Bill Borcher
Resigns As
UO BS Coach
Eugene. Ore. CUR) Bill Bor
cher resigned yesterday as bas
ketball coach at University of
Oregon after five seasons.
Borcher said his future plans
are indefinite. He said he had
"talked to Seattle University,"
but he was not sure that any
thing would come of it.
Athletic Director Leo Harris,
who is vacationing in California,
notified University President O.
Meredith Wilson that he will be
gin looking for a new coach
when he returns to Eugene.
Differences
There were reports that Bor
cher resigned because he and
Harris differed on recruiting pol
icy. The resignation confirmed re
ports that Borcher was on his
way out after five seasons as
head coach for the Ducks.
In accepting -Borcher's resig
nation, Dr. Wilson said, "Bill
Borcher brought to Oregon inter
esting basketball and well-coached
teams that were pleasing to
watch. He was one of the finest
students of the game I have ever
known."
Harris said: "Bill Borcher is an
excellent basketball coach and
did a very fine job with our
teams in the last five years. We
certainly wish him every success
in his future plans."
Borcher was a basketball
player at Oregon and built for
midable high school basketball
powers at Marshfield prior to
taking over the head coaching
duties for the Ducks.
Russell Leads West
To 74-62 Shrine Win
Kansas City, Mo. (U.P.) Bill
Russell of San Francisco, a hero
all over again from the East
West Shrine All-Star game, said
today "There isn't enough money
to keep me from' trying for the
Olympics."
Russell, who sparked the West
to a 74-62 win in Monday night's
game, meant that money from
the pro ranks wouldn't lure him
away from being an amateur for
the games at Melbourne this No
vember. Outstanding Player
The 6-10 All-America was nam
ed unanimously as the outstand
ing player of the classic. He was
high point man with 18 points,
and as usual his big arms cut
down scoring from the oppo
nents. Once again he played with
K. C. Jones, his All-America
teammate, for an almost unbeat
able duo for Coach Floyd Stahl's
West All-Stars.
Russell scored the game's first
basket and sat out the latter
stages as his replacement, 7-foot
Don Holdebuck of Houston hit
ten straight points for the West
to insure the win.
The West jumped to a 14-0
lead in the game, six of the points
by Russell, before the East tal

When "Goose" Tatum and

Games are scheduled for Tues

Tag Teams Vie
At Grants Pass
Grants Pass Main event at
the Fairgrounds wrestling arena
this Wednesday will be an Aus
tralian tag team match which
will see the northwest champ
ions, Jack O'Reilly and Kurt
von Poppenheim, going against
Leapin' Larry Chene and Ritd
Romero.
Poppenheim was demanding
a chance at Chene's junior heavy
title after he had won the ver
dict last week but Chene flatly
refused. Chene was nearly hung
when he missed a tackle and
twisted into the ropes. When
released he dropped to the floor
and was counted out.
Romero jumped up and tried
to keep Poppenheim at bay and
they swapped a couple of punch
es. Matchmaker Owen said that
the team match would give all
of their grudges a chance to
have at it.
Last week O'Reilly held Ro
mero to a one hour draw in a
rugged match. In the prelims
this time Chene will meet
O'Reilly and Romero will get
a crack at Poppenheim.
Coach Too Realistic
In Wrestling Show
Eugene (U.R) Oregon wres

little too realistic while demon
strating a wrestling held at the
NCAA wrestling rules commit
tee meeting. Today he is in an
Oklahoma City hospital with a
broken leg.
The accident occurred when
Hammer and another coach
were demonstrating a point.
Hammer is expected to be re
leased from the hospital some
time this week.

Box Office Draw

"draws." But the Magicians,
owned by Tatum and Haynes,
are a lot more than two fellows
on the court.
For instance, Boyd Buie, an
other ex-Trotter, is the only one
armed player in pro ranks today
and rates as a fine guard. He's
a veteran of 10 years in the big
time.
Youngest Pro Cager
Then the Magicians boast the
youngest pro eager in the game,

Ark. Haynes says Phillips is the
fastest man on the hardboards
today.
Every good team has a tall
fellow that can go up for the re
bounds and come down with the
ball. For the Magicians that man
is six-foot, eight-inch Lester
Burks from Grambling college,
La.
The Olympians have a basket

tune up campaign throughout
California floored the Reno,

its money's worth.
