By HOWARD APPLEGATE United Press Sports Writer Eugene, Ore. (U.R) A lack of size and experience promise a rugged basketball season for the University of Oregon this winter where Steve Belko takes over as coach after a highly success ful career at Idaho State. Oregon has seven lettermen back from last year's club which finished in sixth place in the Pa cific Coast Conference. But only two of these were starters. The two biggest jnen on the squad are Hal Duffy, a 6-6 re serve center last season, and Eli Morgan, same height, who saw no action at all. Both have been tabbed as tentative starters, how ever. Free Shooting Prospect Belko, whose Idaho State teams featured a free shooting game said he believed Oregon would improve as the season goes along and might have some sur prises in store for the favored clubs. He replaced Bill Borcher as head master of the Webfoots. Top scoring prospect for the Webfoots is Charlie Franklin, a 6-3 forward from Los Angeles who came along fast last season. But Franklin has been sidelined by a lack of classroom houcs and is not expected to rejoin the team u til early December. Another probable starter is Phil McHugh, the fine football i end who is a two-year letterman 1 guard. McHugh just finishe'd the football season and he may be lost to the basketball squad for 1 a longer time should he be chosen to play on the West Shrine football team. 1 Battling Guards i Battling for the other starting guard position are four players with Wimp Hasting, a 5-10 let terman, or Dick Valentine, a 6-1 transfer from Santa Maria, Calif., looking best in early drills. Bud Kuykendall, the only member of the 1955-56 Oregon freshman team on the varsity, and Johnny Lundell, a letterman last year are the other guards The second set of forwards 1 (Try the ' ' 2 ' 0 Well admit it quite frankly. "New" is a word that's used a lot. But seldom has it meant so much that's fresh and different and better-than-before as here in the newest Buick yet. Take the new styling, because that's so obvi ous even at a glance. To get it so sweepingly low, the engineers started right from the bottom, with a brand-new type of chassis construction. It's an ingenious "nested" chassis that reduced car height as much as 3.4 inches, giving new lowness and raciness tg the styling without reducing road clearance below or room inside. It's a massive I-beam, X-frame chassis that's . stronger and sturdier and permits a new low center of gravity that gives this Buick far surer, far safer readability. That's the picture on style and beauty' and rugged brawn in every '57 Buick. But no such picture can give you -the feel. 143 Friday, November 30, 1956 Experience Will probably will be td Bingham, a 6-2 veteran of two seasons, and Bill Moore, a 6-4 letterman who has been sidelined with a creck ed ankle. The rest of the squad is un tested. Henry Ronquillo, transfer from East Los Angeles City Col lege, is 6-3 and may help out up front. , Oregon opens its conference season Jan. 11-12 at California.
