Last nights IL rout of the Phila-

point away from sealing the playoff
berth beyond the reach of Provi-

matches left on their schedule, the
Reds would have to sweep the trio

last four games in order TO gain

Five Big Ten 0uints

CHICAGO, March s-To the
victor goes the spoils and to the
first division teams in the Big Ten
basket ball race go the places on the
conference all-star basket ball team
selected for the Associated Press by
the coaches.
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana
and Purdue each placed one man on
the honorary selections. Illinois
won the championship and Iowa,
Indiana and Wisconsin tied for
second place. Purdue shared fifth
place with Minnesota, which placed
q man on the second team.
Big Andy Phillip, sophomore
sensation who led the individual
scoring of the championship Illinois
five, was the only unanimous selec-
ton. He was placed at guard, along
with Andy thinner of Indiana.
Milton Kuhl of Iowa was voted the
outstanding center. Forward posi-
tions went to John Kotz Of Wisconsin
and Forrest Frosty" Sprowl of
Purdue.
Phillip, in addition to being the
lone unanimous choice, was the only
sophomore given recognition. Kotz
is a junior making his second ap-
pearance on the all-star; Kuhl is a
mid-semester senior who will be
eligible for half of next season, and
Sprowl and thinner have completed
their collegiate cage careers.
Kotz was the leading scorer OF the
Big Ten and holds new record for
conference point-makers with 242
for the season. His record replaced
the 1874 scored by Jewell Young of
Purdue in the 12-game schedule in
1888. Since the program was ex-
panded to IS games for the first time
this season, and will be trimmed to
13 next year to accommodate service
teams, Kotz' record may enjoy a
long run.

Navy Life Restores
Qualities,
Aposto|i Claims
Sailor Backs His Belief
In Comeback Victory
Over AreIIuno
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, March 9.-As a
walking advertisement for Uncle
Sans Navy and what it can do for
a young fellow, we give you Fred
Apostoli as today's best window dis
play.
The eX-middleweight king. who
was rated only four years ago as
the best fighter in the world for
his weight and inches at that time,
is on the way back again with fair
chance of making the grade. And
he credits the life of a sailor boy
with the biggest responsibility for
switching him from a washed-up
warrior to that of a guy heading
up the comeback trail with a lot of
hope.
He's a far different Apostoli than
the beaten battler who had his title
and his ears knocked off by Ceferino
Garcia, who barely lasted against
Melio Bettina more than year ago.
Always quiet, keeping to himself, he
fairly sparkleS now when he tells
you how he feels-stronger than at
any time in three years, able to hit
harder and think faster.
Navy Gets Him Back in Shape.
And the Navy did it." he said
today as he headed back to the
Norfolk base after polishing off
Augie Arellano in just under five
heats Saturday night-the first
time the Houston husky ever was
stopped and the fourth straight
kayo in the comeba K campaign.
Since I enlisted, his sailor life
has put me back : shape. The
environment is perfect for a young
felloW-it makes him feel right at
home. There's nothing like it."
This is not to say that Freddie is
ready to climb into the ring right
now with Tony Zale, the tummy-
humping current boss of the 160-
Founders. The soft-spoken San
Francisco failer is a lot smarter
than that. knowing more than one
and-one about such things, he re-
allies he needs considerably more
work before he goes to the post in
the big heat.
But I can get that in two or
three more fights like Saturdays,
depending, of course, that they don't
interfere with my being sailor"
he explained. Those fights should
be spread over few months. Along
about July I'll be ready to go with
the big fellows again. After all, I'm
only 20 and I figure I have two more
good years left"
Beats Arellano Easily.
In outlining these plans, Freddy
gives you a sharper picture of the
setup than if you'd taken one with
a camera. Saturday nights affair
was strictly no contest. After the
first round, Apostoi punched Arel-
lano all over the place as if he owned
him.
But in making his first start since
October, when he broke his left
hand, he did show that he still has
his refexes and coordination, or
a reasonable facsimile thereof.
These are the things so often missing
in a comebacking fghter-and the
fighter himself usually is the last
person in the world to discover he's
through.
