Show Mighty Cub A" Swishes, Passes To Humble Wecide Crew South Quintet Hailed As One of Greatest Running rampant over their Western hosts, South Highs' "A" team won a decisive 49-27 victory, Friday at the Deseret Gym, to give warning to the confident East crew, who they play this week. The Cubs, swift moving and as smooth as many professional teams racked up an early lead, during the Panther game, and at no time were endangered by the red and black crew. Clair Empey, lanky Cub center, started the game with two field goals in quick succession and with points by North, Roberts, and Story, the Cubs roared to a first quarter lead of 13-3. West had made no field goals, i Westerners Rally In the third quarter the Panthers Pan-thers staged somewhat of a rally, led by Young and Toby Shirashi of West, but they couldn't overcome over-come the lead gained by South. Dee Lowder, Dave McLelland, Darrel Lund and Bill Grainger played briefly in the second and fourth quarters, playing on an even scale with the Panthers, and slipping thru West's weak defense almost as easily as their first string brothers. Throughout the game speedy passes and dribbling combined 'red hots', North and Roberts, high point men with 13 and 15 points respectively, and confirmed the opinion of many that South's 'A' team is the smoothest prep team in the state. Woolf Handles .Rebounds Chic Woolf, Cub guard, controlled con-trolled the backboards and took the ball away from more than one ambitious Westerner, while Eldon Story and Clair Empey accounted ac-counted for their share of the honors with 9 and 8 points each. Young and Shirashi of West played outstanding roles for the Panthers, but West could neither connect with the hoop nor could they break through South's solid defense. The Cubs are favored over East next Friday and should be the best game of the season. The Eciders look to Bob Lence, big Jim Woodward, Wood-ward, and the Lewis brothers for a high total of points. Woodward leads the league scorers, and is a dependable man on the floor. South has five great stars in first string positions, all who work in complete harmony. Add to this Coach Gilbert's fine reserve string, including Darrell Lund, Bill Granger, Gran-ger, Dick West, and many others who can just about match anything any-thing other schools in the "Big 3" dish out. |
