IPA ALL-STARS ANNOUNCED, GAME WED IN SOUTHPORT
Because of the two-month boycott by many of the IPA stars, the 2045 All-Star Classic is missing many of the game's superstars and mainstays. The boycott has open the door for some new blood on the All-Star squads. The Midsummer Classic is scheduled for this Wednesday afternoon at Pleasure Beach Park in Southport, the home of the defending Pro Cup champion.

The Rocky Rapids Snappers lead all comers with four players on the Ruthlandian Stars, Cold Creek and Middlefield of the RU have three apiece and San Alejo tops the Tycobbian Stars with three selections.

Bobby Gamble and Jojo DeLucca will be leading the RU Stars. This is Gamble's 10th year to play in the classic and DeLucca is making his eighth appearance. Heading up the TU Stars is 12-time All-Star Jack Culpeppr. This season C. C. Kingsford and Filipe Zamora are on the squad for the sixth time in their careers. It's the fifth year for Jayson Hallstrom and fourth appearance for Darwin Tard and Guido Geravasio. No rookies made the teams this season. There are 15 first timers on the Ruthlandian Stars and 14 for Tycobbia.
