Height and Spirit Sparks Catalinzfs Freshmen Cagcrs ball team had the spirit of a top notch squad. Team members had the services of 6'5 center Randy Butler. Little Dave Schwanke had the distinction of being the only first stringer under six feet, but made up for it in deft ball handling. Rounding out the team was Barry Metler and Andy Scala who helped give the team its unusual height and speed. Team leading scorers were Eric Evett, Mickey Foster, and Chett Johnson who provided the team punch. The team showed its promised mettle near the end of the sea- son after it got off to a poor start. RICHARD BARNES, frosh basketball coach, has taught mathematics in Tucson for eight years, two at Amphi and six at Catalina. He re- ceived his bachelor's degree at Wisconsin State College and his master's degree at the University of Arizona where he played basketball and baseball. ,' GSALJ4.
