Each placed two. The fifth mem- .er came from Purdue, the run- ner-up. Competition for berths on this all-star aggregation was just as close as the long championship campaign, a campaign replete with comebacks, thrills, upsets and some of the finest basketball ever ex- hibited along the circuit. Only one member was a unani- mous choice-Charles "Stretch" Murphy, Purdue's "string bean" center and ace of all Big Ten scorers. It was the second succes- sive year Murphy was a unanimous] selection. The others won by a margin of one or two votes out of the 20 cast. Four juniors and one senior compose the first team. In selecting the team, judges weighed general offensive and de- pfensive ability, of which height, de- ;pendability and speed were the' :main requirements. . Height, espe- cially, was taken into consideration ,as it was a prerequisite of success in the 1929 race. Harold "Bud" Foster, Wisconsin, was voted the outstanding forward of the season. Not only did he score 36 field goals and 23 free throws to tie for fourth place in the individual scoring race, but he was a great defensive player as. well. Foster, whose home is in Chicago, has another year to play.( Robert Chapman starred at cen- ter for Michigan, but he was placed as Foster's running mate at for- ward by the critics. Offensively,I Chapman provided Michigan's win-E ning punch. He was able to loop field goals from every angle and1 during the campaign scored 36E field goals and 22 free throws for 94 points. His range and speed also] contributed greatly to Michigan's great defensive record, and his.I passing was some of the prettiest' ever seen at Michigan. Chapman too, has another year of Big Ten competition. He comes from Ma.- rion, Ind., where he used to mate with "Stretch" Murphy on Marion's high school team. Murphy, another junior, easily. was the class of a great :collection of pivot men, the judges decided. First,.he shattered the all-time.Big, Ten scoring record of 133, estab-. lished by Johnny Miner of Ohio in 1925 by looping 49 field goals and 45 free throws for a total of 143 points. He also scored the greatest number of points in on .game, streaking through Chicago's de I fense for 26 points on Jan.14. :His six feet, six inches gave him ab:ig advantage on jumping center andj (Continued On Page 7) 2 Within the next six weeks the majot league baseball teams will swing into action again. Seven of the American League clubs will be trying to -do something that, in the past several years, has proven impossible to accomplish. That is, to stop the "New York Yankees., Maybe the trick will be turned this year as New York appears to be slightly weaker than usual.

I Manager Huggins looks for Fred Heimach, formerly of St. Paul, to become a star this year, while! considerable help may be expect- ed from Henry Johnson and Mylesl Thomas.
