ANYTHINGS AND EVERYTHINGS FROM NOWHERE
IH PARTICULAR
V« p, it's about that time. Everybody’s doin’ it .. . now’s the time
to get on the bandwagon. Doin’ what? Picking the All-American
basketball team, of course. Without further adieu, here’s our selec
tions. May the sparks fall where they may.
We can hear it now. You’re saying to maybe not
to yourselves—where is Don Hennon on this club? Well, we didn’t
pick him—although it took us a while to come up with our fifth man,
Boozer.
Why didn't we pick Hennon? Simple enough: we didn’t feel
that his shooting ability—and that’s all he can do, shoot—was
enough of a recommendation for All-American honors. We admit
that he is perhaps the most accurate shooter in collegiate basketball
today. But that, in our mind, is where his outstanding skill stops.
Hennon is no help in the rebounding department. His ball
handling. although clever, is not especially outstanding. He can't
lead a fast break a la the king, Rodgers. Defensively, he is only
mediocre —we wouldn’t call him a ball hawk. So. what’s left?
His shooting. It was his shooting that won him publicity and
publicity that won him two first-team All-American honors.
Although it may not seem that way, we do consider him to be
an outstanding ballplayer—but only because of his scoring ability.
He certainly wouldn’t be a handicap to our first team. But, in picking
our All-Americans, we looked for all-around skill in our candidates.
Boozer is better, we think, in more departments than Hennon.
Thus, he gets the nomination—but only by a slight margin.
There's our case. Differences are expected and welcomed. After
all, it’s only one man’s opinion.
West Virginia beat us to the punch. They ware dropped from
the NCAA tourney faster than we thought they would. We had
expected the Mountaineers to mael Temple in the Eastern regional
finale. Thai's when we thought they would lose.
And since we’re throwing ourselves open to arguments, the
Owls are our pick to win the NCAA’s. We see only one team who;
could beat them—Cincinnati. That is, of course, barring an upset.
It’s a little late to report this—but not too late what with Rod
gers making these All-American teams. It seems as though there
was a difference among the Pittsburgh sportswriters as to his All-
American status. One writer. Bob Drum of the Press, came out in a
by-lined column saying Rodgers was no more than a average player 1
who was fortunate enough to have outstanding teammates.
However, the night before the Pitt-Penn State cage game,
Rodgers led his Owls to a smashing 74-40 victory over Duquesne.
With his performance, he won the hearts of the Pittsburgh fans
and sportswriters—probably even Drum’s.
So convinced of Rodgers' AU-American calibre w#a Sun-Tele
graph writer George Kiseda the! he wrote: "If Rodgera isn’t an
All-American. Sarah Vaughn can't sing. Esther Williams can't
swim. Fred Astaire can't dance and Heinz can't sell pickles."
Doesn't leave 100 much doubt about it. does it?

This tourney differs from the
Pitt affair in two ways—schools
other than those of the EIWA
will be represented and no formal
champions will be crowned.
Speidel instead stressed the
value of the tourney as being in
the “very good contacts” the boys

During their stay at the Aca
