All-West Quint
For 1945 Picked
By United Press
By Walter Byers
(United Pr Staff Correspondent)
Chicago, March 1 U Four vet
erans and a sensational newcomer
make up the United Press' 1945
" All-Western conference basketball
team.
Selected by the nine conference
coaches, this year's all-first team
is composed of two Ohio State
players and one each from Iowa,
Illinois and Northwestern.
Walt (Junior) Kirk, Illinois'
brilliant veteran who was a first
team member of the United Press'
1944 All-Conference team, was the
only player awarded a unani
v mous position by the coaches this
year. The only other first team
repeater from a year ago is Don
Grate, Ohio State's great forward.
Team Completed
Arnold (Stilts) Risen of Ohio
State at center, Max Morris, of
Northwestern, . at forward and
Herb Wilkinson, of Iowa, at guard
complete the team. Clayton Wil
kinson, of Iowa, and Clarence
Hermsen, of Minnesota, were the
next best vote getters. Both re
ceived their recognition at center,
and they shared the pivot posi-
tion on the second team.
The first five is a veteran crew.
All are two or three-year regu
lars with the exception of Morris,
the only newcomer, and their av
erage height is more than 6-feet,
3-inches.
Morris,, 190-pound, 6-foot, 2-inch
center, grabed his berth in sensa-
tional style. During 12 confer
ence games, he scored 189 points
to clinch the Big Ten champion
ship. Although he played center
throughout the season, the seven
coaches who voted him a first
place post listed him as a forward.
Gets 116 Points
Pairing with Morris at forward
is Grate, who scored 116 points
through the conference campaign.
When Grate was going the Buck
eyes were practically unbeatable,
but when he slumped so did the
Buckeyes, who finished the sea
son with 10 conference victories
. in 12 games. Grate made the U.P.'s
All-First team last year at guard;
' He received seven out of the pos
sible nine votes.
Risen, 6-foot, 8-inch center, also
playing his second year at Ohio
State, scored 159 points to lead
Ohio State scorers. A good re
bounder, and a fine competitor,
Stilts beat out Wilkinson by a six
to two count of first team votes.
Is High Scorer
There was no doubt of Kirk's
ability in the minds of the coaches.
Scoring an average of 12.2 points
per game, the three-year Illinois
veteran was the driving force be
hind the young Illini. His coach,
Doug Mills, rates Kirk as the best
guard in the country.
At the other guard position is
the younger half of Iowa's famed
brother act. Herb Wilkinson, star

Coasting Along in
By James A. Mctean
(United Frew Staff Correspondent)
Honolulu, March 1 ip Cmdr.
Jack Dempsey,. almost obscured
jy the smoke screen from a pudgy
cigar, let it be known today that
he doesn't want to be involved in
another Dempsey-Tunney bout on
the evils of the tobacco habit.
. The former heavyweight cham
pion and coast guard officer, who
stopped here en route to the south
west Pacific, enjoys the weed and
thinks it is up to service men
themselves whether they should
smoke.
Cmdr. Gene Tunney of the navy,
who -.succeeded him as heavy
weight king, defeating him twice,
has insisted that service men
shouldn't smoke because it keeps
them from being in top condition.
"Personally, I think it is up to
the individual to decide whether
he should smoke," Dempsey said.
He agreed with Tunney, however,
that use of tobacco cut down wind
and stamina.
Dempsey made the stopover
here to observe at first hand, the
results of the coast guard athletic
training program over which he is
of Utah's 1944 N.C.A.A. champi
ons, was given five first team
votes. This 6-foot, 4-inch veteran
was nominated as the player who
has held Iowa together during its
drive to 16 victories in 17 games.

supervisor. It is his first visit to
the Pacific theater although he
made a two month tour of the
battle fronts in France.
He told service men that as a
restaurant and night club owner
in New York he believed the new
nationwide midnight curfew law
was necessary to help bring the
war to a quick conclusion.
"And even though my own res
taurant in New York goes into
the red, my partner, Max Wax
man, will just have to grin and
bear it," he said.
Dempsey said that thousands of
coast guard personnel, graduates
of his training program, had re
ported that they found their com
bat training had made them supe
rior to the Japanese with their
vaunted Judo training in hand to
hand battles.
"Americans are generally hus
kier, anyway, and they have more
fighting 'savvy' than the Japs," he
said. "I can recall only one Jap
boxer who was any good In the
United States and he was half
American."
Dempsey said he probably
wouia extend nis trip to India and
China before returning to the
urmea states.

Champaign, III., March 1 (in
Coach Doug Mills gathered up the
pieces today and tried to patch
