PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5. 1941. Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Tigers Have Only Three Lettermen For Casaba Squad Tiger basketball prospects could be brighter, much brighter, than they appear to the naked eye today. Just three days before Russ Acheson calls the first official workout for his 1841-42 squad. With a mere three lettermen available for tills season s quln tet, the Mcdford mentor Is faced with the serious task of bring ing up two members of last year's second squad to work with the trio of strlpe-winners. not to mention the development of several capable varsity re serves. All that remains of the squad that last year tied for the dis trict 4 championship, only to lose in the playoff game to Hose- burg, are Henry Herman, cen ter and captain-elect; Bill Wall, alternate center and Lee Reyn olds, guard. In view of the fact that Ash land and Grants Pass are both lousy with experienced return' ing lettermen, the local situation doesn't look too rosy, so far as championships hopes are con cerned. Acheson, however, didn't seem down in the mouth when talking about the business. He mentioned, merely, that In all probability the Tigers would have only one first team this season in contrast to the 10-man varsity of last year, In which two quints operated as a unit much of the time. "It will probably be differ erent this year," Russ explain ed. "I don't believe we'll have 10 players of equal ability, so ! we'll be forced to leave the starting five In there as long as possible and make single substitutions when needed." Up from last year's second squad to make bids for varsity berths are 16 tossers, many of whom have been working out an hour daily for the past few weeks. They are Warren Hol brook, Don Fawcett, Darrell Monteith, Hal Adams, Alan Weir, Robert Stacy, Ike Orr, Bill Bayliss, Ray McAllister, Norton Smith, Richmond Shel ley, Dick McElhose, Herbert Edwards, R. B. Webber, John Ousterhout and Jack Kresse. Harold Peterson and Errol Cooper are transfers from North Dakota, and newcomers to the game are Floyd McClanahan, Dillon Arnold, Charles Bucher, Ray Robinson, Bill VanDyke and Louis Powell. They've been practicing, and Acheson saya. some of them show possibilities. The Tigers have 21 games slated, winding up with the Ore gon State Rooks here March 7 and including 12 district 4 games against Roseburg, Ash land and Grants Pass, four against each. The two Klamath Falls tilts will count in South ern Oregon colerence standing, but not in district 4.
