Andretti was not hurt and still has almost twice as many points as No. 2 This is the 16th article in the annual Summer Prep Football Previews, a series to give the Star's readers a look at local and Southern Arizona high school football. Today's article is about Tucson High School. By JOHN FIELD Star State Sports Editor "This is the year a lot of teams will get their revenge on Tucson High," moans the Badgers' head football coach Ollie Mayfield after the loss of 28 senior starters from last year's team which was ranked No.

1 in the state. The Big Red will have only one regular returning All-City quarterback Willie Morales and one other part-time starter 134-pound halfback Don Gin from last season's squad. And as Mayfield says, the Badgers will have to depend on their junior varsity players, "but most of them went to Cholla." The Tucson High mentor bemoans the fact that "five Oaks Coach Studies Albuquerque Cage Spot Dover Track Draws Scorn ably started for us and five that would have been starters this fall went to Cholla." Cholla is the new westside high school which will draw from Tucson and Pueblo, and will be coached by former Pueblo High defensive coach, Ed Brown. One quarterback isn't much to work with, but when he was the top signal caller in the city last season and one of the best in the state in 1968, you won't find many head coaches shedding tears for Ollie Mayfield. Not every team can come back with a seasoned field general to work with a bunch of young players, but Tucson High has the added advantage of being switched this year to the weaker League in the Southern Division of Class AAA football.

For the past two seasons the Badgers have had to win in the powerful A League, which always has a title fight right down with Albuquerque businessmen Sunday to discuss a possible Albuquerque ABA franchise. ALlU gi'EUQUE, M. (AP) Alex Hannum, coach of the Oakland Oaks of the American Basketball Association, met Prize Race Horse Dead In Stable DETROIT (AP) Sir Zan Leo, an American quarter horse champion valued at $25,000, was found dead in his stall Sunday at the Michigan State Fair. Electrical burns on his nose indicated the 7-year-old stallion may have electrocuted himself. His body was taken to Michigan State University at East Lansing for an autopsy.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (AP) Clint Brawner, who built the Hawk race car wrecked by Mario Andretti Sunday at the new Dover Downs, track, predicted Monday that the United States Auto Club's socially built championship race cars would never run there "These cars are not built for these high banks," Krawnor said. Cars driven by Andretti, Lloyd Ruby, Al Unser and Wally Dallenbach were wrecked in practice and in the race. Huby and Dallenbach were hospitalized. "This is just a bad setup," Brawner said.

Sure to get starting roles are returning defensive linebackers Armando Valente and Marv Lewis. Valente also saw some action on offense at tackle, and will probably be joined there by Ed Ochoa. The other linemen who lettered are guard Ron Morris and Gregg Andrews and end Pierre Shaw. The pass receiving ends which were a big boon to the THS attack last season are depleted almost completely the Big Red lost its first five ends to graduation. It may be a lean season for the Badgers Ollie Mayfield will tell you that anyway but it will be no surprise to anyone if the Badgers are as strong as ever soon after the season started.

(AP) More than 100 caddies scheduled to work at the $100,000 Greater Hartford Open golf tournament this week are considering a strike because many of the top players are being allowed to bring their own professional caddies.

Zaccag-nino an attorney representing the Wethersfield Country Club caddies. A spokesman for the tournament sponsors, the Greater Hartford Junior Chamber of Commerce Jaycees, told the caddies at a Sunday night meeting that the sponsors were forced into the situation in order to get guarantees from seven of golf's biggest names that they would play in the tournament. A notice that professional caddies would be allowed at Wethersfield was posted on the players' bulletin board at the PGA championship at Dayton, Ohio 10 days ago. A total of 37 pros are reportedly bringing their own caddies a situation allowed at some tournaments and prohibited at others. The decision is made by the sponsors at each tournament based on the availability of experienced local caddies.

The PGA has taken a neutral stand. "We've got the best caddies in the world here," said Zaccag-nino, who said 150 experienced youngsters and former caddies from local courses were lined up for the tournament. A member of the club where the tournament is being played, Zaccagnino said that the club was considering not renewing its contract with the Jaycees for future tournaments if the professional touring caddies are not barred in future years.

Crittenden said it was blamed on a group of communist-oriented students but that "there has been an Anti-American feeling among the general public since the U.S. sent its Marines in to preserve order during the uprising of 1965." Crittenden said officials feared the communists will use Tuesday's final game for a major demonstration against the United States.

Tuesday's winner will be tournament champion. Pruitt Named Month's Best In WBA Poll SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) Adolph Pruitt, junior welterweight from Los Angeles, was named the Boxer of the Month by the World Boxing Association Monday. Arch Hindman, chairman of the WBA Rating Committee, said Pruitt was cited for his technical knockout over Rene Barrientos, of the Philippines. In the heavyweight division Greg Peralta of Argentina, was moved up to No. 6 in the ratings after his draw with Oscar Bona-vena of Buenos Aires.

Bill Joiner, of Cincinnati, who defeated Bob Cleroux of Montreal, moved into the top 10 for the first time. He was rated 10th. The monthly ratings, made on Aug. 18, still list Lionel Rose of Australia as the world bantamweight champion although he was deposed by Ruben Oli-vares of Mexico City last Friday.
