Recently True magazine announced its all-American selections for the 1947 season. They were as follows:
First team-Andy Phillip of Illinois and Gerald Tucker of Oklahoma at forwards, Ralph Beard of Kentucky, and Sidney Tanenbaum of New York university at guards, and Alex Groza of Kentucky, at center.
Second team—Bob Cook of Wisconsin and Jack Tingle of Kentucky at forwards, John Dillon of North Carolina and Dick McGuire of St. John's at guards, and Tony Lavelli of Yale at center.
Third team—John Hargis of Texas and Ralph Hamilton of Indiana at forwards, Kevin O'Shea of Notre Dame and Arnold Ferrin of Utah at guards, and Don Barksdale of U.C.L.A. at center.
These teams were chosen by the National Association of Basketball Coaches and a selected panel of basketball experts that drafted basketballs districts of the country.
No all-star selection ever satisfied anyone, but True magazine left itself open for more than the usual criticism by the writereps which they gave the players who made the first team. These writereps should justify the choices instead of raising doubts.
As the prime example of poor judgment, we can take the case of Andy Phillip. Phillip was terrific back in 1943, but he failed to live up to pre-war standards in the Big Nine this year.
It will be remembered that the former leading Whiz Kid did not even place on the first or second all-conference teams chosen in the Big Ten, and made the second team to give the Blini their only representation.
This is True magazine's writeup on Phillip:
"Big Nine all-time scoring king returns to coaches" All-American team after three years in service. Leader of Illinois' Whiz Kids when they captured 25 out of 27 games over two-year period to cop consecutive Big Nine titles. Phillip is catlike in action, out jumping men several inches taller in retrieving Big Nine shooting records. 1943 four individual marks—most points in the game, later broken by Ivens of Iowa; most points in one season, 255; most goals in one game; and most goals in one season. Sensational ball snatcher when playing defense."
Nowhere in this entire paragraph does there appear a reference to the season just completed. Apparently Anthony Phillip made all-American in 1947 on the basis of what he did in 1943.
Entomology Club Takes New Members
It is also interesting to note that Jack Tingle of Kentucky is listed on the second five. Tingle received several all-star nominations last season, only been the first substitute for the previous season. Once again it looks as if reputation from a previous season counted too heavily.
Seven new members were vote into the Entomology club Tuesday
They are Mrs. Ruth Belt, Juliette Williams, College freshmen; Betty Ann Boling, Elinor Frye, Patty Nordeen, sophomores; Margaret Gruenthal, Patricia Fleming, Education juniors.
Members must have a C grade average and have shown a definite interest.

Pre-War Stars To Be Plentiful At This Year's Kansas Relays
With bigger and better pre-war stars flooding every track team in the nation, Kansas Relays' followers are already counting on watching the best field in the history of the games when the 22nd running of the event takes place April 18 and 19.
The expected entry list includes such stars as Charlie Parker, Texas'
The expected entry list mensesational spinter; Fortune Gordien, Minnesota's great weight hoister; Bobby Ginn, Big Six mile champ; and Bill Martinson, Baylor's dash man who recently broke Parker's string of victories in the 100-yard dash.
Today's aces will have to flash top form, however, to match the standard erected by past Relays performers. Starting with the decathlon, a feature which is included in only one other major track meet, and extending through the regular season, is University classic has drawn most of the nation's top aces during the last 20 years.
Tolan Won Crown
Tolan, who won both the 100 and 200 meter Olympic crowns for the United States in 1932, finished third in the 100-yard dash here in 1930 when Texas Christian's Cy Leland set a record of :09.4.
Gordon set the present Relay broad jump record of 25 feet $4\%$ inches in 1931, a mark that has stood for 12 years. No other broad jumper in the history of the meet has nicked 25 feet since Gordon's lean
Francis, current Kansas State football coach, lofted the shot put 49 feet 2 inches in 1936 to win the title here. He returned a year later and set a record of 51 feet 6 inches. Kansas State's great Elmer Hackney set the present record at 52 feet $ _{1/2} $ inches.
Olympic Men in Past Meets
A long list of United States Olympic stars have participated in the Kansas Relays. The meet has produced the last two world's decathlon kings, Glen Morris, Denver Athletic club, in 1936, and Jim Bausch, sometimes called the greatest athlete in Kansas history, in 1932.
Others on the Olympic list include Kansas' own Glenn Cunningham, who ran in both the 1932 and 1936 games; Eddie Tolan and Ralph Metcalf, the great pair of Negro sprinters who never won a Kansas Relays race; Ed Gordon, 1932 broad jump titlist; John Kueck, Emporia Normal's weight star; and Sam Francis, former Nebraska shot-putter who finished third in the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
Opponents Were Tough
Cunningham had plenty of tough opponents in the Relays—Archie San Romani, Emporia State; Gene Venske, Penn; John Fenske, Wisconsin; and Blaine and Wayne Rideout, North Texas Teachers. Other distance stars that have appeared in Indiana, the Don Lash, Chuck Hornbostel, Tommy Tempest, and Campbell Kane; Missourl Munski, Oklahoma A. and M.'s Forrest Efaw, and the late Bill Lyda of Oklahoma.
Sprinters like Red Littler of Nebraska; Clyde Jeffrey, Riverside (Cal); Junior college; and Mozelle Ellerbe, Tuskegee, have kept the 100-yard dash times around nine and one-half minutes.
One of the stars who set a Relay's mark was Freddy Wolcott. He set the current Relays record for the season at 4.2. Dillard, who died that time in front of a wind last April, is out to better it this year.
