1571115 ERIE! El 172 Pages, 6 Sections 11th Yearg Since 1968 Sunday, Ji ACTI ITIE Lutheran Players Named To All-Star Teams Dave Leuthy of Martin Luther and Marty Kohlwey of Milwaukee Lu! hcrun have boon selected as :ill- conference buskcthzill players in the Midwest Prep and Metro con- ferences. Leuthy, a 6-6 center for the Spar- tans, was chosen to the Midwest Prep first team. He is a member of Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church and a senior at Martin Luther. Spartan coach Al Koepke said, Dave definitely carried the team in rebounding and scoring. He's a good leader, and probably our of- fense kept him even a little below his potential. Leuthy averaged 14.4 points and 9.8 rebounds to lead the Spartans this year. Probably his best game came in the opening round of the State Regional against Wiscorlsin Lutheran. In what was expected to be a tough battle of two big men, Leuthy complletley dominated Wisconsin ,Lutheran's center, finishing with 31 points. though the 36 Activities Spartans lost the game, 82-67. Leuthy has made no definite plans for college yet, but plans to major in electrical engineering. Among his possibilities he men- tioned Valparaiso University. His coach said, He can make just about any team he wants to. Dave's not just thinking all basket- ball, though. Number one is educa- tion, engineering. Both Leuthy and Kohlwey will get a chance to attract some col- artin Luther Dean 0f Students Fortunate Winner lege coaches in the annual Easter Seals North-South Benefit All-Star game on April 7. Gene Schneider, dean of students at Martin Luther High School, at- tended a Milwaukee Does basket- ball game in December because a family friend asked him and his daughter as guests, but that after- noon game was not the only gift he received that day. At a half-time drawing for various gifts, his name was drawn for the use of a 1979 Continental Mark V for one year! Gene says they really did not watch much of the second half of the. game, eagerly anticipating picking up the car and driving it away after the game. The dark red and white car, which has been purchased by one of the financial backers of the Does team, will be in the possession of the Schneider family until December or 1979. ?Vtf K yi .jill
