ssthere" all of the time. He dribbles
well, passes well, but is little weak
on front line defense.
Westpahl of Long Prairie copied
the center position honors with out
any trouble. There were three or
four good centers in this tournament
but Westphal was the star. He car
ried much of the Long Prairie Of
Tense.
johnson of Glenwood won a place
on the All Conference team because
of his exceptionally accurate passing,
his aggressiveness, and his flight.
johnson played well all season and
was one of the main reasons for
Glenwood's good season.
The other position went to Melch-
sner of Long Prairie. Meichsner was
a good guard during the tournament
and it was very evident that very few
plays got around him. He is not a
fashy player but debepdable, we'll
versed athlete.
Ross of Long Prairie and Prescott
of Osakis were each mentioned for
positions, but neither received enough
votes to get place. Honorable men
tion included Roach of Eagle Bend;
johnson of Alex; Nelson of Sank
Centre; Parker of Glenwood; Laid of
Glenwood; and Strack of Long Prai-

What great combination these
five men would make. Each man has
a particular characteristic which
stamps his playing different from the
others. MacDermond's long shots,
Peterson's side shots, Westphal's
dribbling and strong defense, Meich-
sner's guarding, and Johnson's &C
curate passing-just the features Of
play every coach tries to inculate in
his team. In these five men you have
the "pick" Of the entire district, and
each is worthy of the honor paid
him.

Sank Centre-Glenwood
60 H. \
was the Sank Centre-Glenwood af-
fair. These two teams came upon
the floor at about 900 o'clock Friday,
and from then on until the final
whistle it was a lively battle. By the
score % to Is. Glenwood defeated
Sank Centre and eliminated the To-
calls from the championship race.
Shooting baskets with uncanny skill
Captain McDermond set the pace for
his teammates, but neither Hines or
Cliff could connect for basket. Nc
Dermond made fourteen of the eigh-
teen points registered on the books
for Sank Centre. Nelson outplayed
Parker and scored more points than
his opponent, Janecke and Pierson
played good game at guard, but
Pierson had considerable difficulty in
keeping Ladd and Irgens away from
the basket. Ladd was unusually &C
curate in shooting, and scored nine
points for Glenwood. Most of his
shots were from difficult angles.
Parker had his hands full trying to
out-jump "Swede," but he managed
to get within scoring distance on
several occasions. Parker pivoted
easier and to better advantage than
amy other man in the tournament.
Laid started the scoring for Glen
wood. He followed this with a free
throw and another basket. Then Ir-
gems got loose for an easy shot. Nc
Dermond encountered difficulty with
the Glenwood defense so he resorted
to long shots. He made two clean
throws from the center of the court,
and then added point via the free
throw route. Nelson was fouled for
holding, but Glenwood missed, Glen
wood was called for travelling
John Gagged another long shot, but
was fouled soon after the shot, for
shacking 4" Irgens missed. The play
ing because loose and ragged as the
quarter ended.
Nelson was getting the jump most
of the time. Johnson, at guard, kept
close watch of Hines, and Archie
couldn't get a shot, Nelson got his
first basket this time, Hines was fouled
for pushing a Glenwood player. Laid
AIDED two more points, and Irgens add
ed two. Coach Kaslow substituted
Cliff for Hines. MacDermond shot
a long one; Nelson fouled. Sank
Centres passing was good but much
difficulty was experienced in working
the ball through the strong Glenwood
five-man defense. The half ended Is
to IL.
Second Half
The same lineup started the second
half. Swede was charged with an
other personal foul; McDermond was
called on travelling" Irgens fouled,
and McDermond added a point to his
