By BILL CROWLEY Sentinel Sportswriter Coaching basketball teams today is vastly different than it was a few years ago. Phil Woolpert, guest speaker at the fifth annual Sentinel-Kiwanis All Western League Awards banquet yesterday morning. opined that "it's a whole new ballgame. "The picture has changed because the kids have changed," the current athletic director at the University of San Diego said. "Kids don't accept the same old rot. They have a more questioning attitude. They want to know why they should do something. "And I think that's good. It's a sign that today's young basketball players have greater perceptiveness and that they are a more intelligent group than those in the past" Woolpert, who coached an unknown University of San Francisco team from the depths of anonymity to two national championships, also commented on some of the hardships that face high school and college student athletes today, such as signing with pro teams while still in school and the repercussions of such a move. Woolpert told the All Western Leaguers, their parents and their friends anecdotes of Bill Russell's career The big man from the Los Angeles Laker squad was one of Woolpert's college charges, and Russell still seeks out the San O1egan for advice. Joimng Woolpert at the head table at the Sands Hotel were Bob Kloppenberg, head coach of the USIU Westerners, and Pat Downs, executive director of the Aztec Club San Diego State head coach Dick Davis was also invited, but was called away on business late in the week lhe senior forward and center of the Komets was awarded the John Havlicek Hustle Award for bis fine team performance throughout the season The trophy, sponsored by fax Shapiro's California Summer Basketball Camps, was presented by Sentinel managing editor Bill Edson for Shapiro, who was unable to attend because of out-of-town business commitments.

Phil Woolpert is a man with a past. He took a little known college basketball team and led them from the anonymity of the also rans to challenge and beat the great and mighty of the trade. His University of San Francisco teams twice won national honors and one of his players just might be the greatest player in the history of the game. Woolpert recruited, taught, coached, listened to and learned from Bill Russell the boy growing into man Now Bill Russell, the man. remembers and returns the friendship in his own way. Sentinel-Ki wams 1972 All League Basketball players, guests, friends and family will hear of Russell and his assault on the path to maturity and success Saturday morning. And maybe, just maybe, some of the lessons learned by Russell and shared with Woolpert will aid these cage-minded youngsters in their climb for the heights. Woolpert will be served along with eggs, toast and trophies at the fifth Sentinel Kiwanis All- Western League gathering Saturday following a 9 a.m. breakfast. "College 1s not a place to play basketball," said Woolpert in an interview of the not too long past. "College is the place to get an education. Basketball might help gel you there but study is what you're there for, not playing." Kearny's Chester Hancock will be one of the sit up and hsten crowd. If he applies himself to studies in college as well as he has to studies and athletics in the past, the academic world might be in for some shock! Hancock will receive the John Havlicek "Hustle" award , posted by Max Shapiro's California Summer Basketball Camp, as the doingest , workingest , hustlingest cager of the Western scene last campaign.

"What do you need? How can we help you reach youth?" That is the attitude Mike McDade brings to the Youth Committee. It is also much of the reason, Committee members find, that San Diego's newest committee has been such a success.

with high school and college age new voters. In 1966, while teaching and studying, Mike McDade ran for the Central Committee in the 79th AD. He resigned when he moved to the Clairemont area, but was ~oon chosen to fill a vacancy m the 76th AD. Mike served as Internal Affairs Com- mittee Chairman and was re- appointed to that post at the beginning of the 1971 term. but by February, the ne~ Youth Committee was in need of a chairman and Mike was the obvious choice. The Youth Committee has become a coordinating group for all County organizations involved with youth. Due to Mike's talents as a moderator, it has become invaluable in this role. By listening and evaluating Mike helps others t~ crystalize their ideas and formulate thorough programs. In addition members have learned that :'1ike will go to bat for a good idea that needs a helping ?and. Rather than imposing ideas, or rubber-stamping them, Mike seems to guide, shape or polish suggestions made. Mike McDade has made a success of a difficult assignment by clearing the way for full youth in- volvement in the GOP by making the GOP open 'and equal for all ages.

When Mike helped form the committee a year ago, no one knew just how the job of in- volving youth should be done. But everyone knew the need was great, and Mike was uniquely qualified to chair the new group. After graduating in 1963 with a Bachelor's degree from Georgetown University, Mike used his education in government and history to teach those classes at St. Augustine High School. While moving up to Vice Principal, Mike worked toward his Juris Doctorate at P the Univ~rsity of San Diego. I Although now at attorney in private practice, he has remained closely in touch
