Drill The Bloodhounds staged their final workout at Memorial Gym last night against recent alumni and Texas Southmost College cag- ers. Zavaletta said he was highly pleased with the session, "We moved the ball well and Ihe mistakes we made are things Ihat can be corrected I'd say we're ready as we'll ever be," he added St. Joe will lake ten hoys to the state tournament, but TC1L rules allow only nine ol them to play hi one game.

Zavalelta indicated his team was in fine physical condition--find spirit was running high. They there's a tough job ahead but they've got one thing in mind --that 1 Regular I.lneup St. Joe will open with its regular starting line-up: 6-4 Walter Plilt at center. Lupe Caiml and Oscar Villarreal at forwards and Felipe Leal and Frank de la Garza at guards. Canul, a first team All-Slater last season, has scored 396 points in IS games for a 27.0 average.

De la Garza and Villarreal also were recognized on last year's All.State team. De la Garza, who along with Canul, started on the 'Hounds two previous state championship clubs, is second in scoring with 110 points in IT games.

Zavaletla plans to use Abe Ledezma and Joe Garcia as alternating guards. Otner reserves making the trip are Ray Friedman, Sergio Barrcda and Orlando Saucedo, The Bloodhounds mentor's biggest worry is his team's lack of experience. "We've got only three hoys you car call tournament veterans and some of the schools we may play have had a Ipt more games this year." On the good side of the ledge, Zavaleila is confident the 'Hounds hall handling and improved shooting will pay off "There's no reason why we can't win if we play the brand of hall capable of." The Class A tournament also will have a consolation bracket. Nine schools--four ot them from Houston--will be battling for Uie Class AA title.
