Eddie Sheldrake

Induction:
2000

A fiery little guard on the early John Wooden teams of 1949-50-51, Eddie was captain of the UCLA team during his senior season. These first Wooden teams went 65-24 and won three Southern Division championships including UCLA’s first full conference title and NCAA appearance in 1950. Eddie was named to the 1951 All-Conference team and was twice named to the “Little All-American” team. Sheldrake led the team in shooting percentage in 1950 and ’51 and also set a UCLA record with his 38 point effort against Stanford in 1951. In that season, he won the Coach Caddy Works Award for competitive spirit and contribution to the team. Over the years he has contributed generously in many way to the University and the basketball program.
