DELAWARE COUNTY (PA.) DAILY TlMiiS Friday, March 1970 O'Hara 's McGilvery helps Textile gain national titlq By GENE GOMOLKA Dally Times Sports Writer PHILADELPHIA-Till': CRITICISM most frequently leveled at the Catholic league brand of basketball is a "it's too disciplined." It's one way of saying the coach makes all the decisions all the lime. It's also a kinder of saying the ball players a incapable of thinking for TBoth statements are said by those who obviously prefer a differmeiil style of ball. Some college coaches who prefer wide-open, run-shoot, or long bomb basketball frequently ignore the Catholic League in their search for material. OTHERS, LIKE Philadelphia Textile's coach Herb Magee, will take the disciplined athlete from any league before all others. "If a player can understand and execute plays according to the way we want them done, lie becomes an immediate asset because he develops an unselfish attitude.

"He learns that assists, play-making and rebounds arc just as important as scoring," Magee said after his Textile Rnms made a triumphant return from Evansville, Ind. as the nation's No. 1 NCAA College Division team Saturday. LEADING THE a through their 29-2 season wis McGilvery, a Cardinal O'Hara 1966 grad who was recruited by (then) head coach Jack McKinncy and Ma.gec. Because Textile docs not give scholarships that include room and board, the school recruits locally.

"I scout the city teams and the Catholic League and Gary Rupert works the suburban public and parochial leagues," said. The recruitment pattern produced two other Textile varsity players from Cardinal. O'Hara and one Monsiftnor Bonner. I I MCGILVERY from O'Hara are the Lions' 1968 All-Delco Lou Ferro and Steve Maiocco. Mike Lynam, a 1966 Bonner alumnus, was Textile's sixth-man.

John Portland and Jack Moughan, also from O'Hara, are on Textile's freshman team. "All of these men fit in with our 'continuity offense' style of play," Magee said. "Sure, we'll take advantage of the fast-break but if we can't make the right pass at the right time we evolve into a deliberate style. "This is our style and we've been successful," said Magee in the understatement of the year. MAGEE WATCHED McGilvery at O'Hara and noticed his desire above all else.

He also noted Jim as a potential high-scorer, McGilvery led Textile in both scoring and rebounding in this, his senior, year and scored over 1,000 career points. "Jim always had his eye on the open man. He made 1,486 career points Hauer rates 3rd on list MIKE HAUER, honored forward on the St. Joseph's College basketball team, has concluded his collegiate career as the third leading career scorer in the college's basketball history. iThe 6-314 resident of Sharon Hill scored 1,486 career points a three-year 19.0 scoring average.

Only i Anderson and Dan Kelly scored more points than Hauer who also grabbed 976 career rebounds for a 12.5 average. Hauer, who has been drafted Philadelphia 76ers of National Basketball Association, has been called the "best 6-3 major college forward in the country" by St. Joseph's coach Jack McKinney. A three-time All-Big Five selection, Hauer was also named to the Middle Atlantic Conference all-star basketball teani each year--twice as a first team selection and once on the second unit. He was also named to the Associated Press All Pennsylvania team as a junior and is expected to repeat this year.

i THE GRADUATE 0 Bonner High School had his best collegiate scoring game against Indiana University as a junior when he scored 36 points. Hauer has been named to the all tournament teams in the Quaker City Tournament and the Lobo Classic. In addition he has been named "tb numerous all opponent teams and as a sophomore a share of the Michael Saxe'-Memorial Award as most valuable player in Big Five competition. He has been co-captain of the St. Joseph's beam for two years and he won the Hawks most valuable player award as a sophomore and shared it as a junior.

He is expected to capture the MVP award again this season. Hauer expects to continue his playing career as a professional in the NBA or in Europe following his graduation in May. Square' Wooden succeeds By DAN BERGER ssocialed Press Sports Write'r LOS ANGELES (AP) --The caching philosophy of John is couched in old-fash- MIKE HAUER Hawk hero Harry Booth gets St. Joe irosh post i PHILADELPHIA (Joseph's College basketball Jack McKinney has iannounced two changes in his 'coaching staff.

To 'some it might sound square." To others, unsophis- cated.

But with it, John Wooden has rought UCLA four consecutive ational collegiate basketball ties, six in the last seven years and in 22 years of tutoring bas- etball teams at Westwood has ever had a losing season. The key words in the philoso- hy of Wooden are probably fundamentals," "hard work" nd "teamwork." To these ends, drills his players in almost ote-like fashion for the first weeks of practice. Before tie Bruins take the court against opponent, they rarely see basketball and when they do 's to drill on fundamentals. UNDAMENTALS FIRST No matter how many all-city all-state high school or jun- or college starts he has on his quad, the first and last word a Wooden team is fundamen- al. "When the players came out or the team, I tell them they may not be the best team in he country but they'll be the jest conditioned team in the ountry," says the 59-year-old ormer English teacher.

'When the season starts, I want the players to have tbe confidence that they can do everything they have to fundamentally correct. And I want hem to know they are the best- conditioned players on the court. gives them a positive mental attitude and I always want my players playing positive basketball." As for teamwork, Wooden doesn't use the word. But he does tell the players where their est shots are. And when they are.

NEVER ASKED Six-foot-eight center Steve says Wooden "never asked us to subordinate ourselves. But when we came down court in practice, if we took a shot we shouldn't have, coach say, 'That's not your and we'd know we'd better not it the next time. "And if we came down court and had a good shot and didn't take it, he'd tell us 'That's your Tli at slow-and easy approach to the game is backed with a rigorous training program that Wooden follows as gospel. Each day, he walks out to aractice sessions with a small index card. On that card are the type of drills that will be run that afternoon, along with the time he plans to spend on each.

He doesn't vary from that schedule, which he has planned the quiet of his office. DONTMIND AT ALL Asked what his reaction is to comments his team is al- Tom McMillen, the 6-foot-ll Mansfieid High School center who could be the No. 1 scholastic player in the nation, highlights the 1969-70 Associated Press All-Pennsylvania Scholastic Basketball team announced today. Sports writers, and sports directors of television and radio stations voted for three all-star teams and a list of honorable mentions. College basketball coaches and their scouts were consulted to help with the selections.

Joining McMillen on the first five are Henry Williams of Andre McCarter of Philadelphia's Overbrook; Al Hmiel of the class PIAA champion Beaver Falls team, and Ricky Coleman of Schenley in Pittsburgh. On the second team are Bill Knight of Braddock, Mickey Martin of Baldwin, Ray Edelman of Haverford, Jerry Karwoski of West Scranton and Schenley's Clarence Hopson. Edelman, who led Haverford Lo the PIAA Class A state finals, was previously named to the United Press International All- State first team. The 6-2 Ford forward set 10 new school records during his three years of scholastic play and was the leading scorer in Delaware County with 607 points this season. Edelman's career total of 1,443, his ability to shoot over taller men from the corners, and his exciting drives down the key made him a top college prospect.

The first to convince Edelman to sign was Kentucky's basketball baron Adolph Rupp. Edelman signed i Kentucky Wednesday. McMillen, a 210-pounder who wants to play on the 1972 U-S. Olympic Basketball Team and later plans to be a surgeon, was an overwhelming choice. The straight A student broke the state all-time career scoring record of 3,174 points held by Ron Krick of Reading.

McMillen wound up with 3,608 points. Some 200 colleges maybe more--are after McMillen. who scored 1,288 points this season while shooting 78 per cent from the field and 82 per cent from the foul line. He took down more than half of his team's total rebounds in a 27-game schedule. There are many who believe Williams of Norristown is a better all around player than McMillen.

The G-foot-2 junior scored 534 points in 24 games. He now has 974 in two seasons. Williams can shoot rebound and set up plays. He has moves that most college players envy. Williams carried Norristown to the District 1 final, losing to Haverford, the eventual class A runnerup.

Andre McCarter, a 6-foot-3 junior guard, led Overbrook to the Philadelphia city title. He Beaver Falls to a 25-4 season and the Class A championship. He featured a soft left handed jump shot from the baseline that was almost unstoppable. Schenley coach Spencer Watkins said of Hrniel after his team was eliminated by Beaver Falls. "Hmiel made the shots that beat us." Coleman of Schenley also Is coveted by a number of college coaches, although he has a year nine assists in tho title game against Tennessee," Magee said.

Lynam was the Rams starting guard before he was replaced by Shivery. "He was the first player we used when we needed help on the floor and he's a 'thinker' on the bench," Magee said. "He'd offer suggestions to me and if I agreed with him, we'd give try." MAIOCCO, A sophomo're, became eligible in February after spending his first year at West Chester State. "I saw Steve in the Narberth summer leagues'! I knew he had the talent but I didn't approach him because he said he was going to West Chester. When he later said he wanted to transfer fto Textile we were pleased;" Magee said.

Lou Ferro, who blossomed as a leaping center for O'Haira as a senior after a so-so junior year, got Magee's attentiorifat the Aronomink Swim Club where Magee works in the summer as director of recreation. Ferro led the Rams' fresh team last season in both scoring and rebounding but after injuring his back in a minor auto mishap early this year was unable to play for Textile as a sophomore. averaged games, Paul could other 15.2 but points his in 24 coach, Ward, says McCarter have scored 25. "The members of the team weren't that great, and McCarter made them better. He was our catalyst.

He made everyone go." Hmiel was the McCarter of Beaver Falls. The G-foot-4 senior scored 590 points as he led Hansell must rebuild track dfnasty at PMC of eligibility remaining. The 6-foot-2 junior averaged 21 points a game, handed out an average of nine assists and despite his size grabbed six rebounds a game. Watkins describes him as extremely quick. "I don't know what I'd do if he wasn't coming back next year," says the Schenley coach.

Leading the list of players receiving honorable mention was Edelman's teammate Steve Joachim. Joachim, who was named to both the UPI and AP first-team All-state in football, was the second leading scorer in Delaware County basketball this season. Among others i i honorable mention were Roman Catholic's Jim O'Brien, Barry and Gary White of Avon Grove, Sari Williams of Woodrow Wilson, Kevin Furey of Bishop Shanahan, Dennis Caldwell of Xibbins in Philadelphia and Cevin Kane of Cardinal Dougherty. "We're counting on Lou's recovery. He can jump higher than any 6-2 player I know," Magee said.

PICKING HIS a comes easy to Magee, a good prospect for small college coaching honors. Himself a 1963 graduate of Textile with a Masters from St. Joseph's College, Herb set several scoring records still on the book's. But, as Magee will tell you, the first word in his vocabulary is "discipline." ready being chosen to win next year's championship, Wooden "I don't mind at all. I'd ike to have other teams go out on the court knowing we're best.

The pressure is on them." He doesn't scout opponents very much worry about what we do, I don't worry about what the other team does" -and emphasizes that winning is only part of the game. So concerned is he about his players, he constantly refers to those whose character was improved by the game. Sometimes, after talking with Wooden, one gets the impression he's rather lose a championship game than lose the respect of his players. Discipline is his byword and if a player steps out of line regardless of who he is -Wooden doesn't hesitate in disciplining. DIDN'T LIKE IT "When I pulled Sidney Wicks out of our second game with LJSC," Wooden said, "he didn't like it very much.

He was upset with me and understandably so. But when I sent, him back in, he really played a game. Now, that typo of discipline not work with another player. "That means you really have to know your players. I think I have a reasonably close rein tionship with our players.

We may not always agree on the way to do things, but we understand each other." CHESTER Coach George' Hansell calls it "the end of an era." The "era" lasted five years. During that time, Hansell's PMC Colleges track team was the finest in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Among Cadet accomplishments during the period were: An overall dual meet record of 39-3. An undefeated string of 27 dual meet victories. Three MAC championships and two runner-up trophies, including one year when the Cadets missed the title by a single point.

Three Pop Haddleton mile relay championships at the Penn Relays. Now, according to Hansell, the era is over. It ended with the graduation of three sensational performers Ted Woolery, Ron Sayers and Rick Pfeffer who had powered PMC for three grand seasons, piling up more than a dozen gold MAC medals in the process. Woolery (440 and intermediate hurdles), Sayers (mile and two- mile) and Pfeffer (100 and 220) usually were good for 30 points every meet. And when Woolery and Pfeffer ran legs on the mile and sprint relays, respectively, Hansell could count on an additional 10 points.

"That trio was the best we've ever had at PMC." Hansell said, a little sadly. "It will be impossible to replace them. They were tremendous competitors. "But we're not quite ready to roll over and play dead." he said. "We have some fine material returning boys with real potential and in sophomore Richie Weaver, we have a boy who should make the entire conference sit up and take notice." Weaver, whose long anticipated debut as a tootball player was delayed and detracted from DAVE SCHWARTZ sprint hopeful considerably by an ankle injury last fall, is expected to show his heels to everybody thi spring.

AS a freshman, he shatterec college varsity records for the 120 highs (14.2) and 440 intermediates (53.2). He also would be a threat in the 100, 220. sprint relay and mile relay. If his wind holds out, he could be the greatest one-man team since Jim Thorpe. Other returners who are to consistently pile up include points i Gondek, potentially a fine quarter-miler; Dave Schwartz, moving out from behind Pfef- shodow in the springs; Joe Jones, a fine pole vaulter; Bob Bauer, among the better triple jumpers in the conference; and Jack DeVries, who has shown great improvement in the weights.

'Everybody is looking for us to be down this year," Coach Hansell said. "We don't have a lot of quantity, but we do have quality. We just might surprise someone before the season is over." Hansell, now in his 24th year as head track coach, has an overall log of 97-41-1 including perfect seasons in '54, '61, '66 and '67 and three straight MAC titles from through '67.
