Show Cub fB' Finishes Disappointing Basketball Season By "Jake" Dalebout The Cub juniors finished a rather disappointing season by giving giv-ing a fine exhibition of the power of their quintet in the final game with the potent East high team. The Cubs led until the closing minutes of the contest and then the hilltoppers bombarded the hoop to take the hardest fought game of the year from a heartbroken heart-broken South team. This game was typical of all the "B" team encounters. Most games were lost by more than two or three points. West Wins South was first beaten by West juniors 25-22. East then bowled over the hapless Cubs to the tune of 36-19. Again South came back, determined to break into the win column with a win over West, but were turned away again, by the disappointing score of 22-20. Then came the game all the fel-los fel-los wanted and were ready to win. They at last saw their dream come true because the Cubs were leading all the way until shortly before the final gun. Then the Leopards, after three of South's key men ousted from the game on fouls, found the range and put on a last minute scoring spree which netted them the game. Many Fouls Called Most fans believe, however, that too many fouls wTere called on the Cubs. There were nearly twenty, i This is not an excuse because our fellows don't need one, they gave I a good account of themselves. The 1 Leopards can verify that. Morris Kjar lead the team in the scoring department. He had a total of 25 points. Anthon (Pete) Peterson kept the team scrapping at all times. His cool-headed floor play was invaluable to the team. Grant (Mac) Jenkins couldn't miss from way out and Reed (T.B.) Keddington controlled both backboards back-boards as well as intercepting many passes. Wallace (Dorf) Jones was superb in the final game with his "swishers" from the corners. Reid Schofield and Bob Carabine played a fine brand of ball while they were in. |
