines' concentrated 46-per-cent wmbardment all evening. But Enke planned a few bombs of his own. "That's right," snorled the robust veteran of 38 years in the coaching, ranks, "you can say here'H probably be some changes our starting lineup by the Washington State game Tuesday. We'll probably have one change at forward and maybe another one at guard and even two at guard!"

Arizona had its worst night of the young 3-3 campaign, hitting a shivering 27 per cent (26 of 95) 'or the evening and an icy 21 per cent in the disastrous first half tself.

It was the first half in which Leathernecks suddenly burst "rom a 10-12 deficit to a shocking 44-22 halftime lead, primarily on he hot-shot firing of forward Lou (14 first half) and player- coach Lt Bill Peterson (12 first half) from guard. ARIZONA, meanwhile, was otally unable to zero in on target, as even scoring sensation rnie McCray (previous 24.8 average) was held down to only 3 the first half and 11 for the Enke had to stew through one scoreless 8-minute stretch just before the half as Arizona scored only two field goals in the second 10 minutes of play. Perhaps the only bright spot of the evening was sophomore forward Kirk Young, a 6-5 Catalina High product who gave Enke some hope for scoring help from the forward position by pumping in 17 points the second half (22 for the night) as the Cats rebounded lo outscore SDMRD, 45-43, the second half.

Such Kittens as center Dan Scurlock (17), forward Monte Clausen (12) and guard Jack White (10) dominated play for the first 30 minutes, forging the frosh ahead by some 20 points. But in the last minutes, the Ranchers caught fire behind the 29-point scoring of former Wildcat Ed Nymeyer (up to his old free throw tricks with 15 points at the foul ine) to outscore the Kitten reserves 17-2 and close the gap to 55-60 just before the end of the game.

The Tigers trailed for most of the game in the regular season meeting before left halfback Billy Cannon galloped 89 yards with a punt to score LSU's touchdown in a dramatic 7-3 victory. For the most part in the first 1 game, however, Ole Miss did a strong job of bottling up Cannon, named the most valuable player in college football this year. The rock-like Mississippi defense probably won't let something as fantastic as Cannon's almost solo dash happen again. So while the Rebels are trying to plug up Cannon, right halfback Johnny Robinson may be the man to watch in the LSU offense.

St. Louis came mighty close to upsetting West Virginia after the Mountaineers rolled to a 19-point lead with the aid of All-America Jerry West, who scored 25 of his 37 points in the first half. But the Billikens plugged away and came within two points of the Mountaineers in the waning seconds of the game. St.

Louis guard Jim Dailey had a chance to tie the score with two free throws. He made the first one, but his second rimmed the basket and bounced out just as the final horn sounded. "I DIED a thousand deaths in those last seconds," said West Virginia Coach Fred Schaus. "We'll have to do better than that to beat Kentucky." Bennie Coffman was the hero of the Wildcats' triumph over the stunned Tar Heels. Coffman's deadly long s.hooting early in the game broke up North Carolina's zone defense, and later when the Tar Heels went into a man-to-man, he cut them up with driving lay- ups.

All told, Coffman netted 23 points to lead the scoring. Lee Shaffer paced the Tar Heels with 22. North Carolina and St. Louis were the only casualties among the top ten last night. Top-ranked Cincinnati was idle, but secon-ranked Ohio State scored its sixth straight victory by overwhelming Butler, 96-68..
