Pleasant J rove. After compittron of the hectic Alpine season, sports fans, play-'rs, play-'rs, officials, coaches and sports writers all begin to think about their nominations lor that most coveted of all mythical honors, tne all-district team. This year, with an abundance of good material ma-terial from which to pick, the task was harder than ever. The Herald All-Alpine team is the best team that a group of coaches, officials, and sports-writ ers could pick. Nominations were given for three team places, and the players were judged according accord-ing to points for positions received. receiv-ed. The first team combines two fast, tricky forwards, plus a towering tow-ering center, and two great de fensive guards to add everything a coach could desire to the team. The powertul Provo Bulldogs dominated the first two teams, placing three men on the first team and two on the second. Lehi placed three rpen on the second team to hold dominance there. Clark Outstanding Rand Clark, the diminutive Provo sharpshooter was the outstanding out-standing forward in the region. Clark was a unanimous choice. Harry Suker, who played center for the Bulldogs was moved to forward by most of the pickers, Suker is a great floor man. He has perhaps the greatest number of shots completed on the ratio of shots attempted of any man in the district. This gives a crack pair of forwards who both cover the floor well and are good shots. The other tovo forward, Dick Dabling, hung up a great season to pull down the second place ballot bal-lot of most of the judges. Dabling is big and fast and a good shot. Teaming with Dabling is the fourth of a quartet of forwards, who caught the eye of most fans, Dale Russon of- Lehi, who led the Pioneers all season. The third team berths went to Boyd Worthen who has been the standout stand-out on a weak club all year and Morris Ingersoll, -who played some pretty good ball for the American Fork Cavemen. At center the judges gave the yond a doubt the most polished player in the loop. The big guard seems to instinctively know what to do and he adds steadiness as well as scoring punch to the Provo Pro-vo attack. Ford was the unanimous unani-mous choice of all the judges. Oldroyd played great ball all year for the Wildcats. He lost his scoring punch along at the first: of the year, but he has tien regaining his shooting eye in rich successive game. He is a great defensive man and handled the bankboards like he owns them. He gets a great deal of the credit in 'holding Rand Clark down to two points, which is no small feat in itself. Every time you place two good men on a first team you have to drop four other likely boys lower down. Duane Mecham, dark-haired Provo ace and Jay Lambert,, big Lehi guard, were two boys that were very hard to keep off the first team. Lloyd Walker and Bob Perry round out the honor roll of guards. Perry was steady and dependable all season and it took four mighty good men to keep this boy on the third team. He was especially good at blocking shots under the basket, and played a nice floor game. One guard who would have been a good bet for all-district honors if he could have, completed the season should rate some words of tribute. Doug Jenkins of BY High became eligible after the first three games of the season, but during those games he was really great. No matter how hard you try, there are always too many good men to fill all the positions. It is hard to keep such men as Boyd Swenson, Pleasant Grove forward; Ken Watts, Lincoln guard, Maurice Welsh, American Fork guard; Paul Price, Lehi guard, and many others such as they off of any honor team. These boys played just as hard all season sea-son as the ones chosen, and they were all good men. A place on the list of honorable mention is always open to such players as these. f,. LIEN QUINTS CONCLUDE MEET SALT LAKE CITY, March 13 Sugar City, Idaho, and Taylors-ville Taylors-ville battled it out for the L. D. S. all-church basketball championship champion-ship in the tourney finals at the Deseret gym late Saturday night. The short Idaho quintet worked its way to the finals by winding up a series of upsets with a 44 to 22 victory over the favored North Hollywood, Cal. team Friday. Fri-day. Taylofsville, champions of the South Salt Lake district won the right to participate in the finals by beating the Salt Lake 27th 34 to 29 in the semi-finals. One of the best games of the tourney was Friday's Bonneville-Mesa Bonneville-Mesa tilt in which the Bonne-vil'.e Bonne-vil'.e five won 24 to 22 in an extra period. By contrast Smithfield ran away from pre-tournament re spected Edgehill 48 to 15. j In other consolation flight games Ogden 4th beat Provo 3rd, 39 to 29 and Springville 1st whipped whip-ped Santa Clara 39 to 22. Smithfield and Ogden met Saturday Sat-urday for fourth and seventh places in the tournament. Twenty-seventh Twenty-seventh met North Hollywood to decide the third and sixth place. Bonneville and Springville tangled for fifth in the M Men's tournament for 1943. Provo Third ward, defeated Friday night by Ogden Fourth and knocked out of the tourney, went into the classic somewhat crippled. Ash Fielding was lost to the service, and Leudell Orr did not accompany the team for the last two games. Provo was behind the Ogden club all the way in losing their second game after winning from Sandy and losing to Sugar City, Idaho, in their previous pre-vious games. Springville First, Provo district dis-trict champs, won the right to meet Bonneville for the consolation consola-tion title by dumping Santa Clara Friday night by a score of 39-22. The Springville five, led by Lyman Ly-man Rothwell with 12 points .and Woodrow Weight with 10 count ers, were out in front all the way to clinch the game and the chance to complete for fifth place in the meet.

NEW YORK, March 13 (CP) It would be factual reporting but the height of understatement to say merely that Jimmy Bivins, long-armed Cleveland negro, won another close 10-round decision over New York's Tami Mauriello at jam-packed Madison Square Garden last night. Such a statement would be completely com-pletely inadequate, because more than 20,000 fans unquestionably witnessed the most remarkable pre-fight tableau in the history of leather-tossing. Their appreciating, and at times tear-dimmed, eyes saw global warfare clasp hands heartily with the sport of boxing as four rep-presentatives rep-presentatives of American freedom free-dom commanded the roped and canvassed stage in electrifying fashion Corp. Barney Ross, former for-mer Mayor Jimmy Walker, Italian Ital-ian Tami Mauriello and Negro Jimmy Bivins. The fight the main event between be-tween two young heavyweights was excellent. Every one of the 19,982 cash customers who contributed con-tributed to this year's biggest boxing gate, $74,715, got his money's worth to say nothing of the dividends from the personal appearances of Corporal Ross and Ex-Mayor Walker. Maurirllo, awkward, dark-haired Bronx Italian, lost -a close decision de-cision to Bivins just as he did in their first meeting last September Sep-tember at Cleveland. But in Maur-iello's Maur-iello's last fight before entering the army he came closer to being knocked out in the sixth and seventh rounds than at any time in his career. However, he remained re-mained afoot and kept on fighting fight-ing as did Barney Ross in his last New York appearance, when he lost the welterweight crown to Henry "Perpetual Motion" Armstrong in the Garden bowl. Slender Jimmy Walker, one of the nation's most gifted public speakers and father of New York state's current boxing law, emphasized em-phasized that Jewish Barney Ross revealed the earmarks of a hero that night, five years ago, when he refused to let the referee stop his losing battle with Armstrong when a knockout seemed inevit able. Ross, one of the outstanding individual heroes of the current war because of his amazing display dis-play of courage in killing 22 Japs at Guadalcanal, was presented with the New York Boxing Writers' Writ-ers' man-of-the-year award and a citation by the Red Cross. Then Italian Mauriello went out and made a game stand against Negro Bivins like Ross did against Negro Armstrong five years ago.
