Eight members of the Indiana All-Stars will be selected by popular vote of radio and sports writers, two from each of the semifinal districts, and the other two will be selected by the Hoosier coach yet to be named.

BOWLING KY. DEAR BLONDIE: Coach Diddle' just handed me a copy of The Indianapolis Star showing that you are getting the "ball" rolling for the All-Star game In June. We are looking forward with a great deal of interest to bringing another good team to Indianapolis. We are very much in favor of the improvements that you are making. I think both clubs will be able to show a little better basketball with eight days Instead of five to practice.

In checking the history of the games, I notice that you have the score 40 to 31 in favor of Ihe 1940 Indiana All-Stars. I wish you would check that, Blondie, and let me know If that is correct, because, as I remember it that score should have been 31. to 29 Instead of 40 to 31. That was the year we had a 12-point lead al the beginning of the fourth quarter and lost the ball game. Kulks was on the ball club and got the Star of Stars award.
