CRITICS DIFFER
ON State TEAMS
SEVERAL HONOR FlvEs ARE
PICKED BUT FIRST ONE IS
MOST REASONABLE.

First Kelly. Davenport, RICH,
forward and captain.
kobel, Ottumwa, left forward
Ersklne, Ottumwa, center.
Sumner, Ottumwa, right guard.
Kaufman, Davenport. left guard.zs
Ihe1r second team--Anderson, OF
tumwa, right forward.
Berrien, Clinton, left forward.
Kline, Clinton, center and CAPTAIN.
McElroy, Fort Dodge. right guard.
Sheehan, Ottumwa, left guard.
The above are the first and second
all-state teams picked by five expert
basketball men at the Iowa CITY
tournament. This was the first team
to be picked after the games ana
since that time several different fives
have been chosen that differ great
deal from this one.
George King Thompson, formerly
sporting editor Of the Daily lowan ar
iowa university and who is said to
nave handled sports for Chicago pa
pers. gives the following selections:
First team--Kelly. Davenport. for
ward; Berrien. Clinton. forward;
Kline, Clinton. center; Sumner. OF
tumwa, guard; Kaufman, Davenport,
guard.
Second teamAnderson Ottumwa,
forward; Paige, Fort Dodge, forward;
Erskine, Ottumwa, center; McElroy,
Fort Dodge, guard; Sheehan, Ottun-
wa. guard.
In this lineup Ottumwa is given one
man on the first team and three on the
second. Erskine. who outplayed
Kline of Clinton. is put on the second
team. kobel Ottumwas main scor-
ing factor, is not mentioned at all.
Kline is given preference to the cen.
ter position on the ground that he
played a more consistent game al
season. Erskine has been the main
stay of the local team all season ano
had it not been for his never tir;nG
efforts during the period that Ander-
son and kobel were absent from the
game, the local team would never
have gone to Grinnell and the result
would have been different state
champion team.
The first lineup s~more consistent
and is the choice of many of the fans
who witnessed the tournament. The
team was picked by Coaches Kent and
Adams, s. U. H. Captain Parson Of the
Hawkeye quintet, Stub Stewart of De-
Moines and Harold G. Place OF Water
loo.

SPORT GOSSIP

With the state championship tied
to it's string of scalps the high school
basketball team will endeavor to add
the Illinois title holders of Freeport
to their list of victories Saturday.
Josh Devore, formerly with the Bos.
ton Braves, has purchased an interest
in the Chillicothe, O.. club in the Ohio
state league and will act as playing
manager of that outfit this season.
Directors of the Kitty league have
called a special meeting at Cairo for
Sunday to complete the makeup of the
organization. Paducah, Cairo. Hen.
derson and Owensboro now comprise
the league and Duquoin. Murphysboro
and Mount Carmel have been invited
to join.
Jack Johnson and Jess Willard
were in the same crowd at the
Battling Nelson-D onnelly battle and
saw the former lightweight champion
knock out the Cuban.
The high school track team Will
start practice the first of next week
and some good material is on hand
for the squad. A relay team will PROB
ably be sent to the Drake carnival at
Des Moines.
The basketball critics are having
an awful hard time picking an all
state team. The team picked by the
five men at Iowa City seems to be the
most reasonable.
Plans are on foot to bring Foxy Ned
Egan and his Muscatine ball club here
for few days this spring. The fans
should turn out and greet Ned as he
gave them the best baseball they ever
had

cuLTIvATING THE FIELD.

This is the way one large
manufacturer sums up his rea-
son for using newspaper adver-
Using.
"We have found it more
profitable to choose one field
and cultivate it well than to try
and spread all over the map and
do it badly"
He makes it pay and pay we'll.
There is nothing that equals
the newspaper for intensive
work.
It reaches the people who buy
and the dealers who SELL
1t brings them together. 1t
builds. it pushes and it keeps
everlastingly at it.
