True Will Sponsor
All-American Team
True, the Man’s Magazine, will
sponsor the selection of an All-
American Basketball Team for this
year. All collegiate basketball
coaches and leading basketball
writers are being invited to parti
cipate in the selection. These True
All-Americans, outstanding court
performers of the 1945-46 hoop
season, will be classified into first,
second and third teams.
The editors of True, after a care
ful survey of the previous ways
and means used in selecting leading
players for an All-American bas
ketball team, feel positive that the
method they plan to use will be
fool-proof. These acknowledged
authorities, both coaches and wri
ters, see all the leading major
and minor games during a basket
ball season and their evaluation of
the leading players should give a
satisfactory and comprehensive list
of the season’s court luminaries.
These selections will take into
consideration the merits of all
players from colleges and univer
sities of both small and large en
rollment. By virtue of the fact
that so many coaches are in
volved in the poll and that basket
ball is so intersectional, the vari
ous coaches and writers have the
opportunity to witness, view, judge
and compare the play and abilities
of players in all the basketball
areas of the country.
At the end of the basketball sea
son, Fawcett Publications will pre
sent awards to these True All-
Americans at a sports dinner in
New York City. It is believed by
the editors that more than 3000
ballots will be cast by coaches and
writers. All ballots will be held
confidential by the editors and the
correct tabuation will be super
vised by a certified public account
ant.

Nicaragua, largest of the Cen
tral American republics, lies mid
way of Central America bounded
on the north by Honduras, on the
east by the Caribbean Sea, and on
the west and soutnwest by the
Pacific Ocean.
With an approximate area of
51,700 square miles, and a popu
lation of almost a million and a
half, Nicaragua is traversed by two
mountain ranges causing her to
have a diversified climate, and a
variety of products.
Touches* Two Seas
Healthy plateaus and uplands of
place at the top of the Intramural
list with a 19-9 victory over C
Troop. The B Company Basketball
team, really burned up the court.
Rippetoe, Strang, Calhoun, and
Brawley acoounted for most of
the winning goals, and Scotte and
Murrey did the shooting for C
Troop.
C Troop came out of the hole
with a 27-10 victory over B Bat
tery. Murrey really did some fancy
shooting, piling up 16 of C Troop’s
27 points.
Football
B Company, F Company and A
Troop hold the distinction of being
the only undefeated football teams
on the campus. B Company has a
tally of three games on its list, and
the other two outfits have two
apiece.
In League A D Troop and H
Company played to a scoreless tie,
with D Troop winning on penetra
tions. A Battery skimmed past D
Troop by one conversion in their
13- 12 game last week and H Com
pany doubled the score on the In
fantry Band to win by a 14-7 score.
B Company added another scalp
to its growing string of victories
with a 13-7 victory over D Com
pany. B Battery followed through
on D Company’s hard luck streak,
and beat them 12-0 in the second
loop game of the week. B Com
pany held possession of the field
for the second time in a week, de
feating the Artillery Band, 7-0. B
Company really look like it’s head
ed for the football championship.

very fertile soils, lowlands of tro
pical character, and mountain rang
es of volcanic activity divide Nica
ragua into several geographic re
gions. The Pacific coastland which
is of volcanic nature holds the
majority of Nicaragua’s population.
Here are grown such products as
sugar cane, pineapples and plan
tains, and here large herds of cat
tle are found. The eastern coast,
bathed by the Caribbean Sea and
made up of alluvial plains of tro
pical nature, is one of most valuable
regions of Nicaragua. Here the
bananas are found as well as plan
tations of rubber trees, fruit, in
dustry, mines, and such forest pro
ducts of great value as cedar, que
bracho, mahogany and quinine. The
Central Uplands, a rich and fertile
region, produces Nicaragua’s money
crop—coffee. Also untouched treas
ures in forest and mines lie in this
region, undeveloped and awaiting
the touch of man to become one of
the richest regions of Nicaragua.
Climate is Diversified
There is a diversity of climate
due to the mountain ranges that
traverse Nicaragua. On the west
ern coast, due to the volcanic na-

ture of the mountains, the climate
that predominates is oppressive,
yet the largest concentration of
population is found here. In the in
terior the climate is healthy and
invigorating and life is pleasant.
On the eastern coast, due to the
breezes that blow from the Carib
bean Sea, the temperature is cool
during the night and warm during
the day-time.
People Are Spanish-Indian
Seventy-five per cent of Nicara
gua’s population live on the west
ern coast despite the insecurity
and oppressive climate of that area.
They prefer this section of the
country due to its facilities in
means of communication and trans
portation. They are a race of people
composed mainly of a mixture of
Spanish and Indian blood. Spanish
is the country’s predominating lan
guage.
Extensive Natural Resources
* Coffee is the chief crop of Nica-
ragtya. Hers is considered one of
the chest coffees in the world, and
ranks twelfth in world production.
Bananas follow in importance with
rubber, coconuts, sugar and hides.
Ranking second to Honduras in
mineral wealth, Nicaragua has un
told rich mines of such minerals
as gold, silver, iron, lead, salt, cop
per, mercury and sulfur.
Managua, the capital of Nicara
gua is a beautiful city where the
old mingles with the new. There is
contrast and beauty in this city,
which has a population of about
sixty thousand inhabitants. It is
located on the western coast ^long
with the most important cities of
this country.
Leon, another of Nicaragua’s
charming cities, runs second in im
portance. From the roof of the
cathedral of St. Peter can be view
ed the scene of thirteen volcanoes.
Other cities of importance are
Chinandega Matagalpa, the largest
city in the interior, and Granada.
Education is Well Developed
Education is free and compul
sory. Leon, Granada and Managua
are the sites of Nicaragua’s high
seat of learning—the universities
and colleges. Law and Medicine are
the outstanding courses offered by
the universities. Two normal
schools and eight colleges located
at Managua compose the rest of the
educational system of Nicaragua.
The system of transportation is
well developed in the western
coast where the majority of the
population lives.
