never trying the shooting stunt unless
it is absolutely forced upon him.
The way Rumsey guarded 'Cheny'
in the s.Y''-"I'' battle was alone a
splendid enough performance to win
him a position on the all stars, with
out taking any of his other excellent
work into consideration. Rumsey Is an
other player that has the lid down on
his temper. and never loses his head.
These three were so apparently fitted
for their positions that no time at all
was necessary to decide them. but the
choice OF the remaining forward and
guard was the cause Of much discus
sion Bob Hoover was a wise selection,
Bob is one of the cleanest players
in the federation, and strong all
around man, dependable for any emery
ency. His basket record for the tour
nament was 20. totaling 40 points,
against is he made last year. Roy Ben
ton was selected for the guard position
for his splendid defensive work for the
Bisbee Shamrocks all through the tour
nament He tOtaled 26 points on 13
baskets
ChenOweth and Rumsey are the only
players on the all star of 1911 to have
the all star positions a second year.
Second Team Is Fast, Too.
The second team was selected officially
as follows; Jose Peralta, Y. NJ c. A.
center Lee Evans, Y n c. A, forward;
Vern Lyman, f. P. H. s, forward: La

the jump over every other center. is
good on floor work, and has generated
his men with great ability Lee Evans
is a steady, cool little player, quick on
his feet, there with the shots, and good
at team work.
Nern Lyman's tendency to play too
much individually, rather than as one
fifth OF a team, was all that kept him
from first team place Lamar thomas
and Wendell Kuhn were given their po-
sitiOns for their consistent playing OF
the guard position.
