St. Louis, Mo., March 21 — Averaging six-feet-five and capable of scoring 75 to 80 points per game, the 1944-45 All - America Basketball team selected by The Sporting News is composed of Wynold Gray of Bowling Green, Ohio, and Howard Dallmar of Pennsylvania at forwards; George Mikan of DePaul at center, and Bob Kurland of Oklahoma A. A. M. and Arnold Ferrin of Utah at guards.
Six-foot-nine Mikan and sevenfoot Kurland were hailed as two of the outstanding players of the year. Though both are centers, they were placed on the first team because of their ability to fill any position. Mikan is a repeated, having also made The Sporting News honor five of 1943-44.
Gray has been acclaimed by all who have seen him as one of the shiftiest players in the game, with unusual scoring, as well as playmaking, ability. Dallmar, a former Stanford star, was the main reason why Penn won the Ivy League crown and almost single-handedly engineered the lone死def of Army. He is a rebound man deluxe. Ferrin, key man in Utah's drive to the mythical national title last season, was rated even a better man this year and piloted the Utes to an undefeated conference season.
On the second team are Bob Dilley of Valparaiso and Fritz Nagy of Akron at forwards, Vince Hanson of Washington State at center, and Herb Wilkinson of Iowa and Billy

A Strong Intramurals Program The announcement this morning that there will be no baseball or tennis teams representing the University will certainly release a lot of experienced performers for participation in intramural sports. In the tennis and softball tournaments coming up soon competition is sure to be rough.
Although the number of men entered in the current handball tournament is better than was originally expected, most organizations are eagerly awaiting the advent of the softball season. Competition in this lively spring sport is always spirited, and this year is certain to be no exception.

Last year, because of a lighter enrollment of male students and a late start, only eight teams were entered. Phi Gam's, Blanks, Beta's, Phi Delt's Sigma Chi, Delt's, Phi Psi's, and Battenfeld all had teams entered. The Blanks won the title, winning seven and losing no games. The other teams finished in this order: Phi Gam; Delt, Beta (tie); Battenfeld; Sigma Chi, Phi Psi (tie); Phi Delt. The Blanks then proceeded to win the play-offs, nosing out the Phi Gam's, to make a clean sweep of the season.
Aggies Are Highly Rated
The NCAA semifinals at Kansas City Friday and Saturday are beginning to edge out the state high school tournament in the basketball limelight. The tourney will see the four top collegiate teams of the West, Oregon, Oklahoma A. & M., Arkansas, and Utah. The Aggies are perhaps the most highly touted team of
f(continued from page one)
the four, rated third in the nation not so long ago. The Utah cage team will be a vastly different aggregation from the five which won so many contests this season, since Arnold Ferrin was drafted into the Army and Fred Sheffield will be left behind. The Aggies seem to be the best bet for the Western and probably the National title although the Oregonites may perhaps contest this viewpoint rather hotly.
PHOTO--ever, is presented in such a manner that the operation can be understood by viewing the posters in sequence, Mr. Johnson said.
Working with photographs taken by high speed reconnaissance planes from 50 to 35,000 feet above the enemy, navy interpreters analyze and identify objects that are mere pin-points. Identifying minefields, barbed wire, machine gun nests, and underground installations are all in the day's and night's work of navy and marine experts. Another phase of the work is watching the Japs construct defenses and airfields under the jungle growths until the proper time to strike.
From aerial photographs taken over the enemy's innermost defenses that never before have been seen or mapped by U.S. forces, the photographic interpreters can in a short time reveal what is there and what is being done. They then reconstruct the enemy's territory on models that are used to study and plan future operations.
K.U. Will Not Have Baseball or Tennis Teams This Spring
There will be no baseball or tennis teams representing K.U. this spring, Earl Falkenstein, financial secretary of the Athletic Association, announced this morning. Lack of intercollegiate competition was given by Mr. Falkenstein as the dominate reason.
Other colleges in this vicinity and in the Big Six are, not attempting to participate in most of the usual spring events, except track, and competition would have to have been with service organizations.
Last year the University tennis team was very successful, winning most of its matches, while the baseball squad lost the majority of its games. No Big Six authorized games or matches were scheduled, although the conference teams did meet each other to some extent.
