"Duck By Chuck Mitchelmore Emerald Sports Writer mmm Winter sports have nearly passed from ns. so before the lull during which spring activities get ready to come out of hiding, it falls to us to tie tip a few loose end?. Everything has just about been covered in the way of basketball for the final Northern Division year and the wire services, magazines and general experts-at-large are in the midst of their annual flood of all all-stars, but there remain a few items worth perhaps passing comment. Oregon seniors Jim LoscutolY and Howard Page provided the highlights that kept 1954-55 Webfoot basketball from being just another routine season. I.oscutofT pleased crowds with his antics and Duck fans with his scoring and rebound ing. as well as maintaining a steadying influence on the team. It was Page who led the little men with his hustle and guided operations out front for Bill Borcher’s crew. Al though criticized throughout his hoop career, he finished it with many praiseworthy performances and played the role of Duck co-captain well. As Borcher remarked. “Lefty just played too many of his best games away from home.” Loscutoff Honored Lusky received a bit more honor this week when he was named honorable mention on the NCAA district 8 all-star team in Collier’s annual All-American article. Col lier's top squads, picked by 234 members of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, manage to include most of the nation’s- top stars, but the players look somewhat strange in the surroundings given them by the XARC. First team honors went to Dick Ricketts and Si Green of Duquesne, Robin Freeman of Ohio State. Don Schlundt of Indiana and of course Tom Gola of La Salle. San Fran cisco’s pride. Bill Russell, was relegated to the second five and Furman’s Darrell Floyd, a usual top-mention pick, was stuck on the third team. Washington's Dean Larsons was the only northwest play er on the star squad for district 8. which includes California, Oregon. Washington, Idaho and Nevada. Russell and Cal’s Bob McKeen were two other picks, along with high-scoring Ron Tomsic of Stanford. Ken Sears, the Santa Clara smoothie who nearly bounced Oregon single-handedly, tied for the fifth spot with L'SC’s Dick Welsh. Holbrook Ignored Honorable mentions tor XD men in addition to LoscutfT went to W SC’s Ron Bennink and Tony Vlastelica and Jay Dean of Oregon State. Swede Haibrook missed recognition. IncidentaHv. district 8 representative on the selection board was Tippy Dye of Washington. In district 7, the Rocky Mountain area, familiar names receiving honorable mention were Brigham Young’s Terry Tebbs and Utah's Morris Buckwalter. Buckwalter was an all-state selection while at La Grande high school. Coach Yern Sterling's freshman wrestlers provided the most success in Oregon’s second year of intercollegiate wrestling. The Frosh lo>t only to Lebanon high school and finished in the middle of a three-way match with Klamath Falls and Grants Pass. Matmen Good on Road The varsity matmen had their best success on their recent road trip to California, where they topped San Jose State. Stanford and California. They’ll try for some individual wins next Friday and Saturday at the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate meet in San Luis Obispo. University students will be allowed to view games dur ing the coming state high school basketball tournament for student prices except on Friday and Saturday nights, according to the ticket office. Adult prices will be charged on these playoff nights. Season tickets will be good only for high school students. •The athletic department moves into Leo Harris' pride and joy, its new offices, this Saturday.
