(By the Associated Press) Seventy-eight North Dakota high | school basketball players were picked | by 32 coaches for all-state mention | in the annual canvas by the Asso- ciated Press this year. The poll showed that never before, in the history of North Dakota bas- ketball, have there been so many teams with star performers as was ‘the case this year. Leading the list was a rangy, red- thaired Irish lad from Grand Forks | Central high school, Kenneth Mulien by name. Mullen was a contender | for all-state honors last year and this year stands in a class by himself, re- ceiving twice as many votes as any other player named on the coaches’ all-state team. Observers who saw the Grand Forks “sorrel-top” in action said he can do everything which a basketball player should do and do it well. He gets the center position by a wide margin, O'Hare Is Second Second to Mullen and only a neck ahead of other players named on the all-state team, came John O'Hare, Bismarck high school’s prize all- around athlete. O'Hare, rated last fall as one of the greatest high school football players North Dakota has seen, was chosen for the back-guard po- sition.’ Most of the coaches who saw him in action rated him as the best guard developed this season. The other three candidates were tied in the voting. At forwards are Ronald Kvenmoen, fargo high school's flashy performer, and Glen Iverson of Minot. Kven- moen was outstanding in most of Far- go's games this year and Iverson was the star of the Magicians. Iverson played at center all year but is given @ forward position on the all-state team. Tall and active, Iverson was a leader in his team’s play and was deadly under the basket. Opposite O'Hare at guard is Ber- nard Smith, captain of the Grand Forks team and, next to Mullen, its star performer.

Booth is a tall, aggressive player and a heavy scorer, The third team aiso lists a group of fast and aggressive players. Bacon, Reeder, gets the center position. Metzger, Hebron’s center, also finds a place on the team as does Stolt of Sherwood, another center. They are given the forward posts. All are big men, Bacon being unusuaily tall. Jarvis of Valley City and Moen of joga, win the guard positions. Jar- is not a heavy scorer but is a fine floorman. Moen has burned up the courts in Northwestern North Dakota all season and scored more than 200 + points during the year. Rank and File Improves Judged by what their coaches say of them it might not be difficult to select, from the large list of players receiving honorable mention, a team which would give any of the first three teams a real tussle. They failed, however, to receive enough votes to win a place on any of the first three teams. One of the outstanding features of the season’s play was the large num- ber of outstanding centers. The three teams named list three centers who are given other positions in order to make room for them. The play of a number of other teams also revolved around strong pivot men. Thirty-two coaches participated in the Associated Press poll and them they saw practically every high school player in the state in action during the regular season, as well as in district tournaments. In order to insure a fair poll, the coaches of the teams going to the final contest in the district tournaments cast the ballots, Because coaches have to make the best use of the material they have, it ‘was stipulated that the selctions for any position need not be restricted to men who had played in that position throughout the year. One of the men named on the second team and two of those on the third team are mem- bers of teams which will not partici- pate in the state tournament. It was to insure recognition tothe best play- ers on teams which failed to find their way to the state tournament that a large number of coaches were asked to participate in the all-state selection.

The lack of a co-ordinated attack on the part of the all-stars brought out more strongly the value of team play.
