CHADAKOIN LEAGUE:

One-Division Set For

Junior Highs

rMg Pay im Sports']

By BOB JONES The Chadakoin Valley Junior

High School Basketball League returns fo one division this year with court action starting Fri­day by the eight participating schools.

Last year, with nine, schools on the roster, the league was set up in two divisions with Jef­ferson taking the crown on a 11-1 record for Division One and Dunkirk (t-2) topping Division Two. Frewsburg has dropped out of the league this season.

Defending champion Jeffer­son, which has had the title three times in the past four years, anticipates a tough schedule. Coach Don Brugge has his five starters from last year's squad providing illness doesn't keep two of them from answering the opening buzzer.

Johnnie Albano, who saw ac­tion on the first squad last sea­son, will be a starter along with Steve Kindland, Bill Brown, Greg Peterson and Larry John. Even though the first strin does not have too much height, the bench depth includes some six footers that are gaining ex­perience.

Two Regulars Lincoln has two of its regu­

lars returning and will be build­ing the team around Donn Johnston and Bob Schmidt, who were top gunners. Mike Spetz and Roger Loop with limited action are probable starters with the fifth position a toss-up between John Jonethis, Tim Maggio and Ed Nichols.

According to Coach Mike Zan-ghi, the first three games will be the tough ones with South­western, Washington and Jeffer­son on their opening roster.

Tony Milioto, coaching the St. James quintet, has high hopes for bis team as they have good height, especially the post posi­tion with 6'1" Fred Sanden. Oth­er starters will be Frank Ba-sile, Tony Prinzi and Tom Con-ti with Tony SanFilippo and Randy Ingrao scrambling for the fifth spot.

Jimmie Cusimanc would have been a starter but because of a leg operation will miss the first part of the season. The depth Will include Dave Cirincione, Pat Marino, Anthony Ingrao

id John Tulga. 12-Man Tojan Squad

S o u t h w e s t e r n Central, coached by Gunnie Anderson, will open with a 12 man squad that has both experience and depth. With seven first-string­ers, the starting selection will be difficult. These are: six-foot-two Tommie House, Jack Carl­son, Doug Swansea, Van Eck-lund, Steve Gifford, John Cal-j kins and Tom Hutchinson.

Even though guard Jim Colby Is the only returning starter for the Washington "five," Coach Komo Tane is of the opinion that it is an improved club, with both height and weight Fugene Johnson, at 8*2, will probably be at the center position, with Charles Kratts and Tim Hart' man scrambling for on* of the forward slots. Other selections as starters are Dennis Turner, Dennis Thompson and 219 pound Bernie Jones who is very agile.

Experienced Starters St. Peter *V Paul, coached by

Father Keen, has an experi­enced starting line-up with Tony Scarpino, Paul Martina Jeff Cull, Rich Radack and Bob Northway. Leading the way for depth in the bench will be Steve Gilbert, Mark Johnson, Greg

Wilkin, Angelo Ferrera and Dennis O'Neil.

Runner-up in Division One last year, Falconer will not have any returning starters. Coach Bill Race who will be building his team around Craig Paterniti, said that even though the team lacks experience, it has the height and should shape up as the season progresses.

Dale Rublee and Colon West-erdahl, with limited experience, will be probable starters along with Denny Schwab and Joe Franchina. Bill Hitchcock, who is a good rebounder, and four boys with good height—Leonard Brainard, Bob Pierce, Mike Lawson and Bob Smith show the greatest promise in the sec­ondary.

Information on Dunkirk will be forthcoming in a few days from Coach Charles Keib, who is making his debut at the post this season.

The 12-game schedule in the Chadakoin Valley Junior High Basketball League is played with modified rules using man to man defense rather than zone defense; full court press only in the last two minutes and a player may pick up an oppo­nent at the ten second line. The games with seven minute quar­ters start at 4 p.m. Jan.-7—Washington at S t James

The site was strange but the scene was familiar.

Cincinnati and St. Louis played a National Basketball Association game at Memphis, Tenn., Monday night and the Royals came out ahead 130-114 as Oscar Robertson worked his usual magic on the basketball court.

Robertson scored a game-high 37 points and also added some key assists to help the Royals climb within two games of the Eastern Division leading Boston Celtics.

Cincinnati jumped off to a sl­id first-quarter lead, only to be outscored 19-1 at the start of the second period. But Robert­son rallied the Royals to the front again and they held on. Jerry Lucas had 22 points for Cincinnati while Cliff Hagan topped the Hawks with 30.

Saban Meets 'Boys' Today

Takes Coaching Post At Maryland

By BOB SERLING United Press International

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (UPI) —Lou Saban, the American Football League's Coach of the Year and the University of Maryland's man of the hour, wasted no time today taking over the sagging football fortunes of the once powerful Terrapins.

Handed a four-year contract as Maryland's new head coach Monday, Saban promptly called a meeting of the football squad for today "to get acquainted with the boys.'*

Saban, who resigned as head coach of the AFL champion Buffalo Bills Sunday, was introduced to the press at a news conference here Monday. He twice drew loud applause with blunt answers to some needling questions.

Reminded that Maryland, once a national powerhouse, had let its recruiting lag behind most big schools, Saban was asked how he felt about the practice.

"If a man wants to exist in football, he has to recruit—and we'll go after any player in the country," Saban snapped.

Another burst of applause greeted his answer to the question:

"Will you abandon the T formation?"

"Yes," he replied without hesitation. T h i s apparently sealed the fate of the con­troversial offensive system his predecessor, T o m N u g e n t , made famous before losing his job.

Saban's remark about re­cruiting indicated he will have the full support of the university's president, Dr. Wil­son H. Elkins, in rebuilding the Terps. So did his contract—a four-year pact starting at $22,500 the first year and rising to $25,000 by the end of the third year.

By LEONARD A. GRANATO UPI Sports Writer

Duke beat the shifting zone press of Perm State Monday night with the weapon it is supposed to stop—the fast break.

The zone press ideally puts two defenders on the man with the ball while the other three fall back to block off the lines through which his passes must travel. The idea is to slow the progress of the ball down the court to give the defense time to set up.

But Duke's Blue Devils, who maintained their No. 1 ranking in the UPI board of coaches ratings this week, were too fast with their passes for the Nittany Lions' zone. Stymied for only a short time, Duke quickly built an eight-point lead over the cold-shooting visitors and romped to an 83-58 victory.

Jack Marin led the Blue Devils with 25 points, Bob Lewis added 21 and Bob Verga chipped in 17 to the cause. Tim Reed' 16 points were high for Penn State. The Blue Devils, who led 47-27 at halftime, outshot the visitors 45 per cent

to 29 per cent and outrebounded them 72-51. Penn State hit only nine field goals in the first half.

Kentucky Wins Second-ranked Kentucky had

trouble with a pesky St. Louis outfit before pulling away and winning 80-70. The Billikens stayed with the powerful Wildcats throughout the first half and led 41-39 after being behind 39-37 at intermission.

Pat Riley led Kentucky with 24 points, many of them coming in the closing minutes. Louie

Dampier scored 20 for the Wildcats. Rich Parks topped the Billikens scorers with 22.

Bradley, the seventh-ranked team, ran away from St. Thomas 99-52. Ed Jackson scored 21 points to pace the Braves and got help from Joe Allen (20) and Alex McNutt (17) in the lop-sided contest. Fred Korba's 17 were high for St. Thomas. !

Bradley hit 59 per cent from the floor and outrebounded St. Thomas 42-18.

Kansas, tied for ninth spot in the rankings, had to wipe out a five-point Colorado halftime advantage, but stormed to a 69-55 Big Eight Conference opener. Walt Wesley, Del Lewis and Al Lopes each scored 13 points to pace the Jayhawk attack, which shot a blistering 61 per cent in the second half after a cold first stanza.

Creighton used superior re

irebounders with II of the team's total of 54. Syracuse got only 31 rebounds. George Hickers led all scorers with 28 points for Sryacuse, all on field goals. Dave Bing, Syracuse's 31-point-a-game scorer, was held to 20. Wally Anderzunas of Creighton led his team with 23 points.

Loyola of Chicago, the nation's highest-scoring college outfit, had five men in double figures for a 91-68 breeze past Indiana. Jim Coleman and Doug Wardlaw each had 18 points to pace Loyola, which has averaged 101 points per game in the first 11 games.

Paul Morenz sank two free throws with 16 seconds left to ease Wisconsin past Marquette 73-72, Mike Hammond pumped in 20 points to help Ohio University to a 70-61 victory over the touring Polish national team in an exhibition, superior rebounding gave Detroit a 68-57 triumph over West Texas State and Utah found the road still rocky by losing to Miami in Florida 88-87. Utah started its bounding ability to upset and

humiliate Syracuse 103-87. Neil present tour with a 7-0 record Johnson led the Creighton and is now 7-3.

9—Parallel Turn By SKEETER WERNER

Ski School Director Mt. Werner, Colo. Written for NEA

Every skier has as an ulti­mate goal, the technique of par­allel skiing. All exercises and lessons to this point have been guided toward skiing with the skis together.

The heel push was learned in the early stages. The down-up motion was learned in the stem Christie stage.

Perhaps in learning the par­allel christie there has to be a little more emphasis on these movements.

You also learned a christie into the hill. Try it again. From the traverse position, go into an up motion, shifting weight to the outside ski.

Your inside ski is advanced. Then sink and lift up and for­ward. Release the edges and displace the heels downhill as you come to a stop. Now sink HH again and set the edges to fin­ish the turn.

Now try this on a gentle slope heading straight down the fall line. Then cross the fall line and add the preparation which you learned in the stem christie.

Skeeter Werner heads into the fail line during a paral­lel turn.

Chum's Winner In Tail Open

Waite, Wheeler Scoring Leaders

The shooting of Jerry Waite and George Wheeler paced Waite's Timberjacks to an 80-52 win over Chum's Sunoco in Taft Rec Open Basketball action last night.

Waite led the field with 21 points, including 15 in the sec­ond half during which the Tim­berjacks ran away from a slim 35-29 halftime lead.

Wheeler finished with 20 while mates John Swanson and Don Crandall had 13 and 12, respec­tively. Swanson scored eight of his in that big second half.

Chum's, missing the services of Al Muck, was paced by Jim Muck who scored 19 and Dick Bradigan who connected on eight from the floor for 16.

Last night's win at Jamestown High gives the Cassadaga crew a 6-1 record.

If talented youth means anything, baseball men who claim there is imbalance between the American and National Leagues, favoring the latter, may have to backtrack a little during the next few years. The official American League pitching averages show Sam McDowell of Cleveland, who will be in Jamestown for the Men's Club Sports Dinner Jan. 24, heads up the youngest top 15 in history. McDowell, at 23, is one of the youngest to ever win the league's earned runs crown. He topped the AL with his 2.18 ERA.

Oldest man in the top 15 is George Brunei of the Califor­nia Angels at St, and the average age of the top 15 cham­pionship qualifiers is slightly above 25.

The Bills' staff of Johnny Ma-zure, Jerry Smith and Collier all fill that requirement, espe­cially Collier All three were re­ported interested in taking over from Saban, now football coach at the University of Maryland.

McDowell, who almost finished the season as a 22-year-old (his 23rd birthday arrived just before the campaign closed) kept his earned run average down with his strikeout ball. Oddly enough, it is often the other way—the man with the high per centage of whiffs sometimes serves up enough homer balls to keep him away from the ERA leadership. McDowell fanned 325 in 273 innings, which is an average of 11 for each nine innings he worked.

Mudcat Grant, the Minnesota Twins' regular season and World Series ace, missed the top 15 with his 3.30 ERA, but at 30 years of age is still in his prime. Mudcat led the league in vic­tories, 21; percentage, .750, and shutouts, 6, so it appears the American was truly the young man's league in 1965. Just what that indicates for 1966 and the years to follow is problematical, but if it is true youth must be served, the American League should have some strong representation.

Packers' Lombardi Starts Planning For 1966

1«*%. Ratio 14.

By GENE HINTZ United Press International

GREEN BAY, Wis. (UPI) — General Manager and Head Coach Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers was late for work Monday. But who cared?

He had just completed his most satisfying season, he said.

The sometimes fiery, dicta­

torial boss of the National Football League's new cham­pions strolled into his office about 16:30 a.m., an hour and half later than usual.

"I had to get a good night's sleep," Lombardi said. "It's the first time in six months I've been able to sleep.

"Gentlemen. I'm sorry I'm late," he told reporters who

gathered to question him further about Green Bay's 23-12 victory over Cleveland Sunday and about his future plans. "A little wine last night," he said laughingly, referring to a victory party he held at his home.

Even though he was late, Lombarid's mental gears were clicking furiously, planning on how to keep the championship in Green Bay, the mighty mite community of the NFL in 1966.

'"We'll have a meeting today with the coaches to start to lay out plans for 1966," Lombardi said. "Then we're going to coaching clinics and then I'm taking a vacation.'1

Sec Play Films The first task, Lombardi

said, would be to "breakdown" films and "we'll start working on our opposition immediate­ly." Even while Lombardi was

talking some of his assistants were watching films in a nearby office.

But Lombardi admitted there would be time for a vacation and he wants to take one in February "for two or three weeks, maybe a month."

Lombardi repeated his as­sessment of the Packers as being a team of character in 1965. He said it was possibly "my most satisfying season."

"Character is a little bit of everything," Lombardi said. "Without it you don't amount to a hill of beans. With it you can make a good team great."

Lombardi said the game Sunday went "exactly the way we planned it.

"It's a most satisfying thing to be able to have a plan and have it work — without changes."

Long Pass Planned Asked whether the game plan

included a long pass early to Carroll Dale, which went for the first touchdown, Lombardi said "Definitely. We want to go for the big one. There are people who say Bart Starr can't throw long. But I'd like to have a nickel for every time he's thrown deep this year and hit."

"Probably the best thing for us was that we only had two days to get ready and we didn't have a chance to out-think ourselves," Lombardi said.

Questioned about Sunday's bitter winter weather in Green Bay and whether championship games should be scheduled for better climates, Lombardi said:

"I've got a very strong feeling, the game should be played in the home park. The people who supported the team should get a chance to come out. I'm certainly not interested in playing in a strange area."
