From these garnet, the Cub teams have managed to survive just one game losing eight. Every one knows that Jim-my Gilbert has turned out some high class quintets, and yet he has had only one victory in nine Jn out-of-c- it competition. This is a good example of the competition we will encounter, but our baske-teer- s have always been good and there is no reason why we should take a back seat in the "Big Six" As for baseball, track and ten-nis, the teams of past years prove that these Cub outfits can stand toe to toe and slug it out with any school in the state. Although there are a few dis advantages in forming the "Big Six," most people will agree that they are over-shadow- ed by a great many more advantages. Well here it is, sports enthu-siasts. We have what athletes of city schools have dreamed of for many years. We are finally back in state competition. The coaches and principals of Region Seven, which consists of the three city schools and Region Two composing Davis, Granite and Jordan schools met together and decided to combine the two regions into a Big Six league. All of us know that this move was wanted by practically every person who is interested or as-sociated with sports. We all want-ed it and now that it is here we can see many disadvantages of this plan. This league is great as far as the varsity teams are con-cerned but it puts a crimp on the B and C teams because these fel-lows are either too small or in-experienced to play on the "A" scjuatt The juniors who' are good enough can play 'A' basketball. The city Midgets .will have a league all their own. v ,. ; This is really-- a good move but Davis, Granite, and Jordan, are not in favor of a Midget league. On the other hand think of the competition which, this league will inspire. Instead of playing for the City championship, the teams will be but fighting for the state crown and all the honor and glory that goes with it. The teams will play each other once, and no more. This is partic-ularly a good idea in regard to football. After playing a team once in a football game, all the plays are revealed, the element of surprise constitutes more than half the tactics used on the gridiron.

A' and fB' Hoop Teams Combined Midget League Formed IFor 'C Basketballers Y By Bruce Goates South high's basketball season got underway last Friday as the "A" tearri drew a 39 to 30 defeat from Park City high. South was the second city high school to in--, vade the Miners' court. The pre-- ! vious Friday, Park City thrashed I; the West high' five by piling tip ! 21 points to the Panther's 14. ji These .scores indicate a close con- - test when the Panthers meet the Cubs later in the season. I Wallace (Dorf) Jones turned in a good performance as center ): in the Park City-Sout- h game, be-- i) irg credited with 8 points. An-ton- ne Peterson rang up 8 pbints. '!,. His clever passing and ball handl-ing added much to the smoothness with which .the Cub aggregation preformed. Kent Peterson, famed baseball pitcher, proved to be a likely aspirant for a first string position.- - "B" center of last year, Bob Carabine scored 4 points. Juniors Tryout From the 43 potential hoop stars that turned out for the first "A" teams tryout, Coach Gilbert has selected 20 for the junior varsity. Although these boys haven't as yet been tried in actual competi-tion, there are several reasons why "Mentor Gilbert should produce a fine bunch of hoopsters. The first of .these is Bob Pyper, a lanky forward from Irving high. Bob played first tring for Irving last year. With this valuable ex-perience behind him and the con-siderable amount of improvement! . which he has made since then he ' i should be a valuable hoopster for Pat Ryan. - Secondly, , Lyle1 Koller, an out-standing athlete from Lincoln high, should be a constant scoring threat to the Cubs' opponents. The third reason is Larry Smith, from isincolh. The 6 foot A inch center should prove to be invalua-ble under the basket. This height advantage should give the "B" team a considerable advantage. "C" Outlook Mentor Tate Wardell has a fine bunch of hoopsters who should show well for themselves this sea-son. ,He has a few juniors who show plenty good as some "C" team graduates of last year.. Standing head and shoulders over all opponents in the line is Jack Greenig. He was Wardell's pick the first minute he looked at his style of ball playing. He shoots right or left and is the fastest member of the squad. Next in the forward position in Glen Davis, who will see plenty of action. Jesse Carter cinched the center post while the guards have been taken over by Gordy Milne and "Sonny" Pratt. Both boys worked together as guards last year and should produce a good combination again. Other main stringers who will see plenty of the floor game are "Army" Maturn, forward, and Grant (Spider) Woodward guard. Both boys were with the squad last year and have had enough ex-perience to push the starting five around a bit. 'A' Varsity 'B' Varsity A. Peterson f. Koler K.

Meet the Atldetes! (This is the third of articles out-lining the outstanding athletes from South high.) Among his fellow classmates, i Bob Story is recognized as one of the most colorful athletes ever to don athletic equipment here at South, and is one of the third year students. "Brains" (?), as he is knowTn to attack one of its chief offensive weapons. This season, Bob elected to try his luck with the "A" squad. As the season progressed Bob display-ed the same old fight which had, for two reasons, made him one of South'a outstanding gridders, but his small size proved to be a con-siderable disadvantage. This dis-advantage became a permanent handicap when he received a dis-located clavical during a scrim-mage. . . Bob's athletic abilities are far from being limited to football. In fact, Bob prefers basketball. To put it in Bob's own words, "There is something about a baseball diamond that no other sport has." During his junior year Bob led the league in batting. His average was around 400. The pitcher-catch- er combination, Bob Story and Kent Peterson, was largely responsible for our baseball victory last year. We hope that these "bits of ban-ter" have made you more acquaint-ed with Bob and we know that you join with us in congratulating him and wishing him success in his future athletic endeavors. .!;: 1 - 5 - c 1 y ?
