Central has two sets of identi- cal twins on its basketball team Petrinos, Pat and Mike, and the Davises, Jim and Jack. Otto Simon, Central coach, admits he sometimes finds himself talking to one Petrino when he should be talking to the other or telling one Davis what to do when he should be telling the other. "I've been coaching the Pe- trinos for four years and I can tell them apart pretty well, but I still have my troubles telling one Davis from the other," says Simon.

It has been suggested that if one of the Davis boys or one of the Petrinos is in foul trouble at halftime, they switch uniforms during intermission and WMO'S WHO? That's what Butte Central's opponents have been asking themselves this season. From left are Jack Davis, Pat Petrino, Jim Davis and Mike Petrino. Mike and Pat, like Jim and Jack, are identical twins. Butte Central Coach Otto Simon admits he sometimes has a hard time telling them apart. (Staff photo by Terry Mclnnes) play the second half incognito.

That wouldn't work with the Petrinos since Mike is a southpaw and Pat is righthanded, but it could possibly work with the Davises. The Petrinos, both lettermen, have been known to fool opposing players a time or two. "Once in a while you'll see two players covering one of the Petrinos while the other is unguarded," Simon noted. I imagine coaches tell their players to keep an eye on the numbers and not the faces." How do Central players manage to tell Mike from Pat or Jim from Jack? "They can tell them apart better than I can," says Simon. The competition is keener than ordinary between the Petrino twins and the two Davises.

"Mike and Pat are constantly trying to outdo each other," Simon related. "The same is true of the Davises. The competition has made better basketball players out of them." The Petrinos, both 5-8 seniors, are starters. The Davises, like the Petrinos are seniors. They stand 6-1.

Jim is a starter and Jack is one of Simon's top notch reserves. When the Davises and the Pe- trinos are in a game at the same time, and it has happened, everybody officials, coaches and fans alike become number watchers. Mike and Pat are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent J.

Petrino, 2612 Yale. Jim and Jack are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Jack B. Davis, 3120 Quincy.

The elder Davis and his brother Chuck played their high school basketball at Dillon. Chuck later played for the University of Montana, Missoula.

Duke makes it two in row over the top-ranked Bruins LEWIS GETS TWO The ball Is up for grabs, but not for long as Mike Lewis (42) retreived it and stuffed it through for two points as Duke upended UCLA, 95-74, in Charlotte, N.C., Saturday night.

(AP) Duke's basketball team completed its two-night destruction of top-ranked UCLA by burying the two-time national champion 94-75 Saturday night. The sixth-ranked Blue Devils had even an easier time on the neutral court of the Charlotte Coliseum than they did Friday when they won on their own court by 16 points.

Jack Marin, scoring 14 of his game high 23 poinls in the first half, and Bob Vcrga, with 22 points, were the scoring leaders for Duke. Duke scored the game's first to. points, rued to 11-9 lead and then lost some of its early sharpness to close the half with a 44-37 margin. Any thoughts of a Bruin comeback after the intermission were quickly dispelled. Duke'f V-Boys, Verga and Steve Vacen- dak, ignited a Blue Devil surge in the first 8Vi minutes of the last half during which Duke outscored UCLA 26-9 to take a lead.

Duke, stunned by South Carolina earlier in the week, was not awed by the famed UCLA press. Poise, skilled ball-handling and accurate shooting were keynotes of Duke's victory, fourth Copperheads roll over Saints, 64-50 Anaconda pulled away from Anaconda Central, 64-50, in Smelter City Saturday night.
