10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, December 25, 195S NEW COACH FOR IRISH-Joe Kuharich (left) head coach of the Washington Red skins and former Notre Dame guard, has been named Notre Dame's new coach to succeed Terry Brennan. Kuharich was released from his long-term contract with the Washington Redskins by owner George Preston Marshall (center) who immedi ately promoted assistant coach Mike Nixon (right) to Kuharich's old job. Medford to Depend On Hustle, Drive Medford high's Black Tor nado basketball squad will be missing a key man in Lowell Dean this weekend as the lo cal quintet takes the home floor against Corvallis Friday and Saturday nights. Dean will be out because of a strained back and will miss 'Jie week end series entirely, Coach Frank Roelandt report ed. John Harvey may take Dean's place. " The local squad has shown good spirit, hustle and drive so far this season and during this week's practice. However, Corvallis is-reported as a very scrappy ball club with plen ty of "ran and go." Roelandt figures his squad is about the same height as the Corvallis team. Corvallis uses the zone de fense at times. However, Roe landt won't try to match a hift to the zone coverage. Such a defense tends to make players lazy, he said. Medford high has used the man for man defense for nine years end will stick with it, he added. Get Late Start ' The locals got a late start this season but hope to make up for it with plenty of hustle and drive. They may need this hustle and drive to combat Corvallis sophomore George Green, re ported as one of the most Newell Building New Cage Dynasty San Francisco -flJPD- Pete Newell, who first put Univer sity of San Francisco on the basketball map, is in the pro cess of building a new dyn asty at University of Cali fornia. The handsome, 'greying have much to offer in the way of competition this year after losing most of the stars, from teams that won the last two Pacific Coast Conferencec championship. But the early-season rec ord shows five wins against a single loss. The defeat was at the hands of Kansas State; the victories over Wisconsin, Iowa, St. Mary's, USF and San Jose State. One of the finer defensive tacticians in the business, Newell's clubs usually hold their opposition to around the 50-point mark. But that does ' not mean his team doesn't score well. Against Wisconsin, the Golden Bears rolled to a 68-53 win; against Iowa, the boys from Berkeley 71-52. Work With Imhoff One of Newell's big fortes is patience. This year he has been going along with a tow ering, 6-10 beanpole named Darrall Imhoff, a junior from San Gabriel, Calif., at center. Last year on ths squad, the only thing Imhoff had to of fer was height. The lad didn't play much his senior year in high school and his fresnman year at Cal because of injur ies. So he lacks experience,. But Pete is letting him play every game and go the dis tance. The big fellow responded. Against Iowa he caged 27 points; against Wisconsin, de spite being two-timed, he col lected 13 points. First Big Center In all his coaching years, Newell has had to get along without a really big center. Now that he finally has one, he has changed his style of play somewhat and is en joying the advantage. He is still fighting his nerves, how-1 promising athletes to hit the school in years. He scored 10 against Beaverton taking full advantage of his 6 feet, 2 inch: es in height. Noted as a Cor vallis hustler is Bill Edwards, 5 feet, 10 inches. Keith Morrow, Corvallis guard, 5 feet, 10 inches, is the leading scorer for his team with 71 total points. This in cludes 21 points against Bea verton. Another high scorer is Dwight Hunter with 40 points in six games. Both of these players were starters ylast year. The Corvallis team ranks as a surprise so far this season because they were picked to finish fifth in the six-team dis trict 8-A-l, according to the pre-season poll coaches. However; Corvallis has a highly surprising ball club this year considering the fact they lost 6 foot, 6-inch all- stater Bruce Fleming, 6 foot, 2 inch John Coleman and 6 foot, 1 inch Coquelle Thomp son, starting front line of last year's state tournament team. So far the team has won four games, lost two. The loss es were drubbed in by Spring field (57-38) and Beaverton (72-70). In the latter they hit on 28 of 30 foul tosses and got 31 points from Steve Pauly. Victories have been over Mc Minnville, Molalla, and two from the reportedly strong Roseburg team. ever, by chewing a towel during close games.

Colts Suit; Practice For Giants Baltimore, Md. -(UPD-Every-one sits back and relaxes on Christmas Day, but not the Baltimore Colts, who suited up for a full scale practice to day in preparation for Sun day's National Football league championship game with the New York Giants. While the Giants enjoyed a day of rest, the favored Colts concentrated on sharp ening their defense for the clash at Yankee stadium. ". Colt President Carroll Ros enbloom said a 24-21 loss by Baltimore to the Giants earl ier in the season might work out- to his team's eventual ad vantage. "A defeat always distresses you when it happens," Ros enbloom remarked," especial ly one that ruins a winning streak (the loss to the Giants was the Colts' first in season play), but now I feel that our loss in New York was the best thing that happened to us all season. "I can't think of anything that could help the boys more in getting ready to play the same team in this champion ship." Baltimore coach Weeb Ew- bank indicated the Colts would work out once more before Sunday's game.

Duffy and Jack, coming off two of the most miserable sea sons in their coaching history, are here as mentors for the East-West Shrine classic on Saturday. ' Duffy's Wisecracks But to hear them talk, one would think they just got through winning the Rose Bowl engagement. "To be in this coaching business," said Daugherty, who had a 3-5-1 record this year,' "one has to have an understanding wife. I have that. No matter , what time I come home from a practice session, she has my slippers, a chair and robe all set out for me. Also, she has drawn the hot water-so I can do the dishes." ' Duffy recalls getting one real bad letter last year dur ing the season. "I didn't mind what the guy wrote me from Detroit," said Daugherty, "just telling me I was a bum and questioning my ability as a coach. But I objected to the swiftness with which the" Post Office Depart ment delivered the letter. It got there in the usual time -with just the address 'Duffy the Dope' on it." Curtice, who had a 2-8 rec ord at Stanford, was last on a program given by the Shrin-ers-and it was getting late. 'This is unusual for me to have to hurry," said Jack. "Usually I bow longer than this." Jack introduced one of his boys, lineman Troy Barbee. RIDES FOUR WINNERS New Orleans (UPD Wayne Chambers rode four winners Friday at the Fair Grounds.

Game Men Hit Budget Cut Plan Portland (UPD The State Game commission said today that a recommended cut in its budget for the next two years means management of the state's fish and game resources could be set back for years to come. J. H. Van Winkle, chairman, protested a recommendation of the Department of Finance and Administration calling for a cut of $2,335,000 for the biennium. This amount to more than 20 per cent of the Commission budget, he said. Included in the recommend ed budget slash are $1,115,- 400 of federal funds and $1, 083,739 of funds received al most entirely from sale of fishing and hunting licenses. Commissioner Kenneth G. Denman said such action does not result in a saving since these funds arise from estab lished revenue and all that will suffer are badly-needed elements of the program. . Officials said the original budget was trimmed by al most one million dollars to bring it into line with income before it was submitted by the Commission. Included among major items recommended for reduc tion or eliminiation are: The total program for im poundment rearing of steel head estimated to cost about $400,000; a $40,000 cut in the stream clearance program; a warm-water fish impound ment program to cost $96,000, and an $84,000 slash in the fishway and screening activ ity. Other sizeable recom mended cuts are in the fields of game damage control, sea sonal employees and automo tive equipment. In addition, all other activi ties received minor cuts.

The man who founded the Packers 40 years ago and guided it through both lean and green years as coach would make no comment after the meeting with Olejniczak. And it was doubtful that any immediate statement on his status would be made, since any appointment of a general manager is subject to con firmation by the 45-man board of directors. There was speculation, how- ever, that an announcement might be made before Lam beau leaves here for Los An geles next Tuesday.
