Fred Enke. veteran Arizona basketball coach, is the latest to be placed on the firing line at the UA. "Dr. Harvill, how about 'retiring' Coach Enke," a letter to the editor in the weekly Arizona Wildcat said. "It seems to me that he has had plenty of time to get a winning team." The letter, signed by "J.A.B.", noted that "during the past week, much publicity has been circulated regarding the possible firing of football Coach Ed Doherty.

"Instead of trying to fire likeable Coach Doherty, Dr. Harvill (UA president) should show more concern about the basketball team and coach. They have now lost their last eight games and have a 2-10 record. After 34 years. "Dr.

Harvill, how about 'retiring' Coach Enke. It seems to me that he has had plenty of time to get a winning team." The Wildcat, in a separate editorial, supported Doherty and asked the UA administration not to be too hasty in removing the football coach. "Can Doherty be allowed to take full blame for all the university's football misfortunes?" the editorial asked. "In the first place, for most of the two years he has been here, Doherty has not fielded his own team. "That is one reason why most schools, when hiring a new foot- bail coach, give him at least three years to build a team.

Ed Dohertv bas not had those three years. "If he leaves under pressure after serving only two years this school's already strong reputation for being a 'graveyard' for a coaches would be strengthened. "However, if he is not doing the work for which he is being paid--and some say that he is not--then he should be ousted. And it should be done as quickly and painlessly as possible." In a separate story on the sports page. Dr.

PERTH --lFt-- Alejandro Dime-! do's sensational Australian tennis campaign came to a temporary i halt today when the young Peru- vian was forced to withdraw from i the Western Australian Championships. Playing with United States Davis Cup teammate Barry MacKay, of Dayton, Ohio, in the doubles semi-finals, Olmedo walked off the court after playing 12 games and said: "I am sorry -1 cannot continue." At that stage the 22-year-old Inca Indian, who almost single- handed whipped Australia in the i Davis Cup challenge round ten days ago, had dropped his third straight service and was in obvious pain. Sweden's Ulf Schmidt and Jan Lundquist had won the first set 6-3 and were leading 2-11 in the second.

ALTHOUGH no a announcement was made immediately it was a virtual certainty that Olmedo also would out of the singles semi-finals tomorrow, when he is scheduled to play Andres Gimeno o'f Spain, and rest himself for the Australian Nationals later this month "I don't see how I can play in the singles," said. "The pain gets worse the more I play, and I do not intend to risk a permanent injury." Perry T. Jones, of Los Angeles, American Davis Cup captain, said; "If Alex is in any pain at all he will not play. The boy's welfare is of first consideration." OLMEDO'S DEFAULT would send Gimeno. into the singles final where he would meet the winner Doherty Would Quit JLJL CINCINNATI, Ohio UPI -Football Coach Ed Doherty of the University of Arizona today denied he was being forced to resign after two losing seasons.

Doherty said he had not been asked to resign and that he had not taken any action himself. Asked if he would in the future, he said, "I'm not saying what will do." He said there had been no pressure put on him so far from any source, school officials, boosters, fans or students.

"What I did say was that if they did start pressuring me to quit then I would," Doherty explained. By FRANK ECK PHILADELPHIA Max Patkin (baseball age is making the big leagues at 38.
