Sophs May Be Key To KU Basketball
Four key sophomore men will find plenty of room on the varsity basketball team this year, according to Coach Dick Harp.
Jim Hoffman, Phil Raisor, Bob Hickman, and Alan Donaghue look like the most promising players from last year's freshman team Harp said.
Sophomores To Help
"We feel we will have to have these new men for the depth we will need." Harp said.
Harp felt the sophomores could really help out. All of them have good potential. He said Hickman is a good strong boy and Hoffman is a fine all-around athlete.
"Donahue-probably has the best set shot on the team," he said. "Raisor had knee trouble last year and never had an opportunity to demonstrate his ability." Harp said.
Raisor, a six-foot guard, had a cartilage taken out of each knee the summer before he started school and the knees never quite healed. He said he has been working this summer lifting weights and running to strengthen his knees.
Hickman Indiana All-Star
In high school Raisor lettered three years in basketball and baseball and one year in golf. He was elected to the all-state team one year and the all conference team for two years.
Another guard, Hickman, was on the Indiana all-star basketball team his senior year and was also chosen for the scholastic all-America team. He is 6-2 and weighs 190 pounds.
Hickman played 10 games in the state tournament with a cast on one arm scoring an average of 19 points per game during the tournament.
Donaghue and Hoffman, both 6-foot, 4-inches tall, played across the
river from each other in Kansas City. Donaghue went to Wyandotte High School and Hoffman went to Northeast.
In their high school careers they came together once in a game. Both men scored 20 points but Wyandotte won the game.
Donaghue was chosen all-state and all-city for two years. In his junior year he broke the state tournament scoring record and won the most valuable player award, as Wyandotte, riding a 31-game victory streak, lost the title to Newton.
Hoffman lettered in basketball and track four years and was the state high jump champion. He was all-state for two years and was voted the most valuable player of the Missouri State Tournament.

With KU's injury list reaching a season's high of 14, coach Chuck Mather said the Jayhawkers would probably have no more contact this week.
Mather, despite a slow drizzle today, sent his squad through defensive scrimmage work plus punt and kickoff returns.
Frank Gibson, Dale Remsberg, Walt Schmidt and Tom Horner were added Tuesday to the 10 men that missed both practices this week. This includes the entire starting KU backfield of Don Feller, Homer Floyd, Charley McCue and Wally Strauch. Two first team linemen, Bob Kraus and Ed Prelock, are also among the ailing.
The Oklahoma Interscholastic Press Assn. is the oldest of its kind in the nation. It was established at the University in 1916.
Of the fourteen men sidelined, however, only quarterback Bob Marshall is expected to miss Saturday's game against the Iowa State Cyclones in Lawrence.
