The OTTAWA HERALD Thursday, March 16, 1960 Wet Opening Fla. (AP) St. Petersburg Opeh Golf Tournament starts today with the effects of Wednesday's heavy rain llfely to complicate play for the field of ISO. Favorites in the $15,000 72-hole tourney at Lakewood Country Club include Arnold Pal hrter, Cary Middlecoff, and Ken Venturi. ALL-STATE IN CLASS BB Hal Logan, (left) all- state honorable mention, and all state selections, Dennis Bolen, Max Logan and Dale Bolen, admire the trophy brought home from the tourney In Dodge City.

Supt. L. C. Haughn and Coach Devine Montoya lend their support. Quenemo won the state championship in Class BB last week.

(Photo by Spencer Martin) Quenemo Found Right Winning Combination By SPENCER MARTIN What is it? What combination of elements mixed together pro duces a state high school championship basketball team? Not many people know the answer, not even those hallowed few who have been fortunate enough to make it. This year Quenemo High School produced a team that compiled a season record of 22 wins and five losses including the state Class BB championship. Alj this and only two home games 1 Because the Quenemo gym is too small, all "home" games but two were played on he opponent's court. A new gym is currently under construction, and will be ready for use next year. What factors make his particular team better than any other Class BB team in the state of Kansas? Is it the coach? Devine Montoya graduated from Panhandle A in 1955, coached two years at Baker, Oklahoma and is completing his third season at Quenemo.

Is it the administration? L. C. Haughn, former coach and now a superintendent, is no stranger to state tournament competition. As a coach he was "often a bridesmaid, but never a bride." He took a grand total of six teams to the state tourney, but never got top honors. Two of his teams made the semifinals, and one took third place.

Is the players? Quenemo is not a physically overpowering team. No skyscraping centers and forwards, no blazing speed, no secret weapon. However, the Quenemo players can jump over the rim of the bucket and seem to be able to put the ball through the basket a trifle faster and con siderably more often than the opposition. Is it school spirit? Quenemo lias a full complement of attractive cheerleaders, duly enthusiastic and capable of arousing fans to a peak of vocal support for the team. It couldn't be playing facilities because this team had none to really call its own.

No home court advantage to help pile up games in the victory column. Hundreds of other high school teams have just as good a portfolio of qualifications as Quenemo. What then, was the recipe for success? Let's say an exact mixture of ingredients much like a good cake. A half a teaspoon of coach, a full teaspoon of players, a fourth a teaspoon of administration and a fourth a teaspoon of school spirit. Mix thoroughly, throw in a ton of luck for just the right texture and maybe, just maybe, a championship will result.

No two teams are alike, just as no two cakes are alike, attd the recipe may change, but the ingredients do not. What now for this team that will soon fade into history, but will not be forgotten? Dennis Bolen, leading scorer and all- state selection, plans on continu ing his education but is undecided as to where he will go. At present he is interested in coaching. Dale Bolen, Dennis's brother and also an all-state selection, will return next year to harass Quenemo opponents. Max and Hal Logan, the cousin combo, are both planning to go on to college next year, probably at the University of Kansas.

Max was an all-state selection and Hal made honorable men tion. The other senior on the team, Bob Bryan, plans to continue his education in the field of zoology, probably at K.U. The Quenemo booster club will honor this group of high school champions, that found the recipe for basketball success, this Fri day night at a special banquet. The event is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the City Annex.

Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, former U. coach, will deliver the ad dress.

A fitting tribute to a team that looked little, but played big. Subs Put On Good Fight CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP)-Ar ticulate Leroy Jeffrey of Detroit figures he learned enough Wednesday night from wily Ike Chestnut to reverse the 10-round decision he lost to the veteran New Yorker in a televised (ABC) fight. The two featherweights, last- minute substitutes in the main event as a knee injury to Mike DeJohn of Syracuse erased his bout with Zora Folley of Chandler, put on a whale of a scrap. Each weighed 130. Jeffrey, the ex collegian almost won it all.

He sank a left hook into Ike's midsection in the seventh, bringing a combined whine and moan from the New Yorker who backed away holding his hands over the injured spot. Jeffrey tore in, landed two more to the same spot, and Ike was down for a six count. He got up badly hurt, weathered the round and went on to win a close but unanimous decision. Judge Bill Tomson voted 45-44, Judge Charles Bill 46-44, Referee Tony Lachanche 46-44, and The Associated Press 46-45 Chestnut. all for Cage Playoffs Open Friday SAN FRANCISCO 'AP) Cin- by All-America Oscar Robertson, to the new University of San Francisco gym for a workout.

Dinner could wait. Ohio State, Big Ten champions and New York University the sleeper in this basketball spectacular, arrived today and will work out in the evening on the Cow Palace floor. The two squads meet in the opener Friday night. Then comes the Cincinnati-California game. Both teams have 27-1 records.

Cincinnati, whipped by the defending champion Bears in the semifinals last year, wound up the season ranked the best team int he nation. California was rated No. 2. Siebern Boosts Batting Average More Sports Planned For TV NEW YORK (AP) There will be fewer Saturday nights out for busy boxers and hopeful housewives come Oct. 8.

That's the date televised pro fcssional boxing switches to Sat urday nights. And there will be a little less lawn cutting and car washing on Saturday afternoons come April 16. That's the date a fifth major league game-of-the-week, featuring the San Francisco Giants, starts on network television.

"We didn't come here to sightsee," Coach George Smith said Wednesday night when the Bearcats arrived by charter piano.

"We've got a job to do." The plane was late getting in but Smith bustled hi etroops, led ball TV rights for the next two seasons. Gillette, a longtime leader In sports TV sponsorship, said it has invested million dollars in the new fight series, baseball and college football. And a company spokesman said this would cover half the cost of the rights and air lime, bringing the over-all estimate of the three-sport program to 17 million WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) Norm Siebern, obtained from the New York Yankees during the winter, boosted his batting average to .615 in the exhibition baseball season as Kansas City defeated Baltimore 8-1 Wednesday.

Second Phone CH 2-2804 (Ltflhanded (L), Kighthaniled (R) By Ben 01 an Until June 1, 1959 Tito Francona had been a ftir, journeyman ballplayer used as a pinch-hitter and part-timer at first base and in the outfield. Then, inserted into the regular Cleveland lineup, he blossomed into one of the American League's mostproduc- live batsmen. He hit .363 with 20- home runs and 79 runs batted in while participating in 122 games.

Francona played an important part in the following situation in which Manager Joe Gordon made a neat move that helped win a game. Here's an opportunity to match wits with Gordon and discover how you rate as a grandstand skipper. Cleveland and the Yankees are tied 3-3 in the top of the 13th at New York. Jim Coates (R) is on the mound for the Yanks. Francona, leading off, reaches second when first baseman Marv Throne- berry throws wild after fielding his grounder.

I have noj quarrel with anybody. I simply want to get out of the Syracuse picture," Paul Seymour said. That ended Seymour's 13 years as a player and coach with the Syracuse Nationals of the National Basketball Assn. Seymour, who suddenly announced his resignation Wednesday night, said he had no immediate plans. He joined the Nats in 1947 and succeeded Al Carvi as coach early in the 1955-57 season.
