TEMPLETON MEN LOOK
LONGINGLY FOR GOOD
DRY PRACTICE FIELD
© Like Harry Wolter’s baseball gang, Coach
Dink Templeton’s track men are far behind
__ their workout schedule as a result of con-

tinued cold and rain. Because he has been un- —
able to work his squad out normaily, “jj

& Templeton doesn’t know what the
year may bring but if he could only
have Bunn’s Hank Luisetti in the
high jump and some assurance Ed-

son Burrows would get well, he wouldn’t
complain.

Burrows, who was counted one of the
strongest college distance men in the West,
is suffering from an ankle injury received in
a touch football game and may not round
into shape this year.

Luisetti, of course, will be tied down by
basketball until but a few days before the
first track meet.

How They Stack Up

Here is a resume of Stanford’s possibilities
in order of events:

1oo-yard dash— Voight, Heiserman,
Thompson and Williams. Voight is a vet-
eran. His best mark is 9.9 seconds. Heiser-
man is a transfer from San Mateo and has
done ro flat. Thompson was a good fresh-
man prospect and Fred Williams, though
heavy, has been a point winner in past years.

220-yard dash—Weiershauser, Heiserman
and Voight. The first has done 21.3, the
second 21.5. Weiershauser was a consistent
point winner all the way last year in this as
well as the 440.

44o-yard run—Kneubuhl, Weiershauser,
Malott, Oberg and Slater. In this event,
Weiershauser with a record of 47.5 is, of
course, the best. Kneubuhl and Malott have
both been under 50 seconds.

880-yard run—McCurdy, Malott and Bur-
rows are the leaders here, the former with
a record of 1:53.2 and Malott with 1:56.2.
McCurdy is rated by many as the best half-
mile prospect on the Coast.

Weaker Here
Mile run—Alexander, Beman and March.

HANK LUISETTI LEADS
CAGE SCORERS OF LAND;

 

 

 

 

PLANS RECORD SMASH

 

If sensational Hank Luisetti, Stan-

- ford's greatest basketball player, only

knew what the scoring record was,
he'd know when he had beaten it. But
for some reason the record books dis-
agree and all Hank can do now is to
score so much there won't be any
question.

At the close of the Stanford-Santa
Clara game February 21, he had
scored his 1084th point as a Redshirt.
Of these, 305 were scored as a fresh-
man.

He leads coast conference scorers
for the season by a spectacular mar-
gin with 179 points. Closest competi-
tor is Ball of U. C. L. A. with 110
points. He has three more games in
which to gather eights points for a
new conference scoring record. Since
he is but one point short of an aver-
age of 20 per game, he ought to
make it.

Holder of the official record for
varsity competition is Robert Many of
Lehigh University with 632 points in
three years of varsity play. Hank has
long since passed that mark. How-
ever, Glen Roberts of Emory and
Henry, Virginia, has a four-year total
of 1531 points of which 1239 were
scored in his final three years. Why
his record has not been written into
the books nobody knows. Luisetti will
feel he has really won the world's title
only when he has beaten all records,
official and unofficial.

To beat all marks, Luisetti must pass
the 1200-point stage in the remaining
games on Stanford's schedule .and
garner 332 next year. But since he has
been averaging around 400 per sea-
son in varsity play, it is not the diffi-

_-cult task one would think.

 

 

 

 

GREATEST INDIAN CAGE
TEAM HOLDS OWN PLACE
IN CONFERENCE BATTLE

® Stanford’s perfect basketball record came
to its close in Los Angeles, January 29, when
Sam Barry’s Trojans overcame the Luisetti-
led Indians by a three-point margin.
The score was 39-42.

Next night the enraged Indians
went on a scalping spree and mur-
dered the Trojans 61 to 49 with
Luisetti in his customary lead with 26 points.

That evened up the series and conference
standing. Thus, when U. S. C. dropped one
of two games to California a week later
while Stanford was defeating U. C. L. A.
42-40 and 67-38, it put the Cards in undis-
puted lead. This they bettered subsequently
by defeating California for the third straight
game for the first time in history.

Cards Well Ahead

Only three games remain—the fourth with
California and two more with U. S. C. and
all of them are on Stanford’s court. The
Cards need to win but one to be tied with
the Trojans. Should they win the first two,
the race will be over.

The first Stanford-California game was
reported in the last Buck Bulletin, a Card
victory by a 51-35 margin.

The second also came Stanford’s way in

 

oe of the illness of Jack Calderwood, the

injury to Howell Turner, who had strained
an arch, and the early fouling out of Luisetti.

With 12 minutes to go, the Cards. led
37-30 when Luisetti committed his fourth per-
sonal and Indian supporters felt jitters en
route. Sore arch and all, Turner ran into the
game but it was Captain Dinty Moore, Art
Stoefen and Bob Zonne who rang up buckets
so fast that Stanford was safely away.

History Is Made

The final score was 50-3'7 and for the
first time on record the Redshirts had won
their second successive game from the Bears.

Their next meeting was on California’s
own floor and the Cards found the Nibs
Price men at their best. Their defensive
game was supetb and it was only by the

fast floor work of Luisetti that the John
