Casaba Squad to be Rebuilt;
Borcher Faces Stem Test
Oregon's sophomore-dominated
basketball squad raced through
their third practice of the season
Wednesday as Coach Bill Borcher
gave the 22 varsity candidates a
thorough workout.
Limited by PCC rules to a two
hour practice. Borcher is using
his time economically in prepar
ing the relatively inexperienced
Ducks for their season's opener
with Santa Clara on December 3.
Wednesday the Oregon mentor
spent considerable time in per
fecting offensive plays with em
phasis on working around the
rpnfpr nost
Holland Assists
Assisted by Barney Holland,
Oregon cage star of the 1952-54
seasons, Boreher must build a
team from only four returning
lettermen from the 1954 team
plus a former cage letterman
from the 1951 season. Expected
to figure heavily in plans for the
season are Max Anderson at cen
ter, Ray Bell at forward, and
Jerry Ross and Howard Page at
guards from last year's team.
A returnee from 1951 is Jim
Losoutoff, a forward, one of
the biggest men on the squad
and a fine rebounder. Loscu
toff broke the all-time school
record for rebounds in 1951
with 898 for the 81-game sea
son that year. He scored 818
points, including 163 in North
ern division competition, and
was named to the All-Northern
division second team. Since
then he has been placing A All
ball.
In his fourth season at the Ore
gon helm, Boreher faces a re
building job this year with 15 of
the 22 hopefuls having no varsity
experience. Only Loseutoff and
Page are seniors in eligibility
and much time will be spent with
the first-year men in an effort to
find replacements for five gradu
ated lettermen.
