MANUAL, TECH GET MYTHICAL TEAM LAURELS South and East Side Schools Get Two Places—Shortridge Gets One ALL-CITY SELECTIONS. First Team. Second Team. E. llarmesou (M.) I.ltz (8.) Riley 18.) Adklu* (T.) Griggs (T.) H. Huxmeson (M.) Nipper (.T.) Chnrcbnmu (8.) Wertz (M.) C onley (T.) Now for a real “crime”- the picking of an all-city high school basket ball team. The selection for both the first uud second teams are based not ou a player's reputation or past achievements, but ou bis record for the current season. The all round ability of a man and bis value to a team has been carefully considered, rather than his spectaeulur style lu any one particular department ol the game, mid u steady, consistent performer has been given Uie cail over the man who on several occasions lias displayed dazzling and sensational work, only to slump terribly at otaer times. The line up of the first team wdth E. Harmesou and Riley, forwards; Griggs, center, and Nipper and Wertz, guarus, gives Tech two places. Manual two uud i bhorirldge one. The aeeond team, lining ; up with Adkins and Lltz at forwards;, 11. Hurmesou at center and Churchman and Conley, guurds, gives Tech two places. Manual one, and Shortrldge two. HAKMEBON IS MANUAL STAR. E. llarmesou, who is given one of the forward positions on the first team, has been the outstanding figure in the Manual scoring department all year und he is regarded as one of the best goal-get-ters hi this section of the State. Riley of Shortrldge, who has been awarded the other forward Job, is the only veteran of last year's Shortrldge quintette back in the fold this year. Ills work has been largely resopnsihle for what little record his team has made this year, and during the first part of j the season he was forced to bear the brui t of the Blue and White offensive. Very seldom a high point man, Riley's I value lies in his speed and floor work * and in his accuracy from the foul line. f Griggs of Tech is given the center position without hesitation. The Green and White tovser. at home in either a j center or forward position, is rated one of the beat high school plsyers In the Btats by Hoosierdom's stars critics. NIPPER COMES TO FRONT FAST. No player in the city has come out more In a season than has Nipper of Tech. The fla-hy floor guard, a sub last j year, stepped Into a reg ilsr position thl* season aud bis work has been a decided factor In the remarkable record hung up by the Tech five. Asa guard Nipper bas no equal In the city and possibly no su s perlor In the State, while his timely j baskets have pulled the gam# out of the j fire for Tech on more than one occasion I Wertz of Manual, although a floor' guard, is given trie back guard Job on tfie first team. Wertz's value lies in his aggressiveness, ability to connect with■: tlits basket from long range, floor work and excellent, tenacious guarding Wertz Is playing his third year for Manual and ; his experience has stood him In good | stead throughout the season. Conley of Tech conus in for a great deal of consideration for the back guard job, but Wertz's experlince and all-round know! edge of the game gives him the call over the less experienced Tech man Lltz, Shortrldge, and Adkins. Tech, are J chosen for the forward positions on the second foam and should make un excel-; lout pair if they were ever to play together. Litz's value lies more In his elusiveness sud ability to hit the hss- j !rt, while Adkins is probably the best dribbler in the city snd covers tbo floor well. Adkins' inability to hit the basket, t is all that keeps him off the first team. Want Auto Race PIOUX CITY, Town, March 1 —Fiona !

Hoosiers’ Chances in Big Ten Chase Get Another Hard Blow Purdue Is Tripped by Michigan, While Illinois Steps Out in Front. BIG TEN STANDING. W. L. Pet.' W. L. Pot. Il'lnois ..7 8 .70!)

Purdue played Michigan at Ann Arbor last night, and suffered a 29-to-25 defeat, drawing their game count at six won and four lost. Illinois played Ohio State at the same time, and registered a 35-to--32 victory to gain a game count of seven won and three lost. Indiana did not play last night. Tile last night activity puts Illinois in first place, drops Indiana to second and puts Purdue back to a tie with Michigan for third. This makes things look bad for the Indiana teams, but things are not always what they seem! Indiana. Purdue and Illinois each have two more games to play, and if the goddess of luck give* the Hooslers any sort of an encouraging glance whatsoever, they may come right up for the big honors at the last moment. Illinois plays Chicago at Chicago Saturday night and Michigan at Illinois Monday night. A victory lu each Instance will cinch the title for the Suckers, but if they lose one, then Indiana cl n take the title by winning its two games, or Purdue can tie for It by winning its two contests Indiana and Purdue meet at Bloomington Thursday night, and this game will be one of the deciding factors In the Big Ten race. If Indiana can win this contest, then they should beat Minnesota Monday night. This would give them eight games won and three lost. If Purdue wins over Indiana again Thursday uight, then they must down lowa at Lafayette Saturday night If they are to get Into a tie by an Illinois defeat at the hands of either Chicago or Michigan. Indiana has, In a way, a better chance to take the title than Purdue, although they have been defeated by the Boilermakers once this season, but neither of the Hoosier teams has more than an outside chance. Another way to figure the situation is this: If Illinois loses both their remaining games, then Indiana will bare to win only one of their contests to take the title, or if Indiana and Illinois would both lose all remaining scraps, then Purdue would have to win only one more to break into a tie with the Suckers tor first place.

The Butler athletic head has entered a team of sixteen men and he intends for them to carry off the honors.

DE PAUW SEES BRIGHT HOPES) Chance of White Playing* Against Wabash Encourages Tiger Fans. GREENCASTLB, Ind., March L—T>* Pauw’s fighting bazket-ball team will play its final game of the season here Thursday night with Wabash minus the services of Mark Bills, who has been playing center far the Tiger five since White was declared ineligible. Bills Is suffering from an attack of the mumps. This again, puts the Old Gold athletes on the defensive. Coach Buss has not announced who will play the center position, but It is possible that White will be eligible by Thursday, although it could not be learned definitely today. According to reports, Wabash will alse play Thursday without one of Us regulars. Goldsberry, star center and forward of the Wabash court five, is said to be very sick at his home in Wit gate. He is said to have gone to his home the middle' 1 of last week suffering from a severe cold, which has grown worse. Since the tilt with Earlham at Richmond last Tuesday, the De Pauw basketeerg have been resting, for th* most part, with light practices to Keep in trim. Hard work-outs are the rule Or this week, hewerer. White is practicing dally with the squad and probably will fill the pivot position Thursday night if be is eligible. Considering the long rivalry between De Pauw and Wabash, standing room is expected to be taken when the opening whistle blows Thursday night. Alumni of both institutions and fans from the surrounding towns are planning to attend, In addition to every member of both student bodies. Already a large number of the reserved seats have been 6old for the contest and mere orders are constantly coming. As for De Pauw optimism, there Is not a fan here but believes Wabash is in for a beating. Although the Scarlet warriors will come here with a long list of victories to their credit, both State Normal and Notre Dame have proved they are not unbeatable. Ponies to Run HEELING, W.
