Don't Give
Up The Ship
By JACK McCLENBOHAN
Collegian Sports Editor
One big question going around
campus is why was Ron Neff
(6-9) allowed to enroll In a box¬
ing class during basketball play!
'Neff fractured nla "hand while
participating in a boxing drill and
may be lost to Harry Miller's crew
Tor the rest of the season. Al¬
though the big eager Is suiting uf
for games and trying to score
with his hand in a small cast, hli
play Is hindered as any cage fan
could seo over the past weekend.
Of course you can always argue
that Netr could have been kilted
In an auto accident too . . .
While we're on tile cage sub¬
ject many people are writing off
this year's varsity edition as con¬
ference contenders after weekend
games against San Fernando Val¬
ley State and t'C at Santa Bar¬
bara.
They give t*
Without Neff In the starting llne-
np tho Bulldogs can't possibly win
sjatnes wiiii two 6-0 men on the
boards. You need one big num. 2)
There la no speed at tho starting
Jobs. Although Joe Chappel la do¬
ing an adequate Job he lacks
apeed and veteran Tom Jacobsen
doesn't belong" out front.
Although the reasons given are
fair this reporter hasn't given up
on this ball club. My two reasons
In rebuttal are: 1) NefT hasn't
been the Important cog In the
Bulldog oirense In the early going
as he was In the latter part of
play last season. His best effort
to date was the San Jose State
game where he garnered 13 points
and pulled down ten rebounds. 2)
In agreement that the Bulldogs do
lack speed at the guards, coach
Harry Miller's offense Is geared
to a different type of attack. Now
that Neff won't be starting Miller
must make some' adjustments and
It will take a row games for every¬
one to get acquainted.
This same team still beat San
Jose State In the early going. The
Spartans went on* to win the West
Coast Athletic Association Tour¬
ney over the Christinas vacation
against the likes of* Bant* Clara,
SC Mary's, Portland. University
of San Fnnclsco and Feppcrdliie,
Don't give tip the ship yet,
people . . .
Line coach Bob Burgess showed
his enthusiasm at Friday night'
game when as the public address
announcer he directed that the
FSC cheering section should go
over a yell a second time.
After the yell waa completed,
Burgess nodded his approval.
Is It true that backfleld coach
Kenny Gleason may retire from
the coaching ranks and concen¬
trate on teaching physical educa¬
tion cla-sses only?
Center J. R. Williams certainly
paid two of his former teammates
a compliment arter returning
from the East-West classic in San
Francisco.
"Anabo throws as well as Guy
'Sonny' Otbbs or Darylc L-amonlca,
The man that played opposite to
Tie was the same type of player
hat Jack Bohan Is . . . quick and
aggressive," said big J. R.
In talking to Myron Anderson,
director of fntramurala, yesterday
he wanted to thank Pete Beide&'s
referrelng class for officiating at
the Independent and Greek bas¬
ketball games.   .
Without their help the two
leagues would be In a sad shape
of affaire. The rivalry In
Greek league is so fierce that
without good officiating the games
wonld   get   out   of   hand,"   said
Anderson also had praise for
Collegian sports -vriter Fred Mc¬
pherson. The spring semester vnr-
slty pitching prospect has been
covering the intramnraj scene the
fall win ester.
"It's the finest coverage that
Intramural play has had since I've
been at FSC," commented Aniler-
I would also like to thank Mc-
Pherson and Bill Spencer for their
assistance In getting out the
sports page last Friday and Mon-
Thelr boss was experiencing the
final stage of pledging. I believe
called "Hell Week." Thanks
also goes out to Don Culbertson
too. He knows why . . .

After splitting a weekend series
against San Fernando Valley
State and UC at Santa Barbara,
coach Harry Miller's cage team
will go back to the hardwoods In
preparation for a rugged south¬
land roadtrlp to Long Beach and
San Diego this weekend.
The Bulldogs won 71-74 over
SFVS on Friday then folded to
the Gauchos on Saturday 53-4S.
Ilurr Stars
The big standout In the week¬
end action was 6-3 forward Tony
Burr who scored 40 points In the
series. Burr won moved froni his
forward slot to the center position
because of Kan Ncffn hand Injury
which may keep him out of action
for the rest of the year.
Versatile Perhnmier
Versatile Tom Jacobsen was
moved from his starling guard
spot to forward also In order to
compensate for the lack of height
due to Neffs Injury. Jacobsen re¬
sponded with 19 points.
Maurice Talbot fired home 25
points In the two game set at his
forward     position.     But    Talbot
shlned as a rebounder gathering
IS against the Matadors on Fri¬
day and It against the Gauchos
on  Saturday.
Greenes See Action
Miller moved the Greene twins,
Ed and John, to the guard slots
against Santa Barbara after
Jacobacn and Joe Chappel were
Blven new assignments.
Just what the future holds nl
the troublcsimu' engineering posi¬
tions won't be known until Friilny

Dr. Mai Klmberly. professor of
health education, who last year
did an outstanding Job of coach¬
ing the Fresno State wrestling
team, doesn't seem a bit shaken
by the thought of a "sophomore
Jim."
In  his debut  as  FSC's varsity
coach last year. Klmberly guided
wrestlers to second  place In
Northern California Intercol¬
legiate championships and fourth
in   both   the   CCAA   and   Pacific
Coast   Intercollegiate   meets.   Ills
grapplers   won   three   conference
Individual titles, two NCI cham¬
pionships and one PCI  crown.
Both   Klmbefly   and   wrestling
•re   new   to   Fresno   State   last
ar. but Klmberly Is a veteran of
years as a wrestling coach in
e  Navy  and   at   Montana  State
College.

cluding two conference champion:
and one Northern California Inter¬
collegiate winner, would be head¬
ing for the nearest bomb shelter.
But not Max Klmbefly. In fact.
Klmberly cheerfully slicks his
neck out with the prediction. "We
should be improved this year."

32-0. The FSC grapplers [ilny
host to KiUi Fernando State Fri¬
ilny. Santa ltnrhnra beat the
Southern California valley team
2-t-U) earlier.
' With this In mind, but still not
turning his back on Friday's
match. Klmberly and his charges
are looking to Saturday night
when defending champion San
Diego Slate comes hero for what
could prove to be a real grunt 'n'
groan er.
"We want to look sharp lor
San Diego. They're going to be
real tough." predicted Klmberly.
"They have some real good fresh¬
men who are wrestling varsity
this year." he added.
—San-Diego State is putting most
of their title hopes in John Davles
(115). Dennis Payne (137) and
Merrill Davis  (177), plus a real
: top crop of freshmen and trans-
Four Unisons
There are four main reasons
why Klmberly believes this year's
squad will turn out io be an Im¬
provement over last year's strong
Kddle Davis, who pinned his
man at Santa Barbara. Is the first
reason. Davles won the Pacific
Coast Intercollegiate, NCI. and
CCAA 130-pound titles and
reached the quarter-finals of the
NCAA meet. Until that loss, Da¬
vles had won 72 consecutive
matches.
Secondly, returning lettermen
Ron Bush and Allen Bertoldl.
Bush has been hampered by a bad
knee In previous seasons, but
looks strong bo far this year. He
had an excellent high school
record.
llertulill WIS runner-up in the
Xoi-thrrit r.illfornln lntcrrollegl- j
ntt- meet earlier this season. He
made Ihe semi-finals in both the
ma  nn.l  rev*,  meets last  year.
Two state Junior college cham¬
pions arc on the Bulldog team
this year In  Roy Stuckcy  (123)
and Don Nelson (177). They both
won their division lo the NCI
meet this year. Stuckey won Us
same title last year whllo vytpsu-
Ing ror Prcsbo City College.
Besides these men, a real Husky
bunch of new wrestlers art- under
the artful wing of coach Klm¬
berly. Among them are Ed Kaiser.

pinned his man at Santa llarban
last weekend.
