ALL-CITY FIVE PLACES THREE TECHITE STARS • Shortridge and Manual Each Awarded Berth on Annual Mythical Quint. > HOW PLAYERS STACK UP All-City Selections —MAXI*AII, TECH, SHORTRIDOE—FIRST TEAM. SECOND.TEAM. Slaughter (T.) ..F Caldwell (S.) Stevens <S.) .. F Miehenor (8.) Griggs (T.) C Prayer (T.) E. Harmeson (M.) G....Wertz (M.) Black (T.) G Hawkins (T.) The job of figuring out Income tai is a slight matter iii comparison to the task of selecting an all-city high school basketball team. This mythical five is picked at the close of the season each year despite the dangers and risks undergone in doing it and is supposed to contain the five best players in the high school ranks of tile city. Although any selection is bound to bring a lot of criticism front students of the rival schools, a team's record for the season can not be used as a basis for selecting the men for the all-city. For instance, a team might be a consistent loser and yet contain one or two men who surpassed any others in the city, while on the other hand, a quintet with the best record and one made up of five men of equal ability might find it hard to land many of them on the mythical aggregation. NO LACK OF FORWARD TALENT. In looking over the athletes this year who have been cutting big circles in the local basketball race the first thing that strikes the eye is the woeful scarcity of good centers and guards in contrast to the excellent supply of high-class forwards. Among the men playing the forward positions this year are such stars as Slaughter. Stevens, llarmesou. (.'aidwell and Griggs. Although Griggs has been playing center in bis recent games, be ha* been used at forward most of tbe time. These men are known all over this section and have n state-wide reputation point-getters. Os the three centers in the city, Busohell of Manual. Draycr of Tech and Africa of Shortridge, there is little that can be said for any of them. Drayer, because of bis accuracy on under the basket shots, is probably the best> of the three, but in a fast game he must give way to Griggs. The guard jobs, although much better taken rare of than the center positions, are not held down by any Don Whites or Millers. Hawkins of Tech is without doubi the best back guard, while tbe floor guard selection seems to be a tossup between Black, Wertz. Harmeson and Egcol. In choosing the forwards for the makebelieve team Hank Stevens of Shortridge and El Slaughter of Trch hare been selected. These men have been the individual stars on their respective teams ail season, ami are two of tbe classiest goal-getters in the state. They would make a wonderful combination. Slaughter is probably the best all-round man of the two on floor work and passiug, while Stevens is probably the most consistent point-getter. Both men are "death" on the basket at long range and their shots from the center of the court eauße opposing rooters to lose weight :nd finger-nails. This selection should be practically undisputed, as the ability of these men is knowu to rank with the best in Indiana. GRIGGS POSSESSES AJ.L-A HOI .N'D TALENT. For the center job Hal Griggs of Tech has been named. Griggs, although he started basketball last year as a forward, has been used at center in most of hts games this year by Coach Black and will, from ail indications, hold down that Job (Continued on Page Nine.)

Wabash Five Tosses the Big Hook Into Rivals From DePauw Scarlet Springs Season's Prize Upset by Beating Tigers , 36 to 26. CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind.. March 3. The Wabash basketeers came through with the biggest surprise of state basketball this season by putting the rollers under DePauw's “Speed Five” here last night. 36 to 26. The contest proved a whizz-bang affair and the Tigers demonstrated their speed, all right, but the Scarlet guards put tbe big check on the visitors while the Wabash basket shooters contributed their share by outshoottng the Tiger offensive men. The victory gave the Scarlet rooters an opportunity to participate in a wild time, and they certainly handed it out in large hunches. The locals played a careful, steady game and had the range "right” with their long shots. Adam got six field goals and Kashner, five, and the latter also hooked eight in from the foul line. '1 he advance dope was positively against the Scarlet, but the local athletes soon changed the situation whon they got tin tier way. despite the continued speed shown by DePauw. Grater. Wabash hack guard, put up a whale of a game by smearing the Tiger offensive time afrer time. The first halt ended 20 to 10, in Wabash's favor. Depstiw never gave up at any stage and picked up speed after Carlisle en tered the fray, but it was simply a ease of u><> much Wabash and few Scarlet rooters had any fears after the opening period. Cannon played his usual strong game for the Tigers and Carlisle also starred. It was Wabash's night, that's all. and although the outcome was n keen disappointment to DePauwites there was no lack of Tiger fight and the Green castle players gave the best they had against their old rivals. In a previous game DePauw was the victor. Lineup and summary: DePauw (26L Wabash ( "Ai .
