Brown Leads All-Star Cast

First Team Player

Position

Brown (Richmond) ..... .Forward ....Stevens, (Liberty) Bossert (Brookville) Forward ...Porter (Richmond) Lawson' New Castle),.. .Center . ...Parker (Richmond) Ross (Newcastle) Guard Pitts (Richmond) Meranda (Richmond) ... .Guard .Davis (Liberty) BY FRANK DUNING. $ :

In determining the above selection of an all-star varsity of the thirteen teams entered In the Sixth district tournament, experience as well as ability of the individual player is a factor considered. The above mythical varsity, with Harold Brown as captain would perhaps form the strongest possible combination from material picked from the squads of 91 players participating here. In the matter of forwards, Brown and Bossert are easy selections. The ability of forward "Brownie" is not questioned. His everlasting supply of nerve and grit, combined with his natural ability at the forward position rates him as easily the best basket shooter in the district lists. Bossert's performance in the Mt. Summit game yesterday when he trapped ten field and a number of foul point markers is but a characteristic performance of the lengthy Brookville foreman. C. Porter, of Richmond, and Stevens, of Liberty are next choice. Hill. Winslow, Kampe, English and Jeffries are all good men and worthy of consideration in making a final selection. Center position lies between Vic Lawson, of New Castle, and Rus Parker, of Richmond. Players of equal ability, the N. II. S. man is shown preference only because of the fact that he has had more experience than the Quaker pivot cover. Lawson is a veteran of four years. Parker has played varsity basketball for but one year. Pierce, of Carthage, Is a consistent performer and will run second to Lawson and Parker. Milbourne the giant L. II. S. center, is all-star material. Perhaps the best guard in the district today is Johnny Meranda, of the Quaker crew. His right to first choice of the guard berths need not be questioned. Ross, aggressive defense man of the New Castle crew, is another top-not cher. Cy Pitts, Richmond; Captain Davis, Liberty; Diehl, of New Castle; Younts and Shirk, of Brookville; Dye and Linscott of Carthage, are men who will bear watching. CADIZ TOSSERS FAIL TO WORRY ROSE CITY FIVE New Castle, 31; Cadiz, 9. Superiority of the N. II. S. five over I the Cadiz quintet was shown in no , gentle manner last night, when the Rose City five earned its right to meet the Richmond five in the 2 o'clock afternoon game today. New Castle expected an easier time of It with the Cadiz craft and for a i few minutes in the first session was j at loss to understand just why their i score refused to boost very rapidly. Cadiz made a better showing than was expected. New Castle played without the services of Captain Thad Gordon. Klinger, who substituted, Lawson and Ross were N. II. S. mainstays. Meyers proved individual point getter for the defeated team. The score: New Castle.

Scond Team Player

QUAKERS COME UP FROM REAR AND WIN OUT Earlham, 24: DePauw, 21. Characterized by some of the niftiest team, floor and basket work that has been seen in a collegiate battle here this season, last night's mixup between Coach H. E. Whiteside's crew of fighting Quakers and the Methodists of DePauw, was one brilliant flash from start to finish. The game was played in connection with the tourney contests at the Coliseum. Coming from behind, after the DePauw five apparently had the game snugly stowed away, the Maroon and White clad warriors got by with one of the thrillers that gave the Garrison finish its name. From start of play the visitors had set the pace. DePauw's combination of brawn and speed worried the Quakers in the opening round and throughout the greater part of the second. But once the Quaker machine began to hit, just seven minutes before the final shot, DePauw had little or no choice in taking the side of the road while the Earlham craft shot through to victory. DePauw Takes Lead. The first half saw the DePauwites leading. Guard House, emulating deeds performed on the gridiron last fall, drove down the floor and deposited a couple of fields for a starter. A spectacular, near-marvelous shot of Speedy Meeks gave the Quakers something to shout about. Templin, Earlham guard, scored a minute later. Before the shot. Cook, for DePauw, registered a two-point marker and several free puts, giving D. U. a 10-to-8 edge at the close. The second session was one revelation of speed. The Quakers, led by Ted Laning, Richmond boy, who was making his last local appearance in E. C. togs, hove to and passed the scrapping crew of Old Gold and Black. Meeks, Laning and Winslow filled the hoops for two, three and two apiece, resepctively, during this large session. The close saw the Quaker score maturing rapidly. The score. DePauw. Gls. Fls.

TEAMS BREAK EVEN One lone pin was all that furnished the break in the Cabriolet-Sedan series of Westcott Motor League games at the City alleys last night. The team broke even in the two game series. Score of the first game was 609-608. Martin's work giving the Sedan crew the edge. Score of the second, 597-581, Cabriolets. High score were mAde by Martin and Elstron. 4, EMPIRES TAKE SERIES AN score of 188 by McMinn " and Sample's mark of 1S1 gave the Empires the first of the series with the Kentucky five at the association alleys last night. The total was 785-608. The second was taken over by the same team, 600-589. Loofburrow. with a mark of 162 was instrumental in the taking of the third game which made it a clean sweep from the Empires. The United States is the greatest wool consuming country while Great Britain does the bulk of the wool manufacturing.

MUNCIE WINS OUT OVER EASTERNERS

MUNCIE, Ind., March 11. Muncie overwhelmed the Eastern All-Stars here tonight by a score of 11 to 1. Although the score indicates a onesided game, yet it was fast' and interesting. Blount, goaltender for the All-Stars, had one of his off nights and could not locate the pink pellet. RICHMOND HOLDS . FINAL WORKOUT ON UNION CITY Richmond, 63; Union City, 7. Final signal, formation work and basket shooting practise session before the New Castle basketball game, was held by Coach Nohr's R. H. S. proteges at the Coliseum last night. The boys showed lots of speedy cleverness and team work in last night's workout and appear in the pink for the finals today. Not to belittle the Union City crowd in any way but unthinking schedule makers certainly did the Randolph county crowd an injustice when it listed Union City Richmond in the schedule makeup. U. C. seemed at loss on the large floor and while they showed some ability really had no show whatever against the well trained and conditioned quintet of R. H. S. Local Machine Works. While not of the fast and spectacular, or close and interesting variety, by any means, the contest was easy to look at that is from the Richmond rooter colony point of view. It was a soothing spectacle to watch Porter, Brown and Parker with assistance of Pitts and Meranda shoot the old leather around from man to man and then terminate the play with an accurate hook at the meshing. Brown led in number of fields scored for Richmond. He trapped ten. Llvingood played with Union City. The score: Union City.

Milroy was the victim in a speedy through rather one-sided argument. Liberty showed a considerable amount of floor work and ability at the hoops. Forward Stevens, of the L. H. S. five, was individual star of the game. Morgan and Nelson played perhaps the best game for the losing team: The score : Liberty Gls. Fls. F.Msd. 0 6 0 0 0 0 0 Pts. 4 25 6 0 2 0 0 Barnard, f .

BOSSERT STARS IN BROOKVILLE' S FIRST TRIUMPH

Brookville, 35; Mt. Summit, 12. In its clean cut victory over the Mt. Summit boys Brookville high demonstrated the fact that it has the right to be considered as the probable runner-up or winner of the district meet. Trie. Brookville team Is a husky one and every member is a veteran of several years experience. The Franklin county boys know every wrinkle of the art of basketball and should they meet the Quakers in the final tonight, will offer R. H. S. the hardest kind of scrap.

Just why Richmond high fans should glory in the defeat of Cambridge City at the hands of Spiceland Academy is problematical. At any rate rooters of R. H.

NOTEBOOK FOOTBALL NOW FOR COLUMBIA Unlike the Harvard football squad, the Columbia players will not confine their thinking exclusively to the gridiron, for Coach T. Nelson Metcalf has started his course in "inside football." The veterans from last fall and those aspiring for positions on class teams next fall will attend the class every week. The first lesson was on field generalship.

MAIL ORDER HOUSES TURN DOWN ORDERS FOR SEINES IN CITY Believing the most effective way of preventing the illegal capture of fish is by cutting off the sale of seines in Indiana, John F. Holaday, secretary of the Wayne County Fish and Game Protective association, has been in correspondence with several of the larger mail order houses. A letter has just been received by Mr. Holaday from the fishing tackle department of Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, an extract of which reads as follows: "Referring to the correspondence we had with you a little over a year ago, with respect to the selling of seines in the closed district of Indiana, you will be interested to know that up to the present time we have turned down 462 orders."
