UPP H Walter Meyer star center nn the Kirkland high school quintet, was p : aced at center on the all-regional team selected by Sport Onceover, of the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel. Onceover also rat’d Meyer as the ‘outstanding man of the tournament" Bowman and Heller also of Kirkland, were placed on Onceover's second team. H. : s selections are: First Team Brockall. Central, forward Franko. Central, forward Pyle. Bluffton, forward Mey-r, Kirkland, center Shelder. Pierceton, center Ellenberger, Bluffton, guard Dill. Pierceton, guard Dornte, Central, guard. Second Team Bowman Kirkland, forward Hammond. Central, forward Richey, Blulfton, forward Lyons, Central, center Crosbie, Bluffton, center Cormany, Pierceton, guard Bash. Central, guard Heller, Kirkland, guard. In discussing his selections, Onceover says: 'One outstand n : feature of the Ft. Wayne regional was the plentitude of good centers. AT four of the teams entered had good men at the pivot position and it might be remarked that this plentitude of centers was unique in that there were no forwards or guards equally outstanding in their department of the game. "It’s enitrely posable that a lot <vf criticism may I>e directed justly at the writer's first team but I feel there is no question in the cases of Meyer, Shedler, Franke, Brockall, Ellenberger and Dornte. You can’t, keep them off the first squad. "Meyer, the Kirkland center, was the outstanding man of the tournament because of his uncanny basket eve. Meyer was a dangerous man at all times and likely to wreck the chances of the aopposition just when said opposition figured it had the game tucked safely away.

The Tigers had the honor of supplying the second high point man of the meet in Brockall who counted six field goals and a free throw in two games for 13 points. He was closely pushed for the runner-up (position by Shedler, the Pierceton center, who got 12 points as his team lost to Kirkland. "Shedler easily was second to Meyer as the best offensive man in the tournament and Ellenberger, of Bluffton, an J Dornte, of Central, were the outstanding defensive men.” "To Meyer and Brockhall go the honor of making the most sensational

Me, Too After studying the schedule for the >ig show at Indianapolis Friday and Saturday, it looks to us like Muncie would play Martinsville in the final lame again this year. Martinsville meets stiffer competition in reaching the final game than does Muncie, in our estimation. Since the two teams, when fresh, appear about equal, the iljove reasoning leads us to pick Muncie, just as Mr. Buckner, W. F. Fox. of the Indianapolis News, and everal other hit and miss pickers have dong. Next to Muncie and Martinsville, we'd pick Bedford or Frankfort. Martinsville and Frankfort are the only former champions represented n the list, of sixteen teams to take part in the final tourney. If both win their games in the first and second round, they will meet in the semi-finals. Purdue and Indiana tied for the Big Ten championship. Each placed two men on the aJI-conference team nicked by the Big Ten coaches.

The other player on the first ail-conference team ‘is Ben’’v Oosterbaan, star forward of the Michigan team. On the second team are: Waiter, Northwestern, and Harmeson, Purdue, forwards: McCracken, Indiana, center; Hotchkiss, Wisconsin, and Hoerger, Chicago, guards In other words, six of the ten players on the two teams were from Indiana and Purdue. Walter, of Northwestern. is a product of Kokomo, Indiana, high school, making him a Hoosier representative.

BOSTON BRAVES MEAN BUSINESS Teammates Catch Flaming Spirit Os Rogers Hornsby And Air Highly By George Kirksey UP Staff Correspondent New York. Mar. 14. — Among the laseball chibs that may bear watchng in the National league pennant ace this season are the Boston Braves. ' The Braves have caught the ,lamng spirit of Rogers Hornsby. In heir early exhibition games they lave clearly shown that they mean justness under their new leader, looms Slattery. Up from seventh position to place imong the contenders is quite a jump in any league and any year, but he Braves have the memory of the niracle team of 14 years ago to prove hat all things are possible in base jail. On the morning of July 4. 1914, he Braves started on a drive that ed to the National league pennant ind world series. Baseball needs another such feat to reawaken interest in the national pastime and the Boston Braves may be the team to do it. Whatever his other faults, Rogers Hornsby gives every ounce of his jaseball ability to his team. Because lis team this year happens to be a seventh place combination of a year igo matters not to Hornsby. He halted hustling the day he hit trainng camp at St. Petersburg. He has >een hustling ever since. The Braves are hustling with him. The fate of the Boston club is likey to remain with the pitchers, and he early form exhibited by them is ■heerful news to the fans back in he hub. Hearn and Delaney, a promising ookie from Oakland, allowed tlfe Senitors only six hits in the Braves-Sen-itors 9-inning scoreless lie yesterday. Genewich and Edwards gave the vol id champion Yankees only two lits in a five-inning game halted by ■ain. The Braves won. 3 to 1. Kent Greenfield, the former Giant, las as much natural stuff as any jitcher in the league, and if the Iraves get behind him he may pitch lis head off for the club. The acquisition of Zach Taylor, eteran catcher from the Giants, trtngthened the weakest spot in the earn. Tky Braves lineup boasts seven .300 litters, based on last year's perforinuices, as follows: Burrus, 18, .318; Hornsby, 2b, .361; Farrell, ss., .316; Jigh. 3b, .303: Moore. If., .302: Brown, f., .308; Richbourg. rs.. .310. With Hornsby alongside of him, □r. Eddie Farrell may blossom into i real star pt shortstop., The Pirates, Cubs, Giants and Cardnals may find the Braves battling ilongside of them for the pennant, ind it's even possible that the tribe night do its war dance out in front >f the whole flock of them.

The question of how sorlrously an athlde must take his competitive performances has beffn raised by <>ermany. , Since quite a few athleteh from not a few nations will be meeting at Amslerdutn this summer, the question Is one of international concern. Arne Borg of Sweden, who bus tins instead of f<et, and tan swim any disatance from 300 yards up to one mile faster than anyone elae, aroused the ire of Teuton spmts writers recently by downing about a bit in a Berlin tank. It seems that Arne's antics annoyed the Germans to the point of exasperation, and they hurled at hi mlha! scathing denunciation —“Frivolous!” Borg's offense consisted in deliberately giving his opponents a head stait. While the Geiman swimmers w< re thrashing the waters of the pool, Arne would sit chatting and laughing will) fiiends. Suddenly he would recall that he was comi>eting in the race: With a fancy dive ami a caper or two, he would enter the water and speedily overtake his desperately struggling competitors. All of which was very painful to the Teuts. Defeat, they could endure stolidly; levity, never. Borg was sentenced by the German Swimming Association to sit in the corner and wear a fool's cap. The question of horse play and its I place in American athletics has arisen, on occasions, ere this. When "Wild Bill" Mehlhorn whooped from his perch in the sycamore tree down in San Antone and cost Bobby Crulckshank a lot of prize money, a lot of folks were indignant, including the aforementioned Mr. Cruickshank. There is another golf< r from the far west whose partners in tournainerts frequently enter the locker room sweating under their breath and vowing: "Never again." Thi re ate clowns in every line of sport, although the fashion is ,to frown upon them. The point, if I nfay he permitted to point it out, is this: does the offending athlete, through lack of

sports’inanship, deliberately clown in order to obtain what ndvantngt* his conduct affords him at the expense of Itis opponent? If so. the answer is obvious Toss, him out and do not permit him to compete any more. But su<h was not the case in the matter of Arne Borg anti the indignant critics. Obviously the horse-play did not hinder th? Swedish swimmer's opponents, who were busily engaged j in taking advantage of II as fast, as , their arms and lege eoiihl propel I them. If Arne wanted to spot his oppon-1 ents to a handicap, bo at least did i them no harm, except possibly ns I their feelings were hurt. And a man in a swimming race usually is too busy splashing along to worry about his feelings. , The Ge.tman writers insisted that Borg's conduct was "incompatible with the dignity of an athlete." Germany may not win the Olympic games this year, but she intends to lead all the rest In "dignity.* Rushville Team Still In National A. A. U.
