For the first team. Wheeling gets
three. Bellaire,' Martins Ferry and LIN
SLY each two. while Cameron and Tria-
delphia each get one. The second team
finds Martins Ferry with three. Sellaire
and Wheeling each two; Magnolia. War

Moundsville and Follansbee each get

So the mythical Ohio Valley team Is
selected. Many will no doubt be dis
appointed. Others will be pleased. But
rho selection is made from the individ-
ual ability OF the various players ana
not their teams records. Many star
players are forgotten when playing with
poor teams that fail to make impress
sions. but they should not be left out in
the cold when the dishing out OF honorS
starts.
