Show Cubs Romp Home With Baseball and Track Titles i i Championships Won In Final Encounters South teams this spring went "all out" for the respective "Big Three" championships and were rewarded by undisputed crowns in baseball and track, while the tennis ten-nis team gave East its first real battle in many years to place second sec-ond in that division. After dropping their first encounter en-counter to the Weciders, the Cub diamond aggregation came booming boom-ing back into the title picture by trouncing the panthers in the next game. Coach Jimmy Gilbert's clan was just getting up steam when it met East, and a rally saved the game. 17-6 Victory , But that was the end of resistance resist-ance by the Leopard crew. South took the final game last Tuesday by drubbing their hilltop rivals unmercifully un-mercifully for a decisive 17-6 victory vic-tory behind the stellar pitching of MacCoy McMurray, who was relieved re-lieved by southpaw Kent Peterson late in the game. The entire baseball team this year has done fine work. Stewart, Northrup, and Davis with their big bats; relief pitchers Gerald Wolfe, Jack Wigren, and Gus Funtus; in-fielders in-fielders Earl, Dalebout, and North, upheld by utility man Hal Scott. Also on the credit list are Bob Story and Vernon Sceili, catchers, and Dick Lawrence, outfielder. Tracksters Retain Title In the track program, the thin-clads thin-clads from South have shown brightest. The trackmen took both dual meets, and then went on to cop the triangular meet with East coming in second and finally the Panthers. Cale Cotten has been one of the brightest spots on the team this year. New Record Set Pacemakers Jack Lowder, Stan Kilbourne, and Dave McLelland went places in the dashes and relays re-lays this year. Jack's good exhibitions ex-hibitions were climaxed by a new record in the 220, while Stan has won several races this year and made the Lowder-Kilbourne combination com-bination a dreaded duo. McLelland is pointing toward another evenj more successful year on the squad. Others on the squad, Husky Ray Adamson, Reed Johnson, Ralph Jackson, Virgil Van Cott, Grant Kelly, and the always dependable Lawrence Palmer have turned in wins on almost every occasion. Others on the squad who piled up seconds and thirds are too numerous numer-ous to mention. |
