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.
