After a slow start the Kitten hoopsters rounded into shape at mid-season and put together some fine per- formances. Against their annual rivals-Phoenix College, Davis-Monthan AFB, Marana AFB, Arizona State at Flagstaff, Arizona State at Tempe and Eastern Arizona IC-the Wildkittens traded victories. They beat each of these teams, but in turn lost at least one contest to each of them. In two games with traditional arch-rival Arizona State's Sun Imps the Kittens broke even. Arizona's frosh won easily in the first game in Tucson by an 85-70 score. But the Sun Imps got their revenge in the final game of the season as they edged the Kittens 50-55 on the Tempe floor. High scoring Rudy Garcia was the mainstay of the Wildkitten attack. The 5' 7 ' guard from Miami, Arizona, scored 327 points for the season, an average of 17.21 per game. Tabbed as an outstanding varsity prospect, Garcia was also an excellent playmaker for the Frosh. Three other players scored over 10 points per game for the season. Bill Hawk dumped in 12.2, Earl Lubbers hit for 11.2 and Tom Warren averaged 10.8 for the year. Hawk put on outstanding shows in the final two games as he scored a total of 43 points. Burdette Morago filled out the regular starting five for the freshmen. Fnosi-1 BAsKE'rnAi.L TEAM: Row 1: Burdette Morago, Earl Lubbers, Bill Hawk, Tom VVarren, Rudy Garcia.

CAGEY side-step dribble is executed by Leon Goar as he tries to find an opening during Texas Western game. Opponents watch carefully. TETIPE TAKES RETE GE, Arizona closed out the 1955-56 cage season by taking a 96-88 licking at the hands of Tempe on the Sun Devils' home court. Reversing the situation of their first meeting, Tempe got off to a roaring start and the Cats couldn't close the gap- The Sun Devils successfully bottled-up the lrVildcats, high scoring Ed CPudgej Nymeyer with a highly-effec- tive shifting defense. The soph sensation, who had an even 400 points going into the contest, was held to only seven tallies, six of them in the second half. Arizona trailed the home squad at the half, 47-36, and late in the final period had fallen behind, 90-65. Here the Cats seemed to catch fire and held the Sun Devils to only 6 points the rest of the game, While piling up 23 themselves. The Tempe lead was just too much for the Wildcats to make up, though. Arizona outscored the Devils from the field, with 31 field goals to Tempeis 30. The Cats, however, had 24 fouls called on them, 17 in the first half, and the Sun Devils took advantage of the situation, making 36 free throws out of 46 attempts. Tempe fouled 17 times and the Wildcats made 25 out of 26 tries. Bill Reeves topped the Arizona scorers With 16 points and also was the top rebounder of the game, with 20 grabs off the boards. Dave Inglis with 15 and Warren Ridge with 14 followed as every Arizona player scored. Boyce Youree had 32 points and Garth Wilson 28 for Tempe. 148 OUCH, my toe! Forward Ed Nymeyer grabs his foot while striv- ing to recover a rebound in the winning Hardin-Simmons game. Llilli CAT I FINAL TILT i MOVE, PLEASE. Delnor Poss, Hardin-Simmons player, seems annoyed at being so closely followed by Arizona,s Dave Inglis.
