ALL-STARS
 NAMED FOR
 TOURNAMENT
Erskine Picked as Number One Man for Southeast
 Alaska Series

We've taken the bit in our teeth and flown in the facenof friend ships and Providence-We'v named an All-Star team out of the squads entering the Southeast Alaska Tour ney finishing up tonight.
 i Number one man on that team, we insist, is Claude Erskine, of Krauses, excellent on defense, fine on offense, and always in there ] fighting We put him in at guard
 For the other guard we name the colored boy, Arnold Harris, of Ket- chikan, a sweet ball handler with beautiful pass and a good bucket 1 eye
 Forwards oil the Empire All-Star squad are Pat Hagiwara, flashy 1 Japanese lad of Ketchikan, and Ed Hagerman, Petersburg forward l Hagerman, No. ', had a fine shooting average of eight field goals out of twenty shots last night, | which is around forty percent cracking good average in the best of leagues.
 In the center slot, we've got to ! put another Petersburg man, Elder Lee, lot faster than the average center a high scorer and fast {, thinker.
 1 That's the first string
 On the second five, we'd put Tommy Powers at guard from the Juneau High School, John Nagy at center from the Haida, Stack from the Haida at guard, Elmer Lind strom from Krauses at forward, and Concannon from Petersburg, up from guard to forward Real basketball fans will note that we haven't necessarily picked flash scorers, in all cases, although any one of these boys can turn in remarkable tallies. More than any other trait, the ability to handle ball and to think makes a bas- ketball player. That's what makes up this first team. good floor men, good ball handlers, good thinkers, and then good offensive and de- fensive men,
 "A man can be the best shot in the world, but he may not be worth a dime in ball game" is the sound opinion of one nationally known basketball coach, who adds, If he can fight all the time, use his head all the time, and shoot moderately well some of the time, he'll make my basketball team"
