Oregon State, third place in the Conference, won two places and U.CL.A, University of Washington, and University of Santa Clara, one each.

On the second unit of this two-unit all-star squad. Idaho, St. Mary's, Stanford and University of San Francisco placed star players, Stanford getting two positions and the others one each The remarkable factor about this year's voting was the unanimity of selection of the first team members.
