Dubuque, March lO.-Selecting the
all star Hawkeye conference hves for
1917 involves an unusual number OF
hair line decisions. One reason Is that
some OF the best performers failed to
play up to a standard consistently; an
other is found in the fact that sevcra
Of the leading teams were unable to
get together So close has been the
choices In several cases that 1t Is nee
cssary to mention two sets OF forwards
for the first team, a rather unusual but
very necessary proceeding.
TO Captain Martin, OF Dubuque col
lege. goes one Of the first team berths.
For two years he has led the Purple
and Gold team, and has served MS the
handspring thereof. leading In num-
Der of points scored. A Dubuqtie Ger
man college man, Kertland. is also de-
serving of rank among the top notch
ers. Every moment that he played
during the past season saw him in the
midst of the fray, and as a point get
ter he has few equals. Against yuill,
the Coe star, he showed up exception
ably we'll. altho he did not play above
his standard. The second set Of for
wards Is made up of the stars Of the
G.enox and Upper Iowa quintets. w.
Carrothers. Of the Fayette five, proved
a revelation as scorer. considering
that he was playing guard. His nat
ural position and the one at which he
was seen most Is forward; there he
spilled In the points that kept his team
In the conference race. Williamson, OF
Lenox, Is an Outside" choice since his
team made only mediocre showing
during the past season. He Is expert
enced, possesses all the requisites OF an
expert tosser, and undoubtedly would
make good In higher company.
The one position on the team that
can be easily selected Is center. Play
ing against Letich. an ex-aH star,
Walsh, of Dubuque, scored twenty two
points, and during the crucial games OF
Dubuque's season added seventy to this
list. Dhring his last week as a mem
Der Of the Dubuque team he scored ff-
ty-four points.
Strong guarding featured most Of the
conference contests, so a sterling de-
fensive combination is chosen for the
first team. A. Dickinson. OF Teachers
college. caused Coach Dorais' quintet
more trouble than any man who OPP
posed it during the past season. And
his performance was dimmed by that
Of Dalton Of the Purple and Gold team
Dalton is undoubtedly one 81 the best
men that ever stepped on a Key City
court and his ability was manifest in
every contest of the season.
The first team selections do not eN-
haust the stars of the Hawkeye con-
ference. Ryan, Of Dubuque. whose in
consistency deprlves him Of the honor
station he held last year. and O'Con-
nor, Of st. Ambrose, are men who can
compare with the best. Tho latter reg
istered some clean-cut losses against
Dubuque. and thereby kept his team In
the game until the final moments OF
play. Letich, OF the Teachers, IS given
preference to Simar, OF Upper Iowa,
because Of his performance in tho final
games Of the season. e. Ryan, OF st
Ambrose. is defensive player Of cali
Der. and to him mainly must be attri-
buted the lions share Of the success OF
the Davenporters. Butler, OF Dubuque
Germans, is chosen for the other all-
star second team guard position. The
