Athletic Director Leo Harris declared that Borcher, current ly in the same capacity at Marshfield High School, Coos Bay, will step into the position immediately. The hiring of Borcher is subject to the approval of the State Boar<l of Higher Education. The an nouncement came just six days be fore the opening of the Ducks’ practice sessions. After a morning session with University President Harry K. Newbury and the University ath letic board, Harris revealed the news at 11 p.m. Borcher, 32, a University of Ore gon graduate, '41, was a first string center for the Webfoots dur ing the majority of the 1940-41 basketball calendar. His Marshfield prepsters have won 158 of 19G games during his six-year tenure, including a state championship in 1947. Harris’ statement regarding the new cage boss: "I think we are getting one of the best young bas ketball coaches in the business. We expect him to do a fine job at the University of Oregon and are very fortunate to secure his services at this time. He will be ready to as sume his duties on October 15.” Warren Pleased Informed by the Emerald of Borcher's new post. Warren, now owner of Joe Gordon's hardware store, expressed surprisedly “Oh, fine, very fine. I think he'll do them (Oregon; a very good job.” Ironically, a feature on Borcber in an Emerald dated Feb. 1, 1941 said of Borcher: “He has coaching ambitions which tend to lean to ward his favorite sport—basket ball.” Borcher. who played for the Ducks during the regime of How ard Hobson, now guiding the for tunes of Yale University basket ball, was described as an outstand ing defensive star, a great off-the boards man and a consistent team man. Probably his greatest effort re sulted in an Oregon upset victory over the OSC Beavers, 41-31. Bor cher tallied 10 times in a wild, sec ond half Duck rally. During the Second World War, Borcher coached the Jaksonville, Fla., Naval Air Station quintet and also played football. The new tutor also saw the other side of the war, aboard the US airplane carrier Wasp in the Pacific. <Please turn to page jour) Major Santelmann to Direct US Marine Band in Concert When Maj. Wiliam F. Santel mann raises his baton at 8 p.m. Thursday in McAthur Court to di rect the United States Marine Band, the audience will hear a pro gram characterized by charm, warmth, informality and excellent showmanship, according to O. W. Trapp, tour manager. A Buffalo music critic, speak ing of the Marine Band, said, “To get a full picture of the talents of this smartly uniformed band, one must consider first the conductor, Maj. Wiliam F. Santelmann, whose personable styles marks him one of the most capable of program commentary in the concert world." Like a Performance “Always play everything as if you were actualy giving a perform ance." Such is the advice offered by Robert Isele, trombonist with the band. “You must always play with integrity, giving your instru ment your best,” is the advice of Isele. As a high school student, Isele won first place in national trom bone competition for three con secutive years. When he was 10, Isele was invited the band leader composer-trombonist Arthur Pry or .to solo one of Pryor’s own com positions at a special concert. Commenting on the reaction of the western communities to the music of the Marine Band, Charles Owen, percussionist and marimba soloist of the band, says, “. . . they appreciate the rarer occasion of hearing and seeing the Marine Band in person, and this I know . . . the audience reaction in the West is most excellent.” Harpist With Concert Band Claude Ft. Pedicord, harpist with the Marine Band, is one of the few harpist ever to play with an con cert band, according to Trapp. "The harp provides a good con trast in a concert band," Pedicord says. "Brass is used extensively I and the harp acts as a balancing ] instrument . . . creating the quiet and more relaxing mood.” Reserved seat tickets for the concert are SI.SO, general admis sion is $1.20, and student price is 70 cents. | Tickets for the concert are avail | able at the main desk in the Stu [ dent Union.__
