All-American Team Set By United Press NEW YORK (UP)— Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain of Kansas, Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati and Elgin Baylor of Seattle were overwhelming choices today for the 1968 United Press All-America basketball team. Guy Rodgers of Temple and little Don Hennon of Pittsburgh won the two other positions on thejjnited Press team selected-by he votes of 257 sports writers and radio and television broadcasters throughout the nation. This year's team was unique in at least four respects: 1. Chamberlain, the seven-foot Kansas center who was chosen for the second year in a row, appeared on 96.9 per cent of thp ballots cast. This represents an all-time high since the United Press All-America was inaugurated in 1949. Chamberlain attracted 225 first-team votes and 24 for the second team. The previous high percentage was 95.5 received by Bill Russell of San Francisco in 1956. Three Dominate 2. Never before had three players dominated the balloting as Chamberlain, Robertson and Baylor did this year Robertson, who actually polled five more firstplace votes than Chamberlain, was mentioned on 95 per cent of the ballots, while Baylor's popularity was 94.6 per cent. 3. This is the youngest academic team ever to make the United Press All-America. Rodgers is the only senior. Robertson is only the third sophomore ever to win Untied Press All-America ho n o r s Chamberlain, Baylor and Hennon are juniors. ~ 4. Four of the five players are Negroes — all except Hennon. This year’s team, if ever sent into actual competition, would make a superbly coordinated unit. Chamberlain is a pivot man with a multitude of shots. \ Die 6-foot-6 Baylor and 6-foot-5 Robertson are ideal forecourt men. Rodgers, at six feet, is a re'markable playmaker and feeder, i He is the “takc-charge-guy” on the court Hennon, a “rriighty mite” at 5-foOt-8, « primarily a shooter.:, but a great one. Boozer Leads Second 5 Hennorr won the fifth place on the team by a sizable margin j over Kansas State’s Bob Boozer, j who headed the second team. Fol-j lowing Boozer ip the voting was Archie Dees of Indiana, Dave Gambee of Oregon State, Mike Farmer of—San—Francisco and... Tom Hawkins of Notre Darsie. Lloyd Sharrar and Jerry West, two members of West Virginia s national champions, was picked on the third team. Other choices were Bailey Howell of Mississippi State, Pete Brennan of North Carolina and Johnny Green of Michigan State. Komets End Home Season Thursday FORT WAYNE — The Komets plav the final home game on their 1957-58 schedule Thursdaynight at the Coliseum when they meet the I. H. L. Champs, the Cincinnati Mohawks. While this encounter between these two teams might be the last on the schedule, it is probably the most important game that the Komets have faced in their six year history. Right | now, the Komets are tied for third place in the I. H. L. and a win Thursday night would put them in second place This would be the highest finish ever attained by a Komct team in: their six year history. —* ~ — :— — * l — ! ■ WANTED Experienced steak _—f connoiscurs -y :j _ . ; ' y,_ who can appreciate Char-Broiled T-Bone and Sirloin steaks at their ~—~ i - y absolute finest.

Webb And Mims In Fort Wayne Battle FORT WAYNE. Ind. (UP)— Third-ranked middleweight Spider Webb sets out tonight to prove he can lick hustling Holly Mims twice in a row and remain in line for an eventual title shot. But the 27-year-old Chicagoan indicated he may let Mims force the fighting, at least in the early stages, before deciding on his strategy. “I can’t plan a pattern against Mims,” explained the former Olympic battler. ‘‘l have to wait until I see what he's going to do.” Webb decisioned Mims nearly two years ago, but also learned to respect him. “Any time you fight Mims you have a rugged fight,” he said. “He throws a lot of punches- He would be able to knock me out with one punch.” Mims, 29, was much more outspoken, for he realized this is his •‘bread and butter” fight. He has never been knocked out and said he can beat Webb. “What's more,” lie said, To going to prove it. ,ls I don’t win this one, I'll slide down the ladder.” Webb was beaten only twice in 28 fights and scored 14 of his 26 victories via the knockout-route.-Mims, of Washington. D.C., has won 42 of his 64 fights, 10 by knockouts. » Bowling Scores Rural League ? W L Pts.

The Knicks actually saw ' their last chance for a playoff ber£h go by the boards by bowing to the Eastern Division cham--1 pion Boston Celtics, 126-119. ; The Eastern Division playoffs ’ get underway Saturday at Syracuse. N.Y.. with the second-place Nationals meeting the third-place ' Warriors. The second gaijie of the best-of-three sends will be played' , at Philadelphia Sunday, and a third gime, if necessary, will be played at Syracuse March 18 1 The Western Division situation 1 was a bit more complex. Second and third place hinge on the outcome of tonight’s game. If the ! Royals beat the Lakers, they will ' tie with the Detroit Pistons for second place, which would mean” ' a coin-ossing to determine the opening site of the best-of-three series. If the Lakers upset the Royals then the Pistons will clinch second place and host the first game Saturday.

Semi-State At Indianapolis Is Wide Open INDIANAPOLIS (UP) - Saturday’s Indianapolis semi-state of the Indiana high school basketball tourney has that "wide-open'' look. Any one of the four contenders is capable of picking up the marbles. Rushville’s 20-5 record is the best. The Lions, who have never made the "Fieldhouse Pour," open the show against Muncie Central. Madison and Anderson collide in the second afternoon game. Rushville had the benefit of playing at home the first two weeks. The South Central Conference club is somewhat on the small side but was good enough to shatter unbeaten Brookville’s hopes in the regionals, 55-48-Muncie’s four-time state champions have never lived down that 32-30 loss to Milan in the 1.954 state tourney title clash. The Bearcats, in the finals 10 times, are 20-6 for the season and operate around 6-3 sophomore Ron Bonham, their tallets starter who is their top scorer. Madison A Threat? Muncie is one of two teams that conquered top-ranking Fort Wayne South during the season, 61-58, in Muncie’s holiday tourney. The Bearcats also triumphed over Terre Haute Garfield, another hot pre-state tourney choice, 65-59. The Bearcats also were at home for the first two tourneys. This appears to be Madison’s best team since 1950 when the Cubs, under Ray Eddy, won the

crown. Bud Ritter has Madison moving at 18-6 and his top shooter is a 6-4 sophomore, Buster Briley, who plays both forward and center. Madison may have the experience advantage of winning all its tourney games on the road—first at Scottsburg, then at Columbus last Saturday. Anderson Is giving the Capital City semi a “new look” from the Indianapolis standpoint—no local entry for the first time since 1949. After three regional beatings by Indianapolis Attucks, Anderson finally came through with a pulsating 51-50 regional title victory over the Tigers. Anderson, Muncie Split This is Anderson’s first appearance -in the next-to-last tourney round in 10 years and in allaround ability, it’s Ick Osborne’s best of four editions. The Indians, three - time state champs, have only one starter above 6 feet—junior Max Benson. But they’ll have one of the best shooters of the session in Norm Delph, the hero in the eyelash victory over Attucks with his two timly freethrowsFor the season, Anderson is 197. Madison did not meet any of the three other aspirants during the regular campaign. Anderson won a season opener at Rushville, 72-66, and split even with Muncie. Oddly enough, Anderson won at Muncie by one point, and Muncie retaliated with a two-point decision at Anderson. Anderson and Muncie belong to the strong North Central Conference. Madison formerly was in in the Southeastern but is currently independent. Pro Basketball Philadelphia 106, St. Louis 101. Boston 126, New York 119.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12. 1951

Meeting Tonight To Map Baseball Card Representatives of Anderson St. Mary’s, Marlon Bennett, Huntington Catholic, and Decatur Catholic high schools will meet in Decatur this evening to plan this spring’s Central Indiana Catholic conference baseball schedule. Decatur Catholic will face some problems scheduling home games, as the field which they have used, McMillen field, has been torn down to make room for Central Soya expansion. It is planned, however, to use Worthman field on days not scheduled for Yellow Jacket baseball games or track meets for the Commodore home games. Only four or five home games will be scheduled this spring, coach A1 Linrahl indicated. At the present time, he said it appears the Decatur Catholic team will have a pretty good home season, If Decatur has rainless Tuesdays, the main day on which the Commodores will be playing.
