as follows:

"Movold was the first to be selected
! as a member Of the quint He has
proved his right to the place by his
ability at passing and his floor work.
"Hauser. who has been playing CEN

position because Of his unerring shoot

For center. Stevenson Of the uni

made good during the past season on
securing the tip-offs and his basket
| shooting. Stevenson has been one Of
the stars Of the, university team dur

forward position this year but played
at the pivot point other seasons.
''The picking Of the guards Of the
all-state team was the most difficult.
Many Of the players at this position
during the past season have starred.
In picking Murray Of the state uni
versity and Sim Of Fargo college, the
sporting editor believes that he has
selected as we'll balanced pair Of
guards as is possible in the state.
"Sinn is picked for running guard.
His work on the floor is unusually
fast he uses his head and is a good
basket shooter. Sim, although he play
ed at the guard position during the
| past year, was one Of the biggest point
getters for the Hilltoppers.
Murray, the other guard. has proved
himself to be a capable defender Of
his basket. He has been the mainstay
Of the "U'' team in the past season
on defensive work.
"A team composed Of Movold.
Hauser, Stevenson, Murray and Sim,
in the opinion Of the sporting editor,
Is the best all-state college quint that
could be selected"
Movold Picked.

naturally assumed that he was unable

Hauser II given the other forward
berth by the Fargo scribe. This man

asked.
To put Stevenson of the varsity at
center on an all-state team would not
be a serious mistake, although he
could not compare with Hauser in this

best this year, would have deserved a
