The second major sport of 1968 goes into full swing tonight at 7:00 as the University of Miami basketball team takes on the FSU Seminóles in the opening round of the first Sunshine Classic.
The hoopsters will try to give UM sports fans something to cheer about after a disappointing football season. Coach'Ron Godfrey iS going with four newcomers in an effort to pull off an upset and start the season right.
“We’re not going with experience,” Godfrey-said, “because the new men played the best in practice. I’m going with who showed the most.”
Don Curnutt, the “Tipton Flash” is the only holdover and his 22-point a game average from last year could have something to do with it.
Three sophs are in the lineup with Willie Allen at forward, Dave Roddy at guard and Ron Welch at center. Wayne Canady, an AU-America junior college transfer is the other forward.
This is the first year for the Sunshine Classic which displays the state’s top four teams. The tourney

. . . Godfrey
has class with a pre-season top 20 team in FSU and a pre-season top 10 group in the Gators from Florida. Jacksonville U. boasting its best team and great Rod MacIntyre xounds out the contest.
Ron Godfrey is in his second year as coach of UM, taking over for Bruce Hale, now general manager for the Oakland Oaks. Godfrey took a team supposedly on a rebuilding year and brought it to a 17-11 record.
The 29-year-old Godfrey admits to being satisfied with last year’s record in which the ‘Canes were devastating at home and plain awful on the road.
“We didn’t have the material to win on the road,” said Godfrey. “It takes a different kind of guy. This year we have the potential to win on the road.”
The Hurricanes play their first seven games away from home and Godfrey would like to see the potential develop quickly.
And what about Florida State? The Seminóles pasted Valdosta State on Monday, 122-75.
“They (Seminóles) conrolled the rebounds 77-31,” Godfrey said. “I don’t think they’ll be able to pull
that on us.”
Last year Miami only led in rebounding eight times. This year, with the 6’8” Welch, 6’7” Canady and 6’5” Allen, the story should be different.
You can hear it for yourself tonight at 7:30 on radio WKAT (1360). Sonny Hirsch will bring all the play by play.

Cuban Students Gather In Union Breeaseway

Cuban Student Slayings Commemorated By March
last Wednesday approximately 100 UM Cuban students commemorated Nov. 27, 1871 — the day the Spaniards killed nine Cuban students by a firing squad.
"The demonstration had a double purpose,” said Juan Luis .Sanchez, UM student. "We were remembering the nine students and also recognizing the fact that today students are still being killed in Cuba.”
The celebration which was sponsored by the UM Federation of Cuban Students began at 7 p.m. when they gathered in front of Deel Ford on Le-Jeune Road and Ponce.

Editor
Re-named
The Board of Publications elected Mrs. Pamela Amlong and Greg Shapley to the positions of Hurricane Editor and Associate Editor respectively for the spring semester in their meeting Monday. In the same meeting, Thomas B. Wilson III was reelected Editor of Tempo Magazine, and Mary Fik-sel was elected Tempo Associate Editor.
The Board, with Dr. John B. McCollum, head of the University’s English Department presiding, also elected Barry Munchick to succeed himself as Hurricane Business Manager.
Mrs. Amlong, presently The Hurricane Executive Editor, was opposed by Joe Albert of U.S.G., and by Randy Femmer, this year’s Homecoming chairman. Shapley was elected over Albert and fellow staff member Jeffrey H. Orloff.
Munchick faced the current Tempo Business Manager, Craig Gorson. The position of Tempo Business Manager went uncontested and Gorson has declared in the wake of his defeat that he will not accept the post next semester.

Ted Hendricks, UM’s Mad Stork, Twiggy, etc. might have another name coming to him — the Aqua Velva Man.
Not that we want to have fun at poor Ted’s expense, but the way he carried on in front of NBC T.V. Monday night in the Tonight Show was just too much to pass up.
A guest of the show with five other All Americans, including O. J. Simpson, Ted was asked by Johnny Carson to sell an imaginative product so he would get some training. Carson said if he turned pro chances were he would be doing a lot of advertising.
So Ted agreed. The only Cont. on p. 16
