rector; Elem OF Agricul-
tural College Also Picked.

Coach Paul Jones Davis. director
of athletics at the University OF
North Dakota, has picked an ail-star
collegiate basketball team at the re-
quest OF tho sporting editor of h
Herald. In selecting his team. Mr..
Davis announced that he has given
every player in tho state careful con-
s%idcration and that the following is
his version OF the mythical qu;nt:
ST. UOuScr. forward. university.
Richards, forward, university.
Rualickcr, center, university.
Sinclair. guard. university.

Tho following is Mr.. Davis state.
mcnt regarding the team:
"%Ilouser is without doubt tho great
est basketball player cvcr developed
in North Dakota. He is superior i'll
shooting to any basketball player
who ever played on Il state team. He
is a wonderful paSsrr. a good foul
fensivc player. ! place him at right

floor man ever seen in action in this
state. AS Il piasscr he has no superior
and his defensive work is as strong
as his offensive play. He has a super
natural knack Of knowing when to
start and stop 4. dribhlc at tho propcr
which is the failing OF so
many OF the so-callcd %dribblers. His
dribbling proved to be a big asset to
his team while tho dribbling of 80
per cent of the individual players
proves to be Il serious detriment. !
doubt very much if the basketball
fans OF this state will ever be given
tho pleasure of seeing two such men
as Richards and Houscr in action on
a North Dakota floor again for a
number Of years.
For the center position ] select
Busdickcr Of tho university. No CEN
ter has outpiayed or o%utscorcd him
his season and he is only a freshman
, He generally gets the tip off. He is
a good shot and Il. good passcr but is
a little slow on his feet toward the
end of most games. Hc is the great
est man in the ~tri-statc in following
up shots and tipping them in from
the blackboard.
For right guard ! select Sinclai,
Of the university. l always consid
cred Ray B%olsinger, formerly A., c
star guard. one of the greatest floor
guards l eve saw. AS a standing
guard, Sinclair hasn't an equal ir
North or South Dakota OF in Mime
sofa. And as a floor guard ! think HI
is nearly the equal Of Bolsinscr
though the latter was a better shot
But none Of the present state foo
or standing guards arc his equal.
For left guard my choice is Flen
of the A. c. | don't think that HI
guards any closer than Stcnshoel o
the university or Cheney of Fargo
college. but he has it on the other
when it comes to passing, shooting
and dribhling. Though he is a goot
dribbler as he controls the ball good
it isn't much of an asset to him 70
