BASKETBALL OUTLOOK
Coach Dean Nicholson begins his second year as Wildcat
coach with a strong nucleus of five returning lettermen.
Three
of these were starters on last year's Evergreen Conference and
District I NAIA championship team which had a 9-1 conference
record and a 20-6 season record.
With Mel Cox, all-conference and all-district center, back
to lead the Wildcat scoring attack, Central could again be strong
contenders in the Pacific Northwest.
Cox was the leading EvCo
scorer last season, averaging 22.2 points per game.
The 6-4
junior also led the team in rebounds and field goal shooting,
hitting 58.2 per cent of his shots.
Coach Nicholson is looking for Cox to lead the team again
this year along with guard Eddie Smith, a second-team all-conference selection and the third leading scorer on the team with a
12.8 average.
Smith had a knee operation this past summer but
seems to be recovering fully.
Dave Wenzler is the other return-
ing starter, and he is the tallest member of the team at 6 1 6 11 •
He will be in a forward position again this year.
Two other lettermen upon whom Coach Nicholson will be relying
are guard Ray Jones and forward Tom Hutsell.

who led the frosh in scoring.

A SKETCH OF THE COACH
TOM ANDERSON
Starting his fourth year as varsity swim coach, Tom
Anderson has developed a swimming program that has gained
national recognition for the Wildcats.
He has taken them into contention nationally, placing
third in the NAIA National Championships last year and also
winning the Evergreen Conference championship with a 14-1
season record .
In 1963-64 the team was 10-2 in dual meets and finished
second in the conference and seventh in the Nationals.
A graduate of York, Pa., high school, Anderson received
his B.A. from Montana State University in 1961 after spending
three years in the Marine Corps.
He received his master's
degree from the University of Washington before launching his
coaching career at Central.
In addition to his coaching duties, Anderson runs the men ' s
intramural program and is a member of the physical education
staff.
He and his wife Freida have two sons, Jeff,
4 and Todi 2.

SWIMMING OUTLOOK
With eight lettermen returning from last year's team,
Coach Tom Anderson in his fourth season at Central is highly
optimistic about the current intercollegiate swimming season.
The Wildcats last year had a season record of 14-1--the only
loss inflicted by the University of Oregon.
The Wildcats ended the 1964-65 season as Evergreen Conference Champions and placed third in the NAIA Small-college National
Championships.
Coach Anderson will be looking for all-Americans Gerry
Malella and Jeff Tinius to lead the way this year along with lettermen Steve Barber, Ray Clark, Gene Liefke, Jack Ridley, Jim Thomas,
and Tom Thomas.
The latter is the only senior on the squad.
Malella, a two-year letterman, is the national champion in
both the 200-yard butterfly and the 400-yard individual medley.
Tinius is intent on recapturing the national championship he won
in the 500-yard free style in 1964 when he also finished third
in the 200- and 500-yard free style events.
Last year he placed
second in the 1650-yard free style.
Other returning lettermen who gained the national finals
lA~t
year were Jack Ridley (fifth in both the 50- and 200-yard
free styles and sixth in the 100-yard free style), and Jim Thomas
(fifth in the 1650 yard free
styl~).
31
Anderson also looks for a couple of freshmen--Mark
Morrill and Doug Jones--to strengthen the Wildcats in divinga
Morrill was the state champion last year at Stadium High School
in Tacomao
Other promising freshmen are:
Terry Hiller, Tacoma; Dick
Swanson, Everett; Greg Wilson, Troutdale, Oreo; Jim Copeland,
Tacoma; Tom Davis, Seattle; Jim Vodar, Seattle; Bob Straight,
Bellevue; and Ken Hall, Pullmano
The Wildcats also have one
transfer student on the team, Mike Carey, senior from Texas

to Portland State College in a combined District I and II Championship meet.

Warren and Eric Olson.
Warren went to the nationals in the 145-
pound division and Olson was the District I and II Champion for
the 191-pound weight class.
Besides these outstanding returnees,
Beardsley also has juniors VerNon Merkley (167), Dallas DeLay
(177) and Ron Baze (137) along with senior Bob Davidson (191).
Strength will also be added winter quarter when senior Rick Leifer
(130) returns.
Squad members back from last year to help strengthen the
team are senior Darren Sipe (177), juniors Bill Rackley (160)
and Jim Lettie (167), and sophomores Jim Herman (123)
9

ner (130) and David Barton (177).
