r - | EASTERN, WESTERN CRLS PROMINENT Combination Strong in Pass- ing and Shooting as Well as Defense. BY CORINNE FRAZIER. MYTHICAL all - Washington basket ball squad has been picked by The Star from the ranks of the class teams in the five local high schools, includ- ing the players whose performance has stood out during the past season of intramural games. There is_nothing official about the selection. It is simply by way of pay- ing tribute to the good work done by players who are representative in their skill on the court, their spirit of play. their team loyalty and their type of sportsmanship. There undoubtedly are others who are equally skillful, equally loyal or equally sporting, in spirit—several of whom it was hard to choose between in making the selections. But it is be- lieved that those named are represen- tative in their respective positions, hav- ing a combination of all the gualities which go to make up the outstanding basket ball player. In the first line are picked Mary wWiles of Eastern, Iras Burroughs of Central, forwards; Catherine Crane of Western, center; Grace Haley of East- ern, side center; Katherine Wassmann of McKinley and Alice Imiay of East- ern, guards. The reserves, most of whom ran an exceedingly close race for ' first string positions and who could be used alternately with the first six with- out perceptibly weakening the line, in- clude Florence Grady of Western, for- ward: Rebecca Heffner of Business, center; Helen Notter of McKinley, side center, and Hylna Mays of Business and Katherine McCandless, Western, guards. Helen Bittinger of Western was considered seriously for a side- center post, as was Amy Veerhoff of ! Central for one of the guard positions. | Both of these girls are keen passers and . deserve mention. Graguations Hit Central. Western and Eastern. as a whole, had the fastest sextets this season, hence have the greatest representation on the team. A year ago, Central would have had the preponderance of players, but some of their most skillful performers were lost through graduation last June. Katherine Wassmann, McKinley’s star guard, who graduates in June, has { a most unusual and enviable record. During her three or four years in the backfield on her class teams she has not had one personal foul recorded against her. It is doubtful if any other guard in the city can match her clean siate. Nor has her orthodox play in any way reduced her effectiveness. She is one of the most dificult guards to elude, and ! has rarely if ever been caught napping t her t. = Alice pDlsx'nlly of Eastern, another senior, is considered by her athletic directors to be the best all-around guard in the history of the school, while Grace Haley, the diminutive side- center on Eastern’s class of '29 team, claims her place on the phantom six by virtue of her phenomenal speed and good headwork. Combined with this is the fact that she is almost impecssible to guard ef- fectively because of her slight stature. A twist or a wriggle and she's off like a streak, often slipping under the arm of a stalwart guard to gain her freedom. Her one fault. a tendency to take steps with the ball, cost her critical penalties, but, all in all, Grace is a crackerjack pivot player. And she can shoot baskets as well. She has been known to roll them in at the rate of onedn minute when used in the forward field. Catherine Crane, Western's rangy . junior center, has the reach on.most centers in the city, and, in addition, carries an extremely level head on her shoulders. Irss Burroughs, crack for- ward on Central's senior squad, is a cg'g:mnt team player and an expert shot. Tosses Goals Backward. Mary Wiles of Eastern, class of °29. stands out for her peculiarly individual method of goal.throwing which nets her a generous count against the average guard. Miss Wiles can find the basket from almost any con- + ceivable position—and usually elects to toss them in backward, from which . position she is practically immune from effective guarding. Florence Grady, who with Katherine McCandless, both of Western, are the two youngest members of the mythical squad, both are sophomores. Grady's speed and accuracy in the fore-field earned place for her as re- serve forward, while Miss McCandless, alert and cool-headed, shares the re- serve backfield with Hylna Mays of Business, the most consistently effec- tive player in the recent intersectional series at the Rhode Island School. Rebecca Heflner, also of Business, alternates with Miss Crane at center on the all-high combination, while Helen Notter, McKinley Senior, re- | lieves Miss Haley at the side-center post. Miss Notter, while not so fleet of foot as Miss Haley, is nevertheless a ripid-action player and is good both on defense and attack. All of the players selected earned basket ball emblems on their respec- tive class squads, major letters being awarded all but the McKinley players who are presented minor T's according 10 the regulations of their athletic asso- ¢iation, which does not provide for major letter awards to the girl athletes.

Play in the first round was to have been finished this past week, but rain heid up so many matches that officials decided to set the deadline for first-round matches at next Friday, at the same time that second-round re- ports are to be made in full. Phoebe Moorhead, president of the league has announced that matches must be played within the week as- signed except when weather makes any play impossible. Players who are un- able to make arrangements for a match during its scheduled time must provide substitutes, so that the match can be played off. Team leaders have the names of substitutes who may be called upon for such occasions, and players are requested to report to their leaders promptly if a substitute is required. ‘The team line=up in the league is the same this year as last. It includes the George Washingtonians, present title holders; Bureau of Standards. Mount Pleasant, Columbia Club, Nationals, l;:okqucurs, Rock Creek and Wardman k. A few changes are noted in the No. 1 position and in leaders. Mrs. Ruth Martinez will lead the Wardman Park who has resigned. Mrs. M. E. Irwin, known to tennis fans as Virginia Cline- dinst, will be back in the league this season and will lead the Rock Creek squad. Josephine Dunham is playing No. 1 on Mount Pleasant, replacing Corinne Frazier, who will not play reg- ularly in the Spring matches. although she expects to take part in later events. Mrs. George B. Vest, secretary of the league, will co-operate with any leader having difficulty in filling any of her positions. The No. 2 position of the Wardman Park team is still open and Mrs. Vest or Mrs. Martinez would be glad to receive any applications for this post from new yers in the city. The former may be reached at Cleveland 4293 and the latter at Columbia 9556-J. Players are lined up on their teams as follows: George Washin = | whlker Clevelang VAt Noc .

MICHELIN 35x5 ..$12.95 Firsts CORD SPECIAL TWING MAY IDLE BECAUSE OF INURY Step_p_ing in- Hole ng‘Keep Colt Out of B_ot_h Preak- - ness and the Derby. PIMLICO RACE TRACK, Md., May 4—Twink, the 3-year-old black son of Blink 2d—Banniere, owned by Mrs. L. G. Kauffman, stepped in a hole here this morning and suffered injuries that | caused his being withdrawn from the | Hilltop, a mile and one-sixteenth race | that was being run today as a tryout | for the $50,000 Preakness May 10. Twink's leg filled during the walk | from the track to the stable and Train- | er Healy thinks the colt will be an ab- sentee from both the Preakness and Kentucky Derby. Several complaints were heard around here today over Jockey G. Wil- liams, who was up on Bobashela yes- terday, being allowed to ride. No fault was being found with the honesty of Willlams’ ride, but horsemen say e 1ad suffers with asthma and cannot & his mounts justice. It is reported that Williams could hardly walk to the jockeys’ quarters after the running of the race due to his ailment. If such is the case, then some action should be taken, as Bobashela was a favorite yes- terday and might have won with a more vigorous ride. Col. William H. Robinson. a membe: of the Cumberland (Md.) Racing At sociation; Senator D. A. Robb and M. Hewitt, vice president of the Cum: berland Steel Co., who is also audit of the Cumberland Fair, were visitors today. Hewitt and Edward Brennan, who will fill the race secretary’s role, conferred with numerous horsemen in regards shipping to the Cumberland meeting next August. Word reached here today that the Jacques Stable's Essare, three-year-old son of Light Brigade—Wistaria, left New ‘York, bound for this track. He is com- ing down to fulfill his engagement i the $50,000 Preakness. Essare has won two races in New York, and its owner turned down an offer of $70.000 for him severald ays ago. Essare Wintered at Bowie and is trained by Johnny John- szg who formerly handled Jim Butler's string. ‘Trainer Johnny Schorr shipped eight of the E. B. McLean Stable from herc to Lexington today. Ernie Myatt, who was an arrival from New York, states that he will likely take his stable to Thorncliffe ‘at the conclusion of this meeting. It was work-day here for numerous Preakness candidates. The m Stable's Buckrill showed a mile in 1:46; Rubicon, one that racers for the Dor- wood Stable, three-quarters in 1:18; R. one-quarter in 2:10, while C.
