Kush feels his squad, 5-5-over-all last season and a 3-2 second place finish in the WAC, -will be stronger than a year ago. However, he looks for trouble with a tough schedule this fall. "When you meet a scrambling passer like (Danny) Hol-man," Kush said, "you had better be ready. We're hoping that a lighter, faster overall team will be in our favor." Holman is starting quarterback for the San Jose Spartans.

He is a 6-1 signal caller who finished sixth in the nation last season in passing and 15th in total offense. All this despite the fact he missed several games due to a leg injury. Arizona's sister school in Tempe has been on a crash diet for coaches and team this summer, and enforcement of weight reduction goes into effect with weigh-in Wednesday morning. "We're shooting for speed and quickness, on both offense aiv defense," says Kush. "We feel we have the backs to 'out-quick' some people this fall, so we have to insure that the linemen can keep pace." pr i Arizona and Arizona State will offer their football fans what they term the "best home schedule in history" as each starts its season in three weeks with the first of six home games.

That prospect already has the UA season ticket sales running 12 per cent ahead of last year. Athletic Ticket Manager Chuck Magness re ports that 6.000 tickets have been ordered so far. The season tickets are now being processed for the I' A and mailings are scheduled to begin next week. The record for season sales is 9,000, set in 15. Last year's total was 7.34.1.

The University of Arizona's new look will feature a new grid staff headed by former Canadian pro football coach Darrell Mudra and 17 junior college transfers. And on the Tempe gridiron head coach Frank Kush is expecting and has a program to see to it the slim and trim look.

New this fall among Arizona's JC transfers are Mike Aro, a 6-2, 215-lb. guard from Chabot Junior College, Rich Moriarity (6-0, 170), defensive halfback from Arizona Western and Columbia Basin JC's Dan Ryan (6-3, 215) at offensive halfback. if you look at the Tucson back-field you'll see it isn't. For the Badgers will have three fine halfbacks Rene Madrid (170), Bobby Morrison (190) and Joe Petroshus (165). Madrid was a starter last year, while the other two are proven ball carriers.

In addition, there' is a strong possibility that one of two reserve halfbacks, Al Lewis (155) or Henry Anderson (150), could move to an end. Lewis was a standout sprinter in the 440-yard dash last spring. EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the final article in the Prep Football Previews, a special series for Arizona Daily Star readers. Today's article Is on Tucson High.) By JAN PETRANEK Star Staff Writer Right now, University of Arizona coach Darrell Mudra is franticalljy attempting to bring a "new" look to Arizona football. And simultaneously, Tucson High's new head coach Ollie Mayfield is trying just as hard to preserve the Badger's very successful "old" look.

Mayfield, who was freshman coach at Tucson for 10 years, inherits a team which has known just one thing: tm SPORTS CYCLES PRICED I ean g- MMKiif. and Gardin has stated he has hopes of playing in the Sept. 30 game at Ohio State. Filling the gap left by Gar-din's injury will hopefully be split ends Roger Brautigan and Tim DeWan as receivers. The UA is also hurting in the defensive secondary, where the loss of top returnee Brian Acton will be felt.

When he left school for the summer Culp tallied the scales at 270, his weight for fall report is supposed to be 245.

Arizona will open at home Sept. 16 against defending WAC champ Wyoming. "Our main concern is to build a strong running game," comments the UA coach. "Our passing ability is already proven with the return of quarterback Marc Reed who was second in the nation last year, but with the loss of Ron Gardin we are going to have to work on our pass receivers." Gardin was one of Arizona's top unior college prospects.

He was to have started at tailback for the Wildcats, but broke his leg in two places in a motorcycle accident on July 1.

All six boys lack any real measure of years, the Badgers have won back-to-back state championships. A year ago, under John Mallamo, they shaded Mesa Westwood, 14-7 for the crown. But winning is nothing new to Mayfield.

In 10 seasons, his Badger frosh compiled a 74-7-1 record. And as head track coach, his teams won five Division AA4 titles. Mayfield, however, will have to overcome a peck of problems to keep his outstanding record intact this fall. For he has but one starter returning on both offense and defense, serious gaps to fill in the middle of his line and a definite lack of seasoned receivers. Under Mallamo, who has since been promoted to assistant principal at THS, the Badgers displayed a rather conservative, disciplined spinning- will be fullbacks Charles Ross (190) and Curtis Flannigan (180).

Both have limited varsity experience, but should handle the job. "Over-all, were relatively inexperienced, and will probably have to count on a number of JV's," says Mayfield. In at least one respect, this fall's squad will resemble the Badger state champions of a year ago. For like last year, only one offensive starter is returning. But now it remains to be seen whether Tucson can equal its 11-1 mark of last season.

Even though he is stenning into a winning situation, May-field doesn't feel he is on the Elsewhere on the line, Tucson will have a somewhat more en ooo couraging picture. At tackle, Al Espinosa (215) and Juan Rdri-quez (165) are back. In addi tion, junior Richard Dodson (185) has been hailed as a po tential standout. spot. "I think, perhaps, you are only on the spot in your own mind.

You want to do the best job vou can. all. that's all you can do." "It will be tough to follow I TUv-r PVMaH 1 John (Mallamo), especially aft er all the success he enjoyed." adds Mayfield. Moving outside, Mayfield anticipates some problems at end. "I don't know if we have anybody who can catch the ball," Mayfield says.

"We just may have to move someone from the backfield there." At present, letterman Gilbert Felix (170) and JV's Dick Cady, a genuine speedster (1:58 in the 880), and Vern Davis (165) are available at end. Again, all are inexperienced. Now, with all these apparent worries, it's sure a wonder Tucson is favored by most observers to win the Class AA Southern Division title. Or is it a wonder? Actually, offense. Mayfield doesn't plan to tamper with success.

But he will tinker with it. "We'll still use John's basic offense," says Mayfield, whose frosh teams had been known to open up the attack. "But we may make a few variations to suit our personnel." "We are most concerned about the middle of our line," notes Mayfield. "We just don't have anybody returning up front." And a quick glance at the Badger roster will bear out Mayfield' words. "It won't be an easy job." concludes Mayfield, "But it will be a challenge." 1W7 SCHEDULE OHi scores in brackets, Tucson listed first Sept.

And there will be still further changes. For Tucson teams will not only play in a new division until tomorrow evening. All told, nearly 480 varsity and JV candidates will be in uniform.

The District, which failed to use an extra week of practice approved by the Arizona In-terseholastic Association last year, will see its five schools begin drills one week after the remainder of the state.

But some coaches feel those two schools could be hampered due to the fact District 1 failed to exercise the option of using the additional week of no contact drills. That week, which is primarily for conditioning and timing, was used by Tucson's other five schools Amphi, Canyon del Oro, Flowing Wells, Salpointe and Sunnyside.

District 1 Superintendant Robert Morrow says his district is not against an extra week of drills. "We would like to have our boys practice the additional week," says Morrow, "but we feel It is just too hot at this stage of the summer to use the extra week." Perhaps the most interest involved with the opening of the District 1 teams will center a round Tucson High. Th only ttre yoo can boy with guaranteed free replacement en tread wear! Here's why The Riverside LM.T. Is a completely new tire. The only one of its kind.

It has a nev polyester cord body that's as strong as nylon. Yet as smooth riding as rayon. And the LM.T. has not 2, but 4 full plies of polyester cord for extra mileage and strength. The LM.T.

is concave molded like the racing tires that go the full 500 miles at Indianapolis. New concave molding lets the LM.T. run cooler so it lasts longer. Gives it a flat, even for greater traction and even tread wear. A new high-speed, wrap-around tread makes the LM.T.

at home on turnpike or boulevard. And it's siped full depth to give safe traction for the life of the tread! It all adds up to a new kind of tire. One that can perform as well as it's guaranteed. And no other tire you can buy is guaranteed like Wards new Riverside LM.T. Tucson at Palo Verde Casa Grande at Amphi Bowie at Douglas Catalina at Rincon Phoenix Central at Pueblo Salpointe at St.
