Howard Are Hcnored
By GEORGE HUBER.

Any outstanding athlete, espe-
cially If he is possessed Of that in
definable something known as
"colcr," is going to collect himself
A host of nicknames and af1ectionate
terms by which he is known to the
sports public. Babe Ruth can be
called by any of q dozen or more
names, Jack Dempsey by almost as
many and so can Red Grange, Lou
Gehrig and the rest of the big
timers in all sports.
A Washington high school boy
hardly can be expected to have
reached the big league status of
these athletes, but Don Hillock,
Wilson's basket ball standout, Is well
on his way to collecting a long list
Of nicknames handed him by fans
who have watched him through
two seasons of good playing with
the Tigers, climaxed this year when
he led Coach Tony Kupka's squad
to the first major high school sports
championship Wilson ever has won.
Call him "Rubberlegs," Bones"
"Donny Boy" "Goldilocks," Curly"
or anything else and he's still a
standout and as such gets first
mention on The Stars all-high
basket ball team.
Don Always . Threat
Tall. rangy and possessed Of an
eagle eye, Don was a threat any
time he had the ball His scoring
sprees weren't the only thing earn
ing him an all-high spot. however,
as he also was an ace ball handler
and real hawk under the basket
in wilson's zone defense.
Teaming with him both in the
scoring department and on defense
was little Freddy Vinson. another
important cog in Wilson's cham
pionship machine. His flying arms
and legs intercepted many enemy
passes on defense and his quick
breaks and accurate shooting on the
offense supplied a big share of the
Tigers punch. Always among the
big point getterS, he climaxed the
season by earning 20 points against
Central in the championship play
off.
The other three places on the all
high first team are divided among
Central, runnerup for the crown,
and Western and Roosevelt, the
two third-place Quints. Central
places Ted Thomaides, who al
though he wasn't considered among
the best Defensive players in the
city, was a left-handed flip-shot
artist whose amazing shooting put
Central in the playoffs.
Karas Is Repeater on Team.
Westerns Jim Karas, who with
Hillock is repeater on the all-high
team. and Roosevelt's Charley How
ard, both we're all-around players.
Jim especially was noted for his &C
curate set shooting, while Charley,
in addition to his defensive playing,
was good close under the basket.
Howard regularly played center for
the Rough Riders, but so did Hill
lock, and so Charley places on the
honor quint as guard.
Some more shifting was necessary
on the second team because Of all
the good centers around town. FL
mer Leukhardt of Anacostia and
Mike Lieb of Eastern both played
that position and played it well, so
Leukhardt, because of his scoring
pace, was made a forward.
Hank Lawler, Central standout,
especially with his quiet, steady de-
fensive work, earned a Second-team
berth. Others on the second team
are Frank Redinger Of Roosevelt
and Don Cross of Western.
