BOILER EXPLAINS HIS
ALL-STAR SELECTIONS

This season there was much diff
Guilty in choosing the all-star team,
which was announced in Mondays
Evergreen, due to the fact that there
were many star forwards with lack
of outstanding guards. Further
some of the men who were making
a good showing were laid up with
sickness and injuries a portion OF
the time. In choosing the men,
team-play was the main basis for
comparison. The final choice was
made by Coach Boiler only after the
first selections of the other coaches
had been received and considered.
Coach Boiler says of his Coast
selections:
"Forwards-Durno (Oregon) is
given forward berth not only as a
recognition of his exceptional ability
to shoot from all angles and rare
ability to dodge and work the floor.
but because of his efficiency in scor-
ing from the foul mark as well. Dur
no is clever dribbler. elusive and
fast. His diminutive stature is no
handicap.
RocISey on All-COast
"ROckpV IVA Shi of on stated
would complete a dangerous forward
combination. There is nothing spec
tacular about Rockey but again this
season he led both conferences in
total baskets scored from the field.
Hockey scores from all difficult an
giles.
"Center-Righter (Stanford) al
though playing forward the greater
part of the season is picked for the
center position. His height and
weight give him the physical quail
fications and in addition he shoots
exceptionally we'll.
"Guards-Eggleston California;
although forward rates the all-star
roster because of his brilliant and
aggressive playing Eggleston'
long shots were disheartening to op-
pcnents. He is fast, an elusive dod-
ger and dribbler and is continually
bounding the ball.
Cook Washington is chosen for
the third time for the other guard
position. He is rugged, guards close
ly and scores we'll. He is an all
around player"
Copeland in An-Northwest
Honorable mention was also given
to Stinson of the Beavers and Mum
son of the Sun Dodgers at forward,
Mills OF Stanford and Eikleman Of
O. A G. at center, and Chapman of
the U. of o., Majors of California,
and McIvor of the Cougars at guard.
The Northwest all-stars are Hun
ter of Idaho and Durno of Oregon
at forward; Dement, of Whitman at
center; Copeland of w. S. C. and
Chapman of Oregon at guard. Bob
Ter says of these selections:
Center-Dement is picked be-
cause he is veteran of several bas-
ketball campaigns about whom the
Whitman team was built. He is
easily the best pivot man in either
conference and can outjump and out
shoot any rival.
"Guard-Chapman is sturdy, fast
and diagnoses plays keenly. He can
shoot sufficiently accurately to war
rant the honors and would be used
as running guard
Copeland is an aggressive player
who would have been chosen for the
Coast conference duties but for a
slump in shooting. Copeland drib-
bles cleverly, guards closely and has
proved his metal by holding the best
forwards in the conference to low
scores.
Forward-Hunter is always dan
gerous when uncovered He was
Idaho's strongest man. He can elude
the best guards and is all the more
valuable because of his ability 70
cage free throws"
Honorable mention also goes TO
Lindley of Idaho and Peterson of
Whitman at guard and Wapato OF
Willamette at forward.
