Dixieland Soothes Hoopsters
By John Whitty
Coach BUI Borcher's basketball
team is now fully equipped to go
out and tear the Northern division
apart this year. The phonograph
•ms arrived. Both before and after
Monday's practice session, the
“soft" strains of Dixieland music
could be heard floating through
■ the Mac Court dressing room.
The phonograph, wits its jazz
records, has been an integral part
of Borcher's coaching system for
the past six years at Marshfield
^Aigh. and the Oregon mentor's suc
cess at that school indicates that
Hts effect upon the players was
•ffooi. Coach Borcher claims that
■ho uses the record player to relax
his players and make them feel
more at ease, but we have; a sus
j^tcion that its presence cau be ex
-yi-uned in part by the interest
which the tall mentor himself has
«•« good rhythm.
During Monday's practice, the
team was drilled on correcting
weaknesses which showed up in
last Saturday's scrimmage. The
first quarter-hour of the session
was spent in work on rebound
screening by all the members of
the team.
Individual offense and defense
work came next, with special em
phasis being placed on pivot shots
from the key. Borcher next put
his charges to work on shooting
practice. He recommended that
; each of them strive to perfect a
i certain shot and instructed all of
them to develop a moving juriip
shot.
Four men on three drills fol
lowed, with one of the four being
placed in the key at the post posi
tion. In this drill, the offensive
players attempt to set up lay-in
shots by means of quick passes,
each pass followed by a screen.
Jim Livesay looked good at the
post position, anu ura iiuiu |
pod n number of difficult lay-ln
shots through the hoop.
About fifteen minutes was spent
in going over the set offense, which
was bad in Saturday’s scrimmage.
This was followed by work in the
fast break and set offense together.
The session was closed after a
number of short scrimmages. All
during the day's practice both Bob
Peterson and Chet Noe looked
i good on lebouruling, us they vir
tually dominated the boards. Mel
1 Streeter also showed up well in
! this department.
Spirit Good
One thing which was particularly
noticeable was the spirit of the
players both in practice and in
the Saturday scrimmage
Coach Borcher commented on
' the squad's fire, saying he was
■pleased with the hustle and en
1 thusiasm displayed by the players

Heinrich Out
For Season
With Injury
SEATTLE, WASH. (U.P>
i Don Heinrich, Washington's great
! pass-slinging quarterback, today
was sidelined for the rest of the
season, but he may be back in ac
tion with the Huskies next year.
Heinrich has not seen competi
tion with Washington at all this
year. A shoulder separation suf
fered during scrimmage prior to
Washington's first contest has kept
him out of duty.
Because he wHl not play this
season, Heinrich, a senior, will have
one more year of eligibility with
Washington.
If he is not drafted into the
armed forces or signed by a pro
fessional football club, the crafty
quai terback undoubtedly will be on
the Husky lineup again.
Washington Athletic Director
Harvey Cassill announced the de
cision to bench Heinrich.
"Upon the advice of team phy
sician John Geehan and consulting
doctors on the case, we have de
cided that in Don's best interests,
it would not be wise to permit him
to play this year,” Cassill said.
"After several abbreviated work
outs during the past two weeks, it
is apparent to both Don and the
physicians that his recovery has
not come along as rapidly as hoped.
Furthermore, in his present con
dition Don would be considerably
more susceptible to a further in
jury."
The announcement was not un
expected. School athletic officials
said the decision on whether or
not Heinrich would play in Wash
ington's remaining games this fall
would be made after the Washing
lon-Stanford game. Washington
