Among other tiffs the Glendale record shows meager -33-25 trl umph over pint-sized Peona and a one-point loss to the Yuma Crlras 40-39.

Genung's only hope Is that Larry Hart, the Panther's steady a and leading point-maker with 45, will be to halt Coach. Bud Doolen's unerring marksman. In the last Amphi-Tucson tussle on Dec.

22, the Panthers attempted 15. free throws and sank eight, and tried 45, field- goals and hit for only 12. If this 26 per cent, record can 'be enhanced a week and a half hence, the northsiders -may endanger Tucson's unblemished string.
