Gola Could Score 30y
But It I* Basketball?
BY MURRAY OLDERMAN
Written for
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
New York--(NEA)—I can
remember all the way back to
when Tom Gola was the great-
est basketball player in the
Country. That sounds archaic
enough, doesn’t it?
I should tell you, though,
that Tom Gola is only 27 years
old right now and never look-
ed better. In case you hadn’t
heard, he’s still playing bas-
ketball—for the Philadelphia
Warriors in the shadow of Wilt
the Stilt Chamberlain.
Maybe what happened to
Tom one night two years ago
explains how the former La-
Salle All-American, who once
ehjoyed hallowed comparison
with Hank Luisetti and George
Mikan as men who created
their own eras, has since fad-
ed into relative obscurity,
just another backcourt player
in the National Basketball
Association. And it might ex-
plain just what has happened
to the professional game.
The Philadelphia papers had
been hammering at him for his
reluctance to shoot, and the
clamor was highest when he
was blanked in a playoff game
against the Boston Celtics. That
night, when he came home, his
wife, Caroline didn’t give him
a chance to hang up his pork-
pie hat before she demanded,
“Well,
more?’
TWC la Play
Bobcat Cagers
Austin, Fefji 25 UH — Texas
Wesleyan will represent the
Big State Conference lit the
NAIA basketball playoffs.
Officials from Texas Wes-
leyan at Fort Worth won a
coin flip last night to earn the
berth after finishing in a 3-
way tie for conference cham-
pionship with St. Edward’s and
Pan-American College of Edin-
burg.
The TWC Rams led the race
until St. Edward’s and St.
Mary’s of San Antonio both
tripped the Fort Worth crew in
2 of their last 3 games. This
left the 3 co-champions all with
conference records of 5 wipe
and 2 losses.
Texas Wesleyan will play
Southwest Texas, the Lone
Star Conference titlist, at San
Marcos next Wednesday. Then
the two teams will move to
Fort Worth ftnv a second game
Thursday. If a third game is
necessary, it will be played
Friday in Fort Worth.

pion Dick Tiger scored a unani-
mous decision over Ace Arm

Stadium.

Tiger rallied to take the deci-

Lions Contend
For Second
Place in LSC
Commerce, Feb. 25 —East
Texas State winds up its bas-
ketball season with a week-
end swing to Sul Ross and How-
ard Payne Saturday and Mon-
day nights. Wins for the Lions
in both games could ensure
either a second or third place
finish in Lone Star conference
play, much above pre-season
predictions.
The Lions with only one
starter and two lettermen back
from last year were expected
to go exactly nowhere. But in
winning from Stephen F. Aus-
tin Saturday night 70 to 64
they equaled the number of
wins of the previous year—16.
By winning the remaining road
games, they will have a much
better record than last year’s
veteran team.
Of course, even should they
win at Alpine and Brownwood,
their conference finish can be
no higher than the second-place
tie of a year ago. The loss to
Lamar Monday night 58 to 66
was the fifth against seven
wins and eliminated any chance
of an unshared second place.
Noel Fain with point outputs
of 9 and 16 points against
S.F.A. and Lamar has dropped
to a 19.8 average through 24
games, the first time he has
been below a 20-point average
since early in the season. Jim
Culpepper continues as runner-
up, juat one point short of a
18-point average.
Fain is also the field goal per-
centage leader with .464 and
rebounding leader with 210.
Weldon Tallant is maintaining
his leadership in free throw
percentage although for the
first time he haa fallen below
.800 with .794.
In the earlier games at Com-
merce the Lions downed Sul
Roaa 82 to 56 and lost to How-
ard Payne in a chiller 60 to. 69.
In a non-conference game
with Austin College Wednes-
day night, the Lions won a 63
to 60 decision.

Little Hofstra
Doing Well
BY FRANK ECK
AP NiwifwUsrH Sports Writer
Hempstead, N. Y., id! — For
a small college with a foot-
ball field seating less than 6,-
000 and nary a scrimmage In
spring practice, little Hofstra
has been doing exceptionally
well under athletic director
Howard (Howdy) Myers.
Myers doubles, or triples, as
the Blue and Gold football and
lacrosse coach. The big thing
in his 28 years of coaching
foobail happened last fall. Play-
ers had carried him off the
gridiron before but this time it
hag special significance.
His Flying Dutchmen of Hof-
stra went unbeaten in bis 10th
season with them. It could have
been the best college team in
the New York area. The team
won all nine games, and when
die 1960 season rolls around
Hofstra will start with a 12-
game winning streak. A 20-12
loss to Gettysburg in 1968 was
Myers’ last football setback.
Myers coached the sport at
Donaldson, Friends and St.
Paul’s schools in Maryland. He
had 11 years at St. Pauls. He
had four seasons at Johns Hop-
kins.
“I had a team at Johns Hop-
kins that lost only one game,
and the 1952 and 1967 Hof-
stra teams both lost once,” says
Myers. "But this was my first
undefeated team in 28 years
of coaching.
“Jt makes a fellow feel rath-
er proud because last year our
spring practice consisted of 10
days. We worked out in bas-
ketball sneakers and track
sweat suits on the tennis
courts. We never scrimmage in
the spring. This spring I’m hop-
ing we’ll have time fee a Jew
more days of practice. We’ll
get about 60 boys out.”
How will Hofstra do next
fall?
,fWall, we may not match
lant-yeir’s record but we hope
to do all right. In Bob DeNeff,
a brilliant six-foot pass-catch-
ing end, we have our leading
scorer back. He made 42 points
on six touchdowns and three
two-point conversions.
“I would say he’s the one
boy we have whe would be
good enough to continue with
the professional football teams.
He’s that good.”
DeNeef set a season record i
last year with 41 receptions.
Hofstra shut out five oppon-
ents and allowed only 44 points
while amassing 275. Only two
teams scored more than one
touchdown against the Dutch-
men and in those games Hof-
stra tallied 106 points. The i
team blanked Upsala, Bridge- i
port, Temple, Muhlenberg and
Scranton.
South America
Buys Cattle
Houston, Feb. 25 141 — A
Venezuelan government repre-
sentative attending the Hous-
ton Fat Stock Show is pur-
chasing over $300,000 in cattle
from Texas ranches this week.
The representative, Francis-
co Castillo, said at Houston,
“We’ll ship over 860 head out
of Houston March 16th.”
The average price of $400
a head. A similar shipment left
Port Houston last month.
Castillo said the -Houston
purchases will bring Venezue-
la’s cattle purchase in Texas
in 14 months to $1,900,000.
The expenditures have been
made under Venezuela’s 5-year
program to increase ita nation-
al herd to 1014 million head.

two points after one touch-
down, and Jerry Mackey caught
a pass from Green for another
two-pointer.
Caroll L o k e y took a paaa
from Carl Johnson for the only
White tally.
Linemen cited by coaches for
improved play in the scrimmage
were Durwood Merrill, 200-
pounder moved from end to
guard; E v e r i s t o Nino, 230-
pound tackle; Woodrow Myeis,
240-poUnd tackle; Don Kich-
ardson, 200-pound freshman
moved fronrfullbaek to center ;
and Jerry Da via, 230-pound let-
terman guard.
Surprise of the scrimmage,
coaches say, was Kenneth
Walls, moved only two days
earlier from quarterback to
halfback. The former Garland
flash showed fine running and
good speed. Quarterback Green
was an improved player as
shown by paaaoe for a touch-
down and point-after another
touchdown running. Lettermsn
halfback James Shaw also draw
words of praise for fine play.
The Lions expect to wind np
spring drills with n JayCee
