J VOTES SCATTERED Strangely enough Eugene, the diion 1 champion, gained only l berth on the top five Rasor. lever the well-balanced Axe- garnered their share of votes but they were not concentrated on any one particular player. Indica tive of this is the fact that three of Hank Kuchera's lads Gene Stott, Norm Willoughby and Jack Henkel gained second team spots along with Floyd Burright of Springfield and Dick Nelson of University. Only Willamette, in Division 1, failed to place a man on the first two teams. In Division 2, the champion Oakridgc club placed two other men on the second team, Glenn Williams and Bunky Beard. Join ing them on the runnerup squad were Jerry Robberson of Pleasant Hill, Larry Walsh of St. Francis and Gale Cragin of the Billies. Two men, one from each divi sion, were unanimous choices both as all-opponent selections and in top valuablcness to their teams. They were Paulson and Clark. Pakulak and Tuchardt both missed by one vote of being unanimous selections. In Division 1, Paulson, Pakulak, Hcacock and Radway were the heaviest choices, while Rasor edged out Henkel, Burright and Willoughby (in that order) for the fifth berth. PAULSON REPEATER Paulson is the only repeater from the 1952 District 6 all-star team, while Burright dropped from the first to the second team. Pakulak and Clark both climbed to the top ranking from second team berths last season. Exactly half of the 10 named are juniors and will be back next year. These arc Rasor, Radway, Burris, Tuchardt and Furrer. The rest arc graduating seniors. A run-down on the players: PAULSON: Leading scorer in Lane County "A" ranks with bet ter than 500 points . . . Boasts deadly one-hand jump shot which is impossible to stop. PAKULAK: One of hardest working cagers in area . . . Excels in both shooting and rebounding . . . Not a flashy player but one of the steadiest and most under estimated in the district. HEACOCK: Top reboundcr in Division 1 . . .

Now that Wvomine made the grade, you can be certain tv snciton will have his Cowpokcs ready after losing out to an underdog Santa Clara team last year. if The Lane County "B" and the District 6 basketball tourna ments arc a line example 01 an uniair manner oi nccimug a ciidin- pionship. . . . The B-lcagucrs, years ago, had some excuse for i county tourney. . . . The biggest basketball show in the county always needed some sort of a playoff because the league at one time was split in three divisions. . . . It has long been an established fact that league play (double round-robin) is the most just way to decide a champion, providing there is only one league which is the case in Lane County at the present time. . . . Had this been the method this season, Mohawk and McKcnzie would have played off for the crown, having tied through the regular season. . . . As for the District 6 championship, it would have been more logical to have Eugene play Oakridge in a three-game scries rather than having the present four-team double-elimination. . . . The "B" tournament would be difficult to eliminate because it is a traditional affair and fans tln-nughout the county would find something missing in their lives. . . There is nothing traditional in the District 6 play offs and we suspect it is nothing more than a money-maker. . . . Playoffs of the District 6 nature are a product of baseball's Shaughncssy system of having the top four team in an eight-team league hold a playoff which usually produced the real league cham pion and another club to win the Shaughnessy pennant a money making idea, pure and simple. k While in Seattle for the PCC and an at-large NCAA play offs, we figured another day would not be Tasted to attend the first round of the Washington "A prep tourney providing Elma, Wash., qualifies. . . . Local .basketball fans should be interested in the performance of Gary Nelson, the 7-foot, 214-inch Elma center who is scheduled to attend the University of Oregon next school year. . . . Frank Graham (Mildred and Bob) and Fred Peters have gone to "spring training." the Grahams to Riverside and Peters to Glcndalc, where the Portland Beavers are training. . . . Fred, one of Eugene's No. 1 trapshootcrs, will also trek to Arizona for a look at the New York Giants. . . . Frank is still interested in some sort of baseball for Eugene this summer and intimates Bethel park might be disposed of unless there is an immediate use for the park. ... There is still the possibility that Eugene could return to organized baseball, under a class "A" or "B" classification, along with Salem. . . . The Jay Gano basketball trophy, established by Mrs. Gano of Eugene in memory of her husband, an ex-Idaho star killed in the service, was awarded to Bruce Mcintosh, the under-rated Vandal. . . , The trophy, for the most inspirational player, was won by Sam Jen kins last year. . . . Tommy Flynn won the trophy as most valuable Idaho player. . . . . . . Handles himself very well for size (6-5, 220). RASOR: Fastest guard in the district, also smoothest ... Is deadly from both outside and in close with one-handcrs . . . Was Eugene's high scorer and along with Stott and Henkel gives Axe men the best ball-handling set around. RADWAY: Aggressive type play er who led team in scoring . . , Boasts terrific reactions and agil ity .. . hard man to check . . , Main weakness is over-aggressiveness. CLARK: Team leader for Oak ridge team . . . Both big and fast and can hit with equal ability from out or in close . . . Good rebound cr and uses speed in leading team s fast break. BURRIS: Still developing but has uncanny one-hand jump shot . Hard backboard worker, and led Division 2 in scoring this sea son. TUCHARDT: If Washington's Bob Houbregs is "Hooks," this lad "Hooks Jr. . . . Can shoot this type of shot with either hand and is deadly both ways . . . Excellent rebounder and if he continues im provement will rate the equal of ex-Eugenean Dean Parsons before graduation. BATES: Slickest ball handler in Division 2 . . . Did excellent job of feeding males in addition to be ing runnerup scorer on team . . . Was definitely sparkplug of sur prise Creswell club. FURRER: Lacked real polish but made up for it in determination and scrap . . . Not a high scorer but a steady scorer and good floor man who picked off his share of rebounds considering his compar atively small size.

Coach Bill Borchcr's Webfoots put seven new Northern Division team and two individual marks record and did such a com plete job on the school marks that only three individual standards held up and 32 of the 56 team rec ords went by tho boards. Big Chet Noe, one of tho finest pivot men in Oregon history, led the assault with ten performances which rated mention. In confer ence play he scored 307 points, tallied 103 field goals and 101 free throws, tried 17 free throws in one game and 153 in the sea son, captured 229 rebounds, and accounted for 10 field goals in one game (Idaho) to wipe out marks set up by such Oregon stalwarts as Dick Wilkins, Jim Loscutoff, Bob Peterson, Will Urban, Roger Wiley and Ken Hunt. MORE NOE RECORDS In non-conference games Noe's marks included 18 free throw tries in a single game, tried 239 during the season and made 150 for three more marks. Of the ten the re bounds and free throws attempted were new conference highs. Ken Wegner, with a .404 shooting aver age in conference action was the only man to break the Noe mono poly. As a team the Ducks broke the division single game scoring rec ord with 89 points against Idaho, smashed the game total with 158 points when the Vandals chipped in 69 points of their own, took 99 shots in the same game and 72 rebounds. The other two conference stan dards smashed were in free throw ing when the Ducks tried 574 and made 388, bettering the 468 tried and 300 made for Oregon last year. MORE RECORDS Elsewhere, the Ducks tried more free throws (45), made more (31), scored more points against each conference opponent in both single games and in tho four game series than ever before and also allowed more points against each team ex-! ccpt for Oregon State. The list of conference marks is conducted by an obvious fact, the Ducks were the highest scoring team in school history as they smashed all field goal and free throw attempted and made stan dards. The non-conference marks proved much the same as this edition of the Webfoots basketball squad kept up its constant bar rage of points.
