DEPRIEST BACKS NON-PARTlSAN MEETING
Virginia Bank
Asks Examiner
To Take Charge

SUFFOLK, Va.-The Phoenix
Bank of Hausemond, failed to open
its doors for business last Friday
morning.
The following notice, signed by
the president. J. W. Richardson, was
posted:
"Be it resolved, that it is the sense
of the board of directors of the Phoe-
nix Bank of Hausemond, for the best
interest of our depositors and to con-
serve our assets, the board of direc-
tors of this bank have placed its af-
fairs in the hand of State Banking
Department, pending the appoint
ment of receiver"
The institution has enjoyed ten
years of public confidence which re-
mains unimpaired. Its magnificent
home in the heart of the business
district on +. Washington Street, is
valued at 100000.
I'm view of the economic depres-
sion which necessitated Withdrawals
by depositors and decreased the vol
ume of deposits, the board of direc-
tors voluntarily placed the affairs
of the bank in the hands of the
Banking Department and requested
the appointment of receiver as a
precautionary step to conserve as
sets" declared Robert Williams, one
of the directors.
"Im pleased to say" said this of
fetal, that the bank examiners
found our affairs in good shape and
commended the action of the direct
crate. We retain the confidence and
good will of our friends and our peo-
Pile are appreciative of what we have
done. The local banks are cooperat-
ing with us in the work of rehabili-
tation."

Cards Hope to Remain Trumps In Loop
st. Louis Manager Believes He
Has Good Playing Combi-
nation This Season

Badenton, Fla, Mach 1O.-P)-The
st. Louis Cardinals, champions Of the
National league, have acquired the
winning habit and expect to keep it.
They have won three pennants in
five years, they have developed the
most successful farm system possessed
by any club in the big leagues, and
Tuesday they were enjoying the salts
faction Of having taken two out OF
three exhibition games from the
worlds champion Athletics in Miami
and Fort Myers as a stimulant to the
spring training process.
From their grizzled pilot, Charles
(Gabby) Street, down to the raWest
rookie product of their famous chain
store" system, the Cardinals believe
they have the stuff to win the Nation
al league race again.
Have Outstanding Stars
We've got some outstanding stars,
but it's the combination as a whole,
and the clubs wonderful spirit, that
makes me feel confident. We've got
one of the greatest all-around young
players in Charley Colbert at short.
With Frank Trisch at second, the
combination has no equal, in my opln-
ion," said Street.
I'VE have wonderful pitching to ex-
pect from such men as Rhem, Haines,
Grimes, Hallahan and Johnson OF last
years regulars. I do not hesitate to
say we expect great things from two
newcomers, Dizzy Dean. who came
up from Houston late last year. and
Paul Derringer, from Rostaster. Both
have the stuff.
Expect Hard Race
What more could we ask? l know
the race will be tough all the way. We
are up against the strongest kind of
opposition, but I am satisfied We can
meet it."
Jimmy Wilson will do most Of the
catching, supported by young Gus
Mancuso and the veteran Cuban. Mike
Gonzales. who is as spry as any
rookie, despite his 80 years.
Street expects Jim Bottomley to
stage a big comeback at first. to the
of Sunny Jim's critics. but
there is a capable understudy avail
able in Jimmy Collins. Frisch. Colbert
and Sparky Adams, at third, round
out the infield.

WESLEY FESLER IS
PICKED FOR GUARD
BERTH ON QUINTET
Johnny Wooden, Purdue's Drib'
bling Ace, Is Only Repeat
er From Last Year
REPRESENT FIVE SCHOOLS
Reiff and Schoening Are Only
Ski ooters to Be Picked
for Honor Five

Chicago, March Wesley
Fesler, Ohio States all-America end
has been named a guard on the Asso-
ciated press all Western conference
basketball team, selected by a vote OF
Big Ten court coaches.
Other four selections are from as
many different schools, with Johnny
Wooden, Purdue guard, as the only
repeater from last season.
Joe Reiff, sophomore forward on
Northwestern's first championship
Hardwood team, was the most con
sistent vote-getter, being selected by
every coach for a first-team berth
either at forward or center. His run
ming mate at forward is Captain
Harry %Schoening of Minnesota.
Daniels Made Center
The center position went to Norman
Daniels of Michigan, with sFesler and
Wooden as the guards. The forwards
and center were named by a clear-cut
margin, but the guard jobs were
keenly contested. Fesler's selection
followed his being placed on the all
conference football squad for the past
three seasons.
The forwards, Reiff and Schoening,
are the only s~iX-footers On the team.
Reiff. who started at center, was
moved to forward, where his shooting
ability gave him the individual scor-
ing championship with 1872 points. He
is 6 feet 3 inches tall, handles the
ball cleverly, and is a dead shot any
where inside the foul line.
%Schoening, a senior, who stands an
even 6 feet, was the sparkplug of the
best team Minnesota has had since
1919. A good shot who amassed So
points, he also was a good ball han
dler. strong defensively, and q good
leader.
Daniels maintained Michigan's mark
of seldom going without a first-team
player and was the Wolverines high
scorer, with SO points. He was the
keyman in Michigan's offense, and
his shooting was consistently effective.
Guard Margins Slim
Fesler, playing his last season, re-
ceived six first-team votes but was
not mentioned by the other coaches.
Wooden's margin owe Marshall of
Northwestern. Altenhof Of Michigan
and Fish of Chicago was slim. Fesler
was as much a forward as a guard,
and lead his team In scoring with GA
points. Wooden, the sensation of the
1880 season, had not quite as much
help as a year ago. and failed to play
as brilliantly. However, his 'dribbling
was the best in the league. and his
shooting, which gave him 86 points,
him favor again. He is a junior.
The second-team selections were:
Charles Harper, Illinois, and Bert
Riel, Northwestern. forwards; Bob
McCarnes, Northwestern. center; and
Ray Altenhof, Michigan, and Frank
Marshall, northwestern, guards.
