If the Bruins are They'll Do It Every TWO KIDS WANTED SEVEN BUCKS TO DO My DRIVE WAY" CAN YA IMAGINE THAT r Hubie White leads Villanova, to 12-0 record By Unlt.d Press International As Hubie White goes, so go Villanova's basketball fortunes. That's been the story so far of White's career at Villanova and his brilliant play during his sen ior year has catapulted the sixlh ranked Wilcats into one of the winningest teams in the nation with a 12-0 record. White's 30 points Wednesday night led Villanova to a 99-67 romp over Seton Hall at the Villanova Field House, knocking the Pirates from the ranks of the undefeated. White, a 6-3, 195-pounder, was sparkplug as a sophomore as vVillanova posted a 20-6 mark, brit was a disappointment along with the rest of the Wildcats last sea son when they won only 11 of 24 games. So far for the 1961-62 campaign White's shooting and all-around fine play has kept the Philadelphians undefeated, includ ing their rush in the Quaker City Tournament title last week. Against Seton Hall, which had vim us first four starU over rather easy opponents. White con- j nected on 13 of 20 attempts from the floor. White and George Left wich led Jack Kraft's hustling squad to a 51-29 halftime lead and Seton Hall had no chance acainst Villanova's pressing zone defense. i Lef'wjch added 22 points for the Wildcats while sophomore Nick Werkman topped the Pirates with 30 points. Seventh-ranked Duke, with Art Heyman scoring 36 points, also won easily, deieating visiting Penn State, 95-55: West Virginia, ranked No. 12, downed Virginia Military Institute. 101-79, at Mor gantown, W.

BAKER l Here January 5, away j February 3i About the only thing the Bulldogs really lack is that good "big man." and maybe even this serious shortage wont bother them. Coach Gary Ham mond's squad, with a host of tal ented veterans, upset a strong Borah IBoise, Idaho, squad last Saturday 42-39. And Borah does have that good big man a 6-8 sensation. Baker's strong point could well be defenfe. In posting that 5-3 record, the Bulldogs scor ed an average of 44.6 points per game against only 40 for their op ponents. Included was a 40-31 win over a good Ontario club, and a 42-27 victory over always-tough Time tl V. 1 tmm 9mm 4 Women's Major League (No standings available) This week's games: Smart Shop 4, Bend Heating 0: Wetle's 4, Healy's 0; Smoke Shop 4, Ladies of Elks 0: Medo-Land 3, Duncan Brothers 1.

The Bulldogs lost the first time out to La Grande, On tario and Borah came back with wins the second time around. And Baker has a senior jump- shooting whiz in Howard Logsdon, enough to scare any team. Logs don logged 325 points last season, and has been a particular head ache to Central Oregon teams. He's been getting good scoring help from Tom Staab, high against Borah with 16, and the always hustling Jack Head. But the height problem could hurt. Tallest are Charles Chapman (6-21 and reserve Tim Kerns 6-2. Logsdon, a capable rebounder, is 6-1. BEND The defending chanv ipion Bruins lost four of their five starters and eight of their first nine men.

One Special per family. THE 88c STORE - 424 Wall St., Bend, Oregon to be a contender, Chambers must share a large part of the load. The Bears also need a couple of others who can score in double figures. Pat Hendricks, a good shot when not pressed, scored 35 points in his first two games only 16 in his last four. The Bruins do have height. Along with 6-5 Chambers, Jan Bowlus (45 points i is 6-2, as is Lloyd Grant (40 points). New coach Chuck Hudson counts a lot on desire, and, with a little help in shooting department, Bend could win its share. Bruins have averaged 47.2 points per game, as compared with 50-plus (or opponents. HERMISTOX (away January 20. here February 16) When you talk about "in-and-out" clubs, Ilermiston leads all Uie rest. The Bulldogs, coached by eternal op timist George DeLap, didn't look too bad in losing to Pendleton and Walla Walla, looked so-so in beat ing A-2 Mac Hi and were strictly out of it in losing two games to tough David Douglas. But don't bet Ilermiston couldn't take the whole show. DeLap has five vet erans back from last year's third- place squad 6-3 Larry Crumc, 6-0 Larry Losness, 6-0 Ron Per kins, 5-11 Jack Miller and 6-3 Rich Frazier. All have played together since pce-wee days. Toss in 6-2 senior transfer Bud Stratton, a starter for The Dalles last season, and 6-2 jayvce star Ken Phillips. Crume and Losness have been the big point getters, but Miller, Per kins and Stratton have also enjoy ed a few good nights. Hermiston has averaged 48.9 points in seven games, with opponents hitting 392 for 56-point average. LA GRANDE (here January 6, away February 2) Every year wily coach Jack Rainey seems to come up with key replacements to fill the shoes of graduating sen iors. Runnerup the past two sea sons. La Grande lost Buddy Hil liard, Gary Vpruz and B a 1 n e Cater three of squad's leading scorers and reboundcrs in 1961. But, so far, two of slickest guards in conference Larry Nice and Dave Smith have once again made La Grande a strong con tender. Smith, expecially, has been poison. When La Grande walloped pre-season favorite Pen dleton 54-32, Smith led his mates with 15. In the return engagement at Pendleton, won by La Grande 62-61, Smith's quick hands, good speed and unerring eye were the ingredients tor a 25-poini proauc tion. In a 42-57 losing effort at On tario last Friday. Smith continued his spree with 23 tallies. Lack of height and inexperience couia on set this back court supremacy. If La Grande is to win a third straight trip to the A-l tourney. the Tigers win need more scor ing from the likes of 6-0 Don Les ter, 6-1 Ron Walk, 6-3 Tom Kinzer and 6-1 Dan Morris. Best bet is Lester, while a comer is Randy Dolven who helped boat Pen dleton with 13 points. Despite 5-3 record, Tigers have averaged fewer points than opponents 46.5 to 48. PENDLETON (away January 19, here February 17) On paper, traditionally strong Pendleton looks like it has everything. The Bucks have height, experience, cagy coach in Dale Warberg and strong bench. They were almost everybody's choice to win the In termountain Conference this sea son prior to pre-season play. Vet, their 4-4 record in non-counters was anything but impressive a combination of a sometimes-brilliant offense and a not-so-brilliant defense. The Bucks can score. They've averaged more than 57 points a game by far the best in the league offensively. But Pen dleton's big problem is that it has We Have Engaged An EXPERT PHOTOGRAPHER from Don's Studio, Meridian, Idaho To Be In Our Store MON. - TUES., JANUARY 8 - 9 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. given up even more points to op ponents who are averaging more than 60 tallies a game. Only loam to score less than 54 points against Pendleton this season was A-2 Mac Hi. Big shockers were La Grande's 54-32 win December 16 and Pasco's sizzling 88 48 triumph last Friday. But toss out those two games and Bucks still look like team to beat. For one thing, Pendleton has the best big man in the conference in 6-5 senior Ray Hughes, who has had scor ing nights like 18. 24, 18 and 20. Six-four junior Larry French has been scoring well of late (both Hughes and French missed the second Pasco game. Six-two jun ior Steve Bunker is a fine ath lete. Sophomores Dick Jones, 5-9, and Jack Baud, 5-5, beat out a TOP GUARD TEAM Veteran 5-9 seniors Larry Nice, left, and Dave Smith give La Grande Tigers the top pair of guards in Intermountain Conference this season. Smith, especially, has been torrid this season, scoring 25 and 23 points in last two outings. La Grande plays at Redmond Friday and moves to Bend Saturday.

And they hit only 9 for 56 (.161) in first loss to La Grande. PR1NEVILLE (away January 12, home February 9) New coach Wayne Liuuie has two play ers who can score with the best of 'em 5-11 Mike Love and 6-3 Dick Nicholas.

After Love and Nich olas, the Cowboy gunners have more misses than a villain in a TV horse opera. Six lliree Joe Myers, who dropped in 19 points in his first two games, managed only 15 in the next four. Miko Barrow is a possibility, but his lack of height makes it tough to get open.

(UPI) The final step in the electronic record ing and computing of Thorough bred wagering has been taken at Santa Anita with the installation of a digital computer to deter mine the payoffs, the American Totalisator Company announced today. Formerly the "tote" equipment did everything after a ticket was purchased except determine Uie amount of the payoff, which was worked out manually by a crew of from six to nine men. Oscar C. Levy, vice president of Uie company, unveiled Uie new equipment, consisting of a Clary DE-60 computer linked in with Uie tote equipment which records the wagers and figures Uie prob able odds. In one minute, 24 seconds after the tote board closes with Hie start of a race, Uie computer has gone through an intricate scries of operations and has all Uie in formation necessary to announce what each horse in Uie money will pay. The only manual opera tion consists of turning throe knobs to Uie numbers of Uie horses that finished first, second and Uurd. As soon as that Is done, Uie computer records Uie win, place and show prices, the returns on $6 combination tickets and $15 combinations, Uie payoffs of $5 and $10 tickets and then runs an automatic check on itself to prove no mistake was made. During Uie lime from (he slarl of Uie race until Uie machine is ready to record Uie payoffs, it types out Uie total parimuluel pool on Uie race, deducts Uie track and stale's commission, computes the breakage or Uie odd cents Uiat are involved in Uie payoff and records Uie amount wagerea on eacti norse tor win, place and show. 56.3 per game to opponents. REDMOND (here January 27 away February 231 Coach Bud Kauffman's hustlers again lad height, but 6-1 Ed Sturza can re bound with the best of 'em. Big gest problem so far (along will, perennially height disadvantage , is Redmond's lack of consistent scoring. Sturza has had only two good scoring nights.

Most recent win. a 68-tw overtime vic tory over a good Madras club, could prove great morale booster. In seven games Redmond aver aged 4."). 3 points per game, com pared with average of 40.1 posted by opponents. THE DALLES (hero January 13. away Feb. 10) Coach Don Martin, in his second year, has a club Uiat's tough to figiuc. After playing oorly m first three games. The Dalles gunners sud denly got hot and hit at .517 clip in drubbing Parkrosc 69-30. Spark plug guard Jerry Piland led the assult with 17. Lorcn Schachcr and Mark Jensen both scored 10, and 6-3 Dennis Anghilanto contri buted nine. The Braves cashed in on 31 for 60 from Uie field, and matched their red-hot field work with a stout defensj. Earlier, Parkrosc had beaten The Dalles 43-41. But in this season's weak league. Indians, off Uieir big win over Parkrose. are capable of beating any team in Uie league on a hot night. String a few hot nights together, and Indians could find Uiemselves in hot pennant race.
