THREE LOCALS ON
SECTIONAL TEAM
w alters, Cunningham and
SCheer Picked for
HonOrS.

Looking over the Sectional tourn-
ament that was staged at the local
"'Y" gym Friday and Saturday OF
last week, the News-Times, after
carefully comparing of the strong
and weak points of each star picked
the following all-sectional teams.
The first team consists of three South
Bend men, one Wanatah and one
Laporte man., while the second
quintet has a Syracuse man, a Mich
iban City man, an Elkhart man, ami
two local tossers.
The center position on the five
was the hardest to pick, with three
stars worth the honor of the pilot
position. These men were; Capt.
Waters of the locals. Capt. Daniel
son Of the Laporte five, and Wittnack
of Wanatah. The honor finally fall
ing upon the Wanatah center, whose
marvellous work both on the floor
and registering the ball made him
one of the big features of the
tourney. Wittnack has been present
at the local tourney for four years.
each year his place at this position
becoming more and more perfect,
until this year the basket shooting
that he exhibited I'm the Wakarusa
and Elkhart games gave him the
pilot position. Capt. Waters case
was solved by giving him his old
place at running guard. Capt.
DanielsOn, OF Laporte, was mother
hard one TO place, his work being
in every way just as good as his OPP
ponents Ii was his excellent pass
ing and basket shooting that took
Elkhart off its feet and gave the
local squad a bad scare in the first
period of the final game. Danielson
was also given a place on the first
team at right forward.
With only another position left at
forward 1t took great deal Of COM
pairing before Cunningham was pick
ed. His mate. NvikOs, and worthy
opponent from Syracuse, Drucka-
miller, following very close on his
heels. Nyikos lost out on his weight,
although in every other way he came
up to Cunningham's standard. Gun

II out of the locals 81 points
Druckamiller fell back in the same
game that Cunningham made his
hit in, being kept down 20 two bas-
kets.
The remaining stationary guard

Scheer showing first class ability
during the whole tourney. scarcely

shot on him Scheer is a freshman
at the local school and before he
graduates should become one Of the
best men that has ever been turned
out by local coaches.
The real question of the second
FIVE was the center, all the first
class ones placing on the first squad
but after much considering between
Mackenzie of Michigan City and
Swayne of Elk hart, Mackenzie
whose rightful position is forward
gets the pilot berth.
Nyikos and Druckamiller were
easily taken over for the second
team forwards. each man having a
perfect eve on baskets and knowing
the game.
Capt. Paulson of Elkhart and
Buntman cinched the guard posi-
