Bosarge paces OLV to Jaycee Bowl win Eagles down Cats for second victory

in bowl competition By ROBERT HARRIS

Led by the brilliant passing and running of quarterback Ozzie Bo-

sarge and backs Mike Ankerson, •Monte Moncrief and Joe Watts, OLV Eagles gamed a 48-19 vic- tory over Long Beach Bearcats in the Jaycee Bowl ait Long Beach Saturday.

It was the fifth consecutive bowl victory for the Eagles of coach Leslie Patrick and their second bowl victory of the ’62 season.

Following a hard hitting line, OLV jumped to a 20-0 first quar- ter lead and was never in trouble for the remainder of the game.

The first three times Long Beach had the ball, they lost pos- session via two pass intercep- taons and a fumble.

On the first play from scrim-1 mage, Maurice Dupont returned an intercepted pass 35 yards for a touchdown.

Bosarge turned in a super per- formance, throwing the ball 13

times and completing 12 for 203 yards and two touchdowns.

Repeating his accomplishments in last week’s Turkey Bowl, Bo- sarge was selected the game’s j most outstanding back.

Sophomore Wayne Harris, tne | Eagles center, was chosen the; game's oustandiaig lineman.

Richard (Red) DandaSs, Long Beach, was selected for the

sportsmanship award. Long Beach won the toss and

elected to receive. Melvin Du- buisson returned Bosarge’s kick to the 41. On first down, Allan

Young’s attempted pass was

blocked by Wayne Blanchard and

Dupont intercepted on the 35 and raced for the touchdown. Bo-

sarge passed to end Mike Cox

for the PAT and OLV had a quick 7-0 lead.

Terry! Bechtol returned Bo- sarge’s kick to the 29.

Although Long Beach's running attack was stymied and on third down, Mike Anketrson intercepted Young’s pass at midfield and re-

turned it to the 36. Ankerson then burst through the middle of the 1

line from the 12 into the end zone.

Boserge circled end for the PAT and with a little over four min- utes gone in the game, OLV led 14-0

Dupont recovered a fumble on

the (Bearcat 45. Bosarge fired a

perfect pass to Cox on the 15 who raced into the end zone.

Long Beach started a drive which carried to the Eagles 11

yard line as the first quarter ended. Four plays later, Danials circled end on a double reverse

•at for the score. James Neill added the PAT from placement.

Then on the most spectacular play of the game, Bosange fired a pass to Cox who took the ball m the midst of two defensive

players at the 25 and sprinted in-

to the end zone- Bosange passed to Ankerson for the PAT to up

the Eagle’s lead. Following halftime kickoff OLV

drove for another score. Moocrdef raced 20 yards to the Bearcat 41 Bosarge circled end for nine

SEC basketball roundup ....

Louisiana Slate invests hopes in winning year on sophomores

By ROBERT A. SCHAEFER

BATON ROUGE (UPI)—Louis- iana State, whose basketball for- tunes nosedived several years back where all-American Bob Pettit graduated, is investing its hopes this season in six return- ing lettermen and two key soph- omores.

The Bengals, directed by coach Jay McCreary, posted a 14-11 mark last season for their first winning campaign since Pettit’s senior year in 1954.

LSU wound up fifth in the Southeastern Conference writh a 7-7 record with six of its seven losses coming at the hands of SEC powerhouses, Kentucky, Mis- sissippi State and Auburn.

Faced with another stern sched- ule. McCreary is hesitant about making any predictions about the Tigers’ chances this season. He feds that with a few breaks and formance from key personnel LSU has a chance to again finish in the winning column.

“We are counting on a couple of sophomores. If they come

yards and a touchdown. Boaarge passed to Oox for the PAT to put the Eagles ahead 34-7-

The Eagles started to move

again and as the third quarter ended they had the ball on the Bearcats 11 yard line. Bosarge, faking a pass, circle en for eight yards and the touchdown. Bo- sarge passed to Moncrief for the PAT.

Harris recovering a fumble for OLV on the 25. Bosarge passed to Ankerson for 21 yards to the four yard line. Ankerson then crashed over middle for the touchdown. Cox, running at quar- terback, passed to Moncrief for the PAT and the ©aides were on

top 43-7. Dandals passed long downfield

to Frank Hijurlos for the score.

The play covered 55 yards. Long Beach’s final score. Neill's try for the PAT came on a blocked punt.

Coach Patrick, upon receiving the winners trophy at midfield, expressed his surprise at the final outcome of the game say-

ing he About ti the score would be much closer-

Patrick said, “I told our backs we would have to ouitscore them but my biggest surprise was the outstanding performance of the line. They were outweighed 25 pounds per man, tout their in- spired play proved to be the de- ciding factor in the final out- come. I was real pleased with the desire shown by the boys.”

through we will be that much stronger,” McCreary says, adding, “our entire schedule is so de- manding that improvement over

last year’s record may not be apparent in the won-lost record.”

To boost the Tigers’ chances, McCreary is counting on quick maturity from sophomores Dick Maile and Bill Wilson.

Maile, 6-5, is from South Ft. Mitchell, Ky. He probably will start at guard when the Tigers open the season Dec. 3 here against Loyola of New Orleans.

The other sophomore is Bill Wil- son, a hometown product. At 6-8 he is the tallest man on the squad and has tihe potential to develop into a first stringer.

Rounding out the starting team will be seniors Maury Drummond and Ellis Cooper and juniors Howard Keene and Sam Chase.

The Tigers won’t have the big scorer capable of hitting consist- ently in the double figures. To compensate for this, McCreary is banking on better team shooting figures.

Drummond, 6-7, of Baton Rouge and Cooper, a six-footer from Springhill, La., both are consid- ered good outside shots. Chase, from Knightstown, Ind., Wilson and Maile have all the potential to break open a game on any given night.

McCreary, who likes the fast break, says this season’s squad will be taller and faster and will have more scoring potential than last year.

“Our team should he better and

proved,” McCreary said. “We our overall shooting should be im- won’t depend cn one or two players. We’re depending on the five boys who are playing and we

must get a maximum team effort from every play in every game.”

For bench strength, the Tigers will count heavily cn 6-4 Jack Belcher of French Lick, Ind., and 6-2 Bobby Fetter, from Blacks-

burg, Va. Both are juniors who received plenty of experience last season. The rest of the bench will consist mainly of sophomores.

With Chase and Cooper at guards and Maile at forward, Mc- Creary probably will alternate Keene and Drummond at center and the other forward post until he finds a winning combination.

Sullivan is out for Sugar Bowl OXFORD (UPD — Mississippi

end Wes Sullivan, a field goal and kickoff specialist, underwent knee surgery Monday and will not be able to play in the Sugar Bowl, it was reported by univer- sity officials.

The eighth grade Panther cagers of coach Othar Crawford gained their second win of the season 33-11 while the ninth grade quintet of coach Charles Nelson picked up their first win after

i losing to Biloxi Central last week. The ninth grade Pas cagers

jumped to a 12-4 first quarter lead and were never threatened as Nelson alternated his teams regularly. With center Stanley Crawford forwards Jimmy Hults and Dick Ingwerson controlling the backboards, the junior Pan- thers used heads-up defense and accurate shooting to gain the win.

Ingwerson led all scorers with 14 points while Crawford bagged 11, forward Tim Walsh 4, and guard David Kihyet 4. Guard Doug Hassell led Tiger scorers

with 6 points while Danny Bout- well sank 5.

ing attack. Clark led Moss Point scorers with 7 points.

The Panther juniors continue their season Thursday night when they close out a three-game home stand by hosting West Gulfport at 6:30 and 7:30.

Pascagoulans seek third win in Tiger match By TOMMY HOUSTON

Chronicle Correspondent After an impressive weekend

debut, Pascagoula will be gun- ning for a third triumph tonight at Moss Point where they meet the Tigers for a district basket- ball battle at Tiger gym.

With three teams seeing regu- lar action the first two games, the Panthers of Coach Jim Mil- stead had little trouble in dispos- ing of Mobile Davidson and Ocean Springs. However, the locals ex-

pect a rugged game with the improved Tigers tonight.

Rated fourth in a South Big Eight pre-season coaches’ poll, the Panthers Saturday night, con-

trolled the boards during both games.

They played without center Bobby Kihyet and forward Bruce Scarbrough, two rebounding sen-

iors. Kihyet, nursing a knee in- jury may see action tonight. Scarbrough, who was out of town, will be ready for action tonight.

Milstead ran his cagers through snappy drills Monday afternoon.

Leading the locals into action will be centers Jim Farmer, Jimmy Woitt and Bobby Kihyet, with Farmer the probable starter. The 6-2'/a junior sports six point scoring average with 16 re-

bounds the first two games. Carrying the offense will be

senior forward Bill Wilkerson. At the other forward position

will be junior Larry Henry, backed up by juniors Danny Smith and John Woitt, and sen-

iors Bruce Scarbrough, Billy Miller, and Billy Roberts.

At the guard positions will be seniors John Frazier and Mike Noblitt, backed up by senior Percy Perkins, and juniors John Galley and Bobby Canty.

Galley grabbed high point honors Saturday night with a 16

point performance. The match will be the last

before the locals enter the Gulf- port Invitational Tournament in Gulfport Thursday through Satur- day.

Canty of Pascagoula sparks UFL pro team

Former PHS star

conducting drive to keep loop alive TOLEDO, Ohio, (TJIPI) — Quar-

terback Billy Canty of Pasca- goula is conducting a personal campaign to keep up interest in the shaky United Football Lea- gue.

Canty, who plays for the Toledo Tornadoes, threw three touchdown passes the weekend of Nov. 17

to engineer a 34-14 upset over

western division champion Grand Rapids, Mich.

Sparked by Canty’s heroics, Toledo has whirled through four of its last sax opponents to square the season’s record at 5-5-1.

The first notice of the six-foot, one-inch, 190-pounder’s develop- ment into a top star of the pro- fessional league came three weeks ago when he sparked a

last period touchdown drive that turned in an upset victory over

the Eastern Division pace-set- ters, the Columbus Capitals.

Canty capped the drive with an

eight-yard touchdown pass, and Toledo scored again in the clos-

ing minutes for a 17-7 triumph. The former two-sport star at

Furman has completed 96 of 138

passes for 1,167 yards going into

the final games this fall. He has! hurled 11 touchdown passes in 11 games.

The UFL started the season, its second, on a high note, but at- tendance fell off at Louisville and Columbus, causing the league to take over the franchises.

In the Grand Rapids game last

week, Canty threw touchdown

passes of one, eight and three

yards, gaindsig 210 yards in the

air on 16 of 25 pass completions-

Coach McCarthy tells doubts of fourth Bulldog cage crown By JOHN GARCIA

Mississippi State has the artil- lery to make a bid for its fourth Southeastern Conference basket- ball title in five years, but there's some doubt as to whether the Bulldogs have enough ammuni- tion.

Coach Babe McCarthy, one of the most successful SEC coaches with 128 wins and 46 losses in his seven years at State, has noth- ing but praise for his five start-

ing cagemen, but he foresees trouble if any of them are side- tracked by injuries.

At best, the three-time SEC coach of the year says, has bench strength is “very average.”

But that first string team is a

dilly, one that any coach in the country would envy.

Four of the five scheduled to start this year, started for last year’s team which shared the league title with Kentucky and finished as the fifth-ranked team in the nation. The fifth man, Doug Hutton, is a 5-oot 10-inch junior guard who jumps like a center and who was described last year by McCarthy as the “best sixth man in the country.”

Forward Leland Mitchell, a 6- foot 4 inch standout who was

named to the all-SEC team last year, and guard W. D. (Red) Stroud, both strong all-American candidates, head the list of re-

turning lettermen. They will be

ably supported by first-team re-

turnees Joe Dan Gold, a guard, all are seniors.

Guard and captain Jack Berk- shire is the only man missing from last year’s championship team and it will be his play- making and leadership talents the team will miss most, McCarthy says.

Just how much his absence will be felt is emphasized by the fact McCarthy has split his duties be- tween two men. Gold will cap- tain the team and Hutton, the lit- tle man with the big bounce, will call the plays.

“They’re a very versatile team,” McCarthy says of his first unit. “They have experience, fair

speed and fine ball handlers. They’re small for a college team, but what they lack in height they make up in aggressiveness.”

Individually, McCarthy sums

up his team this way: Mitchell, Kiln: “Most aggres-

sive player I’ve ever had. Great competitor.”

Gold, 6-5, Benton, Ky.: “One of the steadiest and most consistent

boys in the business.” Shows, 6-7, Brookhaven: “A

real hustler. Paid the price to make the first team by working overtime.”

Stroud, 6-1, Forest: “One of the most spectacular players we’ve had. Great crowd pieaser and great clutch player.”

Hutton: “Finest little basketball player in the country.”

But in back of these men, Mc-

State moves up to sixth place for US cagers

NEW YORK (UPI) — The United Press International major college basketball ratings (with first-place votes and won-lost rec-

ords in parentheses):

1. Cincinnati (33) (1-0) 348. 2. Duke (2) (1-0) 285. 3. Loyola (111.) (1-0) 194. 4. West Virginia (1-0) 176. 5. Oregon State (0-0) 141. 6 Mississippi State (0-0) 101. 7. Illinois (1-0) 85. 8. Wisconsin (1-0) 73. 9. Kansas State (1-0) 66.

10. Bowling Green (1-0) 56.

Second 10—11, Stanford 47; 12

(tie), Creighton and UCLA 41 each; 14, Kentucky 386; 15, New York U. 28; 16, Arizona State 24; 17, Ohio State 21; 18, Indiana 19; Dayton 18; 20, Southern Cal- ifornia 14.

Carthy says he has slim pick- ings. Only three other men are

expected to see much action this year—center Stan Brinker of Met- ropolis, 111., and guards Aubrey Nichols of New Hope and Billy Andertoo of Florence. Only Brinker saw much action last year, serving as first string cen-

ter for the first of the season.

McCarthy looks for Kentucky and Auburn, not necessarily in that order, to be the SEC power- houses, but he also expects Flor- ida, Vanderbilt and dark-horse Georgia Tech to be tough.

“We realize everybody’s going to be gunmmtg for us,” he says, “and we’ve been spending a lot of time getting our boys mentally ready for the season.”

He says, at this time, he’s con-

cerned more with the team’s Dec. 4 opener against Arkansas A&M in Starksville than with the other 24 games, 11 of which, including the key encounter with Kentucky, will be played at home.

“We’re not sitting up here fat, dumb and happy thinking we’re going to beat everybody,” says McCarthy, “but at the same

time, we’re not planning to give any ganes away. We think we’re too good for that.”
