The mythical team, chosen by votes of the teams themselves, is led by two 6-2 marvels in the persons of Bill Giles and Bill Soelberg. Giles led his Phi Delta Theta team to a first place rating in the University selections for four weeks of the season. Then they faltered before the Sigma Phi Epsilon in the final game of the Fraternity A tournament. Giles, a product of Alliance, Nebr., was fourth in Fraternity scoring: for the season with a 14.3 per fame average.

Blessing of Alpha Tau Omega, who was a unanimous selection last year, moved from his pivot spot in order that taller Bob Brown could use his height to bet ter advantage. Blessing is an other of the University's top all round men. He won the golf con test last spring, gained the AU U basketball team and AI1-U footbfell team this fall. Versatile Chick Jensen and Kenny Johnson round out the sec ond five. The third five, headed by two ATOs, Bob Brown and Dave Jones has Keith Clouse of the dubbers and Sam Bell of Sigma Chi at the forwards, Brown at the pivot, and Corky Engle and Jones at the guards. With the exception of Brown, this team is made up of mostly shooters who can hit at long range. Pat Mallette of Sigma Phi Ep silon, who played only part of the season due to an injured ankle, heads the fourth team along with the top Indenpendent scorer, La verne Torcion of the Gents. Rounding out the team are GaVy Heinzle of the Frosh Dents, Joe Carter of the Phi Delts and Fev Evans of the Ramblers. Bill Giles Courtesy Lincoln Star Giles, the Phi Delta Theta ace, is Intramural basketball's top player of the year. He is listed as a guard on the first team. gained him the most valuable player recognition for the year. Soelberg, who starred for Theta Xi, fell only one point short of tying Giles in votes. His efforts on the maples was good enough for an 18.0 average, sec ond in Fraternity and All-University scoring for the current year. The 6-2 senior from Sioux City used his side shots and hooks effectively to lead his team to the quarterfinals in the tournament thih year. , BOB PELLIGRINO, the Broad view, 111., junior, is the shorty of the team compared with the 6-2 average of the other four. Bob was the only man from the Independent leagues to crack the first five. Pelligrino led his Dubber teammates to an all victorious season and the All-University championship. Here again was an example of balance rather than the burden being carried by one man. His driving and short jump shots merited him the votes for top man in the Inde pendent loop. Fred Longacre of Theta Chi repeated on the team at his pivot apot again this year. A unani mous selection last year, he played even better this year in capturing the All University coring honor with a 23.6 aver age to fall only eight-tenths of a point below the all-time record Courtesy Lincoln Journal Bill Soelberg Soelberg, a high scoring leader for Theta Xi, holds down a for ward spot on the top quintet. Soelberg hails from Sioux City. set by Jack Telkin of the Geol igists in 1951. The junior from Schuyler, Nebr., was consistently one of the best rebounders in intra mural play. With Giles at the other guard spot is one of the top all-around athletes in the University, Bob Bachman of Phi Kappa Psi. The Grand Island senior was a unan imous selection on the All-University grid team last fall after making the second team in 1952. Last spring he landed a berth on the second team All University softball team as well as being a unanimous selection on the All U basketball team a year ago. Joining Longacre as the only re peat member of last year's se lections, Bachman led his Phi Kappa Pal teammates to a vic torious season before bowing to the Phi Gam's in the first round of the tourney. If you put the scoring averages of these champions together, you will get an 86.7 game average, a winner in anyone's league. LEADING THE second team are the Frosh Dent's Bob Boker and the Sig Eps' Dave Brandon. Baker led his team to the finals of the Independent tournament where they fell before the cham pion Dubbers. The transfer from Chadron, where he played varsity ball, accumulated a 16.9 average to cop the scoring honors of the second five. Brandon, who led his team to Pat Mallette,' NU Baseballer Hit By Mumps Coach Tony Sharpe of the Ne braska baseball squad might have lost one of his top performers for the six-game trip to the South west starting on April 7. Pat Mallette, a first baseman and one of 4the team's top pitch ers, has come down with the mumps. Trainer Paul Schneider said Mallette will be confined seven to 10 days and will prob ably miss the southern trip. Sharpe was worried that other members of his team will contact the disease and miss the impor tant pre-conference games. Bill Giles, an outfielder candidate or Larry Dunning will probably re place Mallette on the initial sack.
