The above is the selection of Coach
Andy. Gill of the university, for an
All-District team. The teams entered
in the competition this year furnished
some very good men and it was ex-
treniely hard to pick an all-districtl
team, hut the above named players
best fitted the requisites Of an all-dis-
trict team.
Froats was placed at forward on
the team for his stellar work through
out the whole tournament. In all Of
the games played his work always
stood out owe that Of his opponent.
His basket shooting was consistently
the best shown by any. Of the forwards
and his floor work was also of the
highest order. AS captain of the
Grand Forks team he proved to he q
heady field general and is the first
choice for n of the forward posi-
tions on the All-district team. Shell
Yer, selected as a running mate for
Froats, is also admirably fitted for
position. Possessing a world of en-
,durance and being a fine shot, he cas-
lily stands next to Froats as the most
capable forward in the district. His
work all during the games played has
been OF the highest order. and last
Ievenins he proved ~conclusively that
he deserved a place on the All-district
team.
| In selecting H. Hildre for center,
Coach Gill did so on the excellent
floor work shown by the big captain
of the Petersburg team. His work
during the tournament was also
marked his heady playing. and he
was one of the hardest workers seer
on the floor. In the teamwork Of the
Petersburg team, he was the most
important factor and all of the pass.
ing revolved about him. He does no,
possess the eye for the basket thai
would make the equal Of Frosts anc
Shelver as a point getter, but his gen.
eral work as passer and dribble'
makes hin, the logical choice for cen
ter on the mythical team.
In placing Mayer at guard, Coacf
Gill did so for the high order OF play
ing that has marked his work in tn
game last evening and in the ores pre-
cedins. Mayer. though rather small
in stature. is q, tireless worker ant
large for him, He is also a head!
player and always breaks up the pla'
before it too close to h has
ket. His work last evening was SOM
Of the best defensive work ever show
in a high school game in this city
and he is eminently qualified for on
1 Of the guard positions. Robertson o
,,Langdon. Is the selection Of Coach Gil
for the other guard position. In spit
of the defeat of IIansdon in the frs
round of the tournament, Robertson
proved that he was one of the mos
capable guards in the meet. He brok
up the plays of the opposition will
ease. and also PLAYED the floor in
praiseworthy manne Roberton is
stocky built fellow and is possessed q
seemingly unlimited, strength and tn
showing made in the Langdoh May
villa game was not equalled by an
of the other guards. with the eXcep
