Purdue_were unanimous choices of the Big Ten coach2s for for- ward and center in a compilation of all-Conference players by the Associat- ed Press today. In a field of great scoring centers, with only a few for- wards pressing the tip-off men this sea- son for high scores, these two stood out, Oosterbaan winning the individual point-scoring honors for the season. As a running mate for Oosterbaan, the selections were divided among four forwards, with Wells of Indiana receiv~ ing as many votes as all the others combined. He also received votes as a guard, though fewer than Correll of Indiana and Kemmer of Purdue. All five of these players figured heav- ily In the scoring plays of their teams. The second team selections of the coaches turned toward the two out- standing back guards of the seasons, Hotchskiss of Wisconsin and Hoerger of | i Chicago. These two were almost with- out competition for the guard places on the second team. Walter of Northwestern, the rival of Murphy as a sopohomore center sensa- tion. was almost universally chosen as a forward for the second team, the tip- off job falling to Branch McCracken of Indiana. ~Harmeson of Purduc was picked for Walter's running mate. Eleven forwards were listed in the coaches’ selections, five centers and thirteen guards. ‘The all-Conference coaches follows teams of the phein: Wilcox, Towa gan. «Chapman _and MeCoy y Tlinois: Scheide.
