The Stars 1854 All-Metropoli-
tan high school basketball team
features two record breaking
scorers. blackboard control and
an outstanding floor leader.
Scoring at the pace they set
this season, zeke zirkle of Ana
costa. Elgin Baylor of Spingarn.
Lew Luce of Wilson. Bob Rusev-
1yan of st. Johns and Doug
Yates of George Washington
would average ITS points per
game for the All-Metro team.
Baylor, 6-foot-4Ea, broke just
about every record in the books
in Division II of the Interhigh
League. He finished with a 36.1
scoring average for eight league
games. In one game he scored
SO points, modern-day record.
In another he scored As. one
more than the total for the op-
posing team.
Zirkle Totals 204 Points.
Zirkle accumulated 204 points
in the eight-game schedule in
Division I. eclipsing the previous
record of 1879 set by Lonnie
Herzbrun of Wilson last year.
Ironically, Luce broke Herr
bruins record on the last day Of
league competition with a 202
total only to see zirkle add two
more later the same day.
With Baylor and Luce making
shots of every description. Zirkle
on Jump shots. Yates on hook
shots from the pivot and Baylor
and Yates to control the boards.
this team hardly would need
scoring help from Rusevlyan.
Rusevlyan averaged ia points
for seven league games, but he
was not picked for his scoring.
He is st. Johns big gun. take
charge player who sets up the
offense and sparks the defense.
Rusevlyan Clutch Player.
Hes the type who'll do a
bang-up job on the player he's |
guarding" his coach, Joe Gal
lagher, said. And if its points |
you need in the closing minutes
of a game. he can get them for |
you. He's a clutch player"
In addition to making ALL
Metro, each was a first team Sc
lection in his league. The scor-
ing averages. besides Baylor and
Rusevlyan. were Zirkle, 25.5: |
Luce, 25.3. and Yates, 1910, based |
on league games only.
Zirkle. Baylor and Yates had |
the top-scoring averages in their |
respective leagues. Bill Cassidy |
of st. Anthony, on the All-Cath-
olic first team, led that league

the Maryland Bi-County first
team. led that league with 1T.
