SPORTS
Miles Expected To Hit
By TONY ZAMORA
Two summers ago a young St.
Mary’s athlete had just finished
his first year of school directed
toward a major in physical edu-
cation.
Sandwiched between the two
summers was an exciting basket-
ball campaign which 6’6” Win-
ston Miles thought had matured
him.
But as the saying goes, “Live
and Learn.” And the 210-pound,
bull-necked Miles did just that,
Freshman Team Set
The St. Mary’s University Rat-
tlers, under the guidance of bas-
ketball coach Mel Barborak, have
come up with a freshman team
which includes nine freshmen,
two sophomores, and a transfer
student.
The inexperienced cagers have
shown steady improvement since
the season commenced and coach
Barborak feels that playing a
regular schedule will help the
promising group.
Freshmen composing the
squad are: Tom Sager, Berry
Poth, Bill Michael, Jeffrey low-
ers, Bobby Lara, Preacher Bur-
rows, Mike Boeding, John Miles
and Pat Conley who is out of
action with a broken hand.
Second-year cagers are Ken
Guernsey, Edward Mora, and John
Casanova who is the transfer
student.
The last time the Rattlers
fielded a freshmen team was in
1957 when the late Bob Delaney
was assistant coach to Jim Heis-
er.
A tentative schedule has not
been set at the present, but
coach Barborak has mentioned
entering the team in the fast-
moving City Basketball League.

clude: James W. Allen, Othell

Watts, Olen B. Strauss, and

Membership is by invitation to
advanced business majors main-
taining above average grades in
business courses.
in only one night two summers
ago. To make things more dra-
matic, it took a mere 48 min-
utes to do the job.
Going back to this night two
summers ago, the Summer Bas-
ketball League was in full
swin^ when two National Bas-
ketball Assn, cagers hit San
Antonio like Hurricane Donna
hit the Florida keys.
Their destination — Fort Sam
Houston, U.S. Army.
It all seemed like a dream to
Miles as players milled around
in the dressing room before the
game. And if seeing is believ-
ing, except for mirages in the
desert, things quickly became a
reality as “Winnie” jumped cen-
ter against Boo Ellis, property
of the Minneapolis Lakers.
When the game between the
ABC (composed, in the main, of
St. Mary’s Rattlers) team and
BAMC Comets was over and the
Comets three-point victors, it was
a fellow by the name of Elgin
Baylor who had matured the col-
lege sophomore in just a few
lessons. Young Miles didn’t mind
it (or did he?) because it was all
in the game.
So goes the story ... a
true one . . . and to make com-
parisons at their own level,
Winston Miles is to the St.
Mary’s Rattlers what Elgin
Baylor is to the Minneapolis
Lakers when they hit the bas-
ketball court.
Miles may seem to be a man
on the spot but as Coach Mel
Barborak stated, “With his size
and ability we expect a lot out
of him.”
The two-year letterman from
Wheatley High School led the
team in total rebounds last sea-
son with 276. Miles also grabbed
top honors in defensive rebounds
with 168 beside setting a team
record in rebounds with 28 in one
game against McMurray.
In the scoring department
Miles scored 233 points with a
43 per cent shooting average
from the field. They say statis-
tics don’t lie, so the modest
junior had a good season as a
sophomore.
Now with the upcoming bas-
ketball season just around the
corner, the husky Miles, who
scores and rebounds a la Elgin
Baylor, should be setting his
sights on bettering his 1959-60
performance.
And if you think this is pres-
sure, don’t worry about it be-
cause after all he’s been around.
If you don’t believe it — just
ask him who Elgin Baylor is.

Barons, Barristers In
Week's Highlight1 Game
The Order of the Barons and
the Barrister Club square off
against each other Sunday after-
noon in the top game of this
week’s intramural footall sched-
ule.
Getting the ball rolling on Fri-
day will be the ROTC Cadets and
Tau Delta Sigma. The Cadets
have yet to win a game this year
but they are improving fast. Tau
Delta plays its first game of the
season after being idle the first
week and then being rained out
last week. Tau Delta looms as
the favorite due to the leaky de-
fensive backfield of the ROTC.
In one of the biggest en-
counters scheduled for the year,
the Barons and the Barristers
lock horns in the first game
Sunday with the league’s lead
at stake. The Barons plan to
roll with the passing of A.C.
Moser and end Gene Matocha.
The law students counter with
big former all-American Tom
Stolhanske and A. L. Herndon.
The game is rated as a com-
plete toss-up.
The two other games which
had been scheduled for last Sun-
day afternoon were cancelled due
to the weather.
Rho Beta’s passing attack
along with an average running
game proved to be too much
for the improved Cadets. The
ROTC forward wall played its
usual fine game, but a leaky
defensive backfield proved to
be the downfall for the Cadets.
Vincent Chacon and ' Jimmy
Allen were responsible for the
two touchdowns scored by the
Rho Betas.
The Cadets managed to save
themselves from a shutout when
in the closing minutes of the
game Joe Uriegas hit James Neu-
man with a 60-yard touchdown
pass. The Cadets scored the extra
point and the game ended with
Rho Beta running out the clock.

St. Mary's to Observe
Catholic Youth Week
“Responsible Youth—America’s
Strength” is the theme for the
tenth annual National Catholic
Yo-uth Week, Oct. 30 to Nov. 6.
St. Mary’s University, in com-
munion with some 7,000,000
young adults and teenagers, will
participate in this spiritual pro-
gram to place emphasis on the
spiritual solidarity and re-
sources of Catholic young people.
President Dwight Eisenhow-
er, Vice-President Richard Nix-
on and Senator John F. Ken-
nedy and other civil dignitaries
have endorsed the week urging
meaningful participation in
both spiritual and educational
programs.
Sr. Kujawa To Be
Missed at Mid-Term
The baseball-crazy city of Mil-
waukee has produced quite a
number of athletic stars in the
past years including the popular
New York Yankee shortstop,
Tony Kubek.
Among those star athletes
were youngsters who spread to
all sections of the country to
continue their athletic doings.
This is how St. Mary’s Univer-
sity landed 22-year-old Tony
Kujawa.
Kujawa is a senior and a
three-year letterman in basket-
ball besides majoring in his-
tory. The six-foot lad trans-
ferred to St. Mary’s after one
semester at Marquette Univer-
sity in 1957.
After seeing Kujawa in action,
people will be more convinced
that he is a doctor instead of a
basketball player. The intellec-
tual-looking youngster looks
more like he owns a Ph. D. in-
stead of an athletic scholarship.
Of course this will hold true
only until he starts bombing the
basket with his running jump-
shot or his long, two-hand set
shot.
It isn’t hard for rabid Rattler
fans to know when Kujawa will
play his best basketball. There
are two occasions during the
season when San Antonio sports
fans devote their full time to the
St. Mary’s-Trinity series. In this
series past records are thrown
out the window and replaced with
that little extra every athlete is
known to give in a tight situa-
tion. And it is in these games
that Tony Kujawa came to the
Rattler campus. He has been the
hero of many close contests be-
tween these two crosstown ri-
vals.
Records sometimes speak not
only for a player’s ability but
for his greatness. It is in this
category that the native Mil-
waukeean has an undented rec-
ord. But the bespectacled eager
who hopes to teach or go into
public relations after gradua-
tion, has always played in the
shadows of some more publi-
cized eager.
Kujawa is perhaps the most
underrated player on the Rat-
tler squad and his graduation
at mid-term will show that his
steady brand of ball will be
heartily missed when the Rat-
tlers go into the stretch for the
Big State Conference title.
SEA Elects Officers
Recently elected as officers of
the Student Education Associa-
tion wei’e: Charles May, presi-
dent; Edward A. Mora, vice-
president; Gayle Vollmer, sec-
retary, and Florincio C. Sepul-
buola, treasurer.
The orginization is composed
of young men and women in-
terested in teaching as a career.
A tentative program for the
year has been mapped to stimu-
late the interest of its members.
The program includes films of
the latest teaching techniques.
