81. Anthony Standout
Rounds Out SeIection
On Stars Met Team

For the second year in row
George Washington High of
Alexandria has landed two play
ers on The Stars All-Tourna-
ment first team, selected on the
sbasis of individual performances
in the 22d annual Metropolitan
Invitational basketball tourna-
ment last week.
CIV, which finally won its
second tournament champion
ship after reaching the finals
three consecutive years. is repre-
sented on the first team by its
co-captains. Doug Yates and
Wilmer Anderson. Little Mike
Agee. a sophomore transfer from
Washington State. made the
second string and George Co
burn qualified for honorable
I mention.
Bennett Obvious Choice.
Gonzaga, Catholic League
champion which was defeated
by CIV in the Metro finals Fri
day night. also got a pair of its
players picked on the first team.
Ronnie Bennett was an obvious
selection after leading the Eagles
to victory over Mount Vernon
and then scoring 26 points in
Gonzaga's 44-42 upset of WASH
ington-Lee. the tournament fav-
orite. Fred Thornett. normally
an unSpectacular player. had an
outstanding tournament and was
picked for his all-around play in
three games.
Bill Cassidy of st. Anthony,
which was eliminated by CIV in
the semif1nals, completes the
first five. Cassidy equaled the
tournament record for individual
scoring when he tossed in 80
points against Wilson in the
opening round last Monday. He
got % points against CIV Thurs
day to trail only Yates for most
points in the tournament, al
though he played only two
games.
Steve Osisek. coaching the CIV
varsity for the first time, gives
his defense credit for the tourna-
ment victory and singles out
Yates. his 6-foot-3 forward, as
most responsible. Hes my best
rebound man and best overall
defensive player" Osisek says.
Yates Stars on Offense.
Although Osisek failed to mem
ton his offensive value, Yates
averaged 20.3 points for the
three tournament games and
scored Is in the final victory
over Gonzaga. During the regu-
lar season he ranked very high
among scorers in Virginia's
Group I schools.
Anderson and Agee work out
side both on the attack and in
GW'S zone defense and also help
Yates with most of the scoring.
Anderson. who specializes in
push shots beyond the foul circle,
is responsible for setting up the
CIV offense Probably Anderson's
most notable single performance
In the tournament was in the
first quarter of the game with
Landon last Monday when he
scored four consecutive set shots
, to vault CIV into a commanding
! lead that it never lost.

"A slight. young Hungarian,
who ran some of the worlds
greatest 800-meter men into the
ground, and a veteran Italian
nearing the end Of a great discus
career, took the play away from
Russia today in the European
games.
Lajos Szentgali, q 22-year-old
university student from Buda-
pest. won the 800 meters. feature
race of the next to last day in
the European Games. His time
was a spectacular 1:47.1.
Although Szentgali failed to
break the world mark of 1:46.6,
the race as a whole certainly
must have been the fastest ever
run. The first four men all
would have bettered the world
880-yard record, if they had run
the additional 2 feet, 8 inches.
And, the first four all bettered
the worlds second best previous
800-meter time.
Soon after Szentgali put on
the best performance of these
championships, Adolfo Consolini
stepped into the discus ring. Con-
solini. now So and for years the
dominant discus thrower in
Europe, got of heave of ITS
feet, 1893 inches to give italy it's
first championship. Giuseppe
Tosi, the Italian favorite, took
second.
