Scribe Picks Year's Outstanding Athletes Five Gain Top Recognition As Cub Sportsmen the exception of one man. Dick Brower has been a thorn in the Leopard's side for the past two seasons sea-sons with his southpaw performances. perform-ances. Last year Dick was undefeated un-defeated but he has found the com. petition stiffer this year, averaging averag-ing 500 per cent for his season's efforts. His performance has been by far the most consistent. i Scribe inaugurates something new this year by naming an outstanding out-standing Cub athlete in every sport that South has participated, picking pick-ing men not on individual game performances, but rather on seasonal sea-sonal records. Scribe awards its outstanding athletes honors to the following: Carl Childs, football; Eldon Story, basketball; Kent Peterson, baseball; base-ball; .Ralph Jackson, track; and Dick Brower, tennis. These are named in their order of appearance during the school year. South's showing during the football foot-ball season is one of the best since this school has entered into city competition, and a great deal of credit goes to the A team under the capable handling of Pat Ryan.

Spring brought baseball and also the first championship to South this year. With pitching, batting and fielding better than ever, the Cub nine just couldn't miss. Southpaw South-paw Kent Peterson, rated by many as the best pitching promise since the era of Gordy Rhodes, allowed city opponents just nine hits during dur-ing the thirty innings that he pitched. pitch-ed. His mates gave him good support sup-port and Cub hitting made life miserable for Pete's mound adversary. adver-sary. South's third consecutive championship cham-pionship came in track after their decisive victory over East in the triangular meet. One man cap-s cap-s tured two firsts in that meet and came very close to tying or breaking break-ing the record in both events. You've guessed it, Ralph Jackson is that man. After outjumping the best that East and West had to offer in the high jump he proceeded pro-ceeded to run his opponents in the ground in the 880 yard run. Despite De-spite a stiff breeze that Jackson encountered, he came within 1.2 seconds of beating the city record. Tennis as usual was all East.
