Boushka is arguably the 2nd best Billiken ever.  

1448 career points with a 19.3 scoring average.  Was the career leader in points for 18 seasons until Harry Rogers broke his record. 3rd team AA in 55, 3 time 1st team all MVC, Olympic Gold Medal winner, drafted by the Lakers he ended up being a standout on the AAU circuit for a team from Kansas.  Boushka became president of Vickers Petroleum, who sponsored his AAU team, President of the Naismith HOF, and also was a successful land developer and racetrack owner.  He was sentenced to federal prison in 02 for bank fraud and served a couple years.  Wish he had been a more present and vocal supporter of Billiken athletics.
