TECH STARS ON
ALL-CITY TEAM

in the sectional. Because Of his speed
and floor work, coupled with his eye for
the basket from any angle of the floor,
this seems to be his natural position.
Griggs was named on the aH-sectiOnal
team last year and is one Of the best Of
fensive players who ever attended an In
dianapolis high school. He has another
year at Tech and should write his name
high on the wall Of Indiana basketball
before his graduation. Although he has
been on the bench about six weeks this
year as a result Of an injury received
shortly before the Christmas holidays,
his playing recently shows that he has
lost none of his ability.
The selecting Of Harmeson for the floor
guard Job probably will create q num-
Der Of disputes, but HarmesOn stands out
as the most consistent man on the Man
usl team and possesses a wonderful eye
for the basket. He knows basketball
from every angle and in every game that
Manual participated In this year he &c
quilted himself with credit, although on
some occasions he lacked support from
his teammates.
Black of Tech, although n floor guard
"a every sense of the word is given
the back guard job because Of his won
derful all-ro1nd playing throughout the
season. Black Is up TO his neck in the
game every minute and is one of the
best guards seen on a local floor IN
some time. His agEressiveness Is h.
big asset, and coupled with this he has
an excellent basket eve and also plays
games since the middle of the seaSo '
has Black failed to get at least a couple
Of baskets, and in many Instances nc
was high point man OF the contest.
Wherever the ball is Black is certain
TO be found and 4 staliing game is all
solutely impossible when this man is
concerned He is husky in every respect.
hut at the same time is fast and elusive
and his supply Of cork is apparently
lnexhaustible Although the above named
qualities are not usually thought OF in
connection with a back guard. Black IS
too good a man to be left of any all
ely team that could be picked, and I'm
a mythical selection OF this kind he can
easily be shifted 70 the back guard pO-
sition, although having played at floor
guard all year Black came to the east
side school from the navy, and although
he had not bad a basketball in his
hands for two years Il did not take him
long to get down 70 his oldtime form,
and he has been gathering momentum
as the season has progressed.
s.H. S. FORWARDS
ON SECOND CHOICE.
For the second team Michenor ana
Caldwell, both Shortridge men, are
given the forward jobs. without much
argument Although the work Of these
athletes has been nothing sensational
throughout the season, they have both
played a consistent game all year, and
have proved consistent poin tgetters, al
though pushed hard by VanArsdale and
Nipper Of Tech. and Strain Of Manual.
the two Shortridgs boys are given the
edge because Of their ability as basket
shooters.
In giving Drayer OF Tech second choice
on the center Job It was necessary to
Zip a coin - decide between the east
side giant and Buschell Of Manual. AL
though Drayer and Buschell have both
this year, Drayer is given the edge over
Buschen for two reasons. In the first
place as an underline basket shot he
holds q big advantage over his Manual
rival, and in the second place he plays
a more consistent game. Although
Buschel has played some mighty good
games this year he has the inclination
to fall down at the critical moment and
this is a big marx against him. Both
Of these men are woefully weak on long
distance shots.
Wertz of Manual is the logical choice
for the floor guard position, although
Escol Of Shortridge runs him a hard
race. The long distance shots OF Wertz
have featured Manuals play all year and
he has gained the reputation Of being
one of the best long range shots in the
city, Wertz is full Of fight and on many
occasions he has turned the tide when a
Manual defeat seemed inevitable. He is
q veteran of last years crack agRreye
ton and knows the game from all
angles. He will bear watching in the
sectional tournament. Hawkins is the
unanimous selection for the second
choice back guard job. He has all the
makings of a great back guard being
ideally built, a quick thinker and pos
sesslng lots Of cork. His one drawback
is that he does not possess the speed
essential to n good back guard. small
and elusive forward is Hawkins's great
trouble, but very few under the basket
shots have been made against the east
side giant II the all-city first team
was chosen on the basis of stars sin their
positions only. Hawkins would be the
first back guard selected.
