Ducks Set Cage Opener
By Jerry Claussen
Emerald Sports Writer
Oregon's dark-horse basket
ball team will open the 1954-55
season tonight when they meet
Santa Clara's Broncos in the sec
ond half of a twin bill at Mc
Arthur court.
Oregon State will play Cali
fornia in the first half of the
two-game attraction that will be
featured by rededication cere
monies of McArthur court be
tween the two contests. The Bea
rers and Bears will clash at 7:30
followed by the Ducks and Bron
cos game about 9.
Three of the four teams will
be playing their first game of
the two-day old hoop season to
night. Only Oregon State has
game experience and they showed
flashes of their favorite’s role as
Northern Division defending
champions in their 69-47 win over
Hawaii's touring Rainbows Wed
nesday night at Corvallis.
Teams Arrive
The two California clubs ar
rived in Eugene by plane yes
terday afternoon and held short
workouts in preparation for the
games tonight. Both the Bears
and the Broncos are question
marks because of their lack of
veterans following the gradua
tion of several stars from last
year.
Fans will witness this year’s
return of one old basketball
rule and the innovation of an
other at the twin bill tonight.
The NCAA has brought back
the 30-minute half to the game
after an absence of several
years which saw games being
divided into four 10-minute
quarters. The old rule was
brought back in an effort to
speed up games.
Once again as in the past few
seasons a change in the free
throw rule has been made. The
new' rule states that if a player
TONY VLASTELICA
OSC Center
sinks his first free shot after a
foul, he gets another try. This is
the reverse of last season’s rule
which said that if a fouled player
missed his first shot, he got an
other try. Officials felt that the
new rule would cut down on
fouling by rewarding accuracy
at the free throw line.
Another treat in store for
opening-night fans will be a look
at the new balconies recently in
stalled in McArthur court which
raises its capacity to 10,000, one
of the biggest in the nation. An
other feature of the balconies is
that no seat is more than 28
rows from the playing floor,
something that no large basket
ball pavilion in the country can
match.
Oregon Ready
Oregon Coach Bill Borcher
has been drilling his sophomore
studded squad for over a month
in an effort to make the opening
of his fourth season at Oregon
a success. Borcher and Assistant
Coach Barney Holland have had
only five lettermen on a squad
of nearly 20 candidates around
which to build a team and the
Ducks’ success this season will
depend greatly on the perform
ance of several untried cagers.
BOB McKEEft
California Center
All five veterans are expeet
ed to fill starter’s roles for the
Santa Clara game tonight.
Center .Jim Loseutoff has been
particularly impressive in Duck
workouts so far and will be
counted on to share a big part
of the scoring and backboard
duties.
The other four Ducks slated
to open against Santa Clara in
clude big Max Anderson and Ray
Bell at forwards and the hard
working duo of Jerry Ross and
Howard Page at the guard spots.
Page and Loseutoff are the only
seniors on the squad while the
other three starters are juniors.
Also likely to see action to
night for Oregon are two highly
regarded sophomores that also
shine on the football field. Big
Bill Moore, a hook-shot special
ist from The Dalles, and Phil Mc
Hugh, a former Central Catholic
star, will operate at forward and
guard, respectively, in top fill-in
roles.
Other Ducks, rated high on the
list of replacements include Gary
McManus, a junior forward with
varsity experience, and Sopho
mores Jack Sherman, Bob An
derson, Ed Bingham and Richi
Costi.
Sophs on Brone Team
Santa Clara, a perenniel NCAA
playoff team, will also be field
ing a squad with few lettermen
