Show pa,ge 4 SOUTH HIGH SCRIBE . Tuesday, June 6, 1944 : Outstanding Cub Athletes Honored. . . . """" Jerry Dalebout Selected As All-Arou- nd In past years in the final is-sue of the Scribe the various sports staffs have picked the outstanding athlete in each sport. The present sports staff has gone one step farther. An outstanding athlete of the school and the outstanding junior ath-lete was picked by a point sys-tem that the staff worked out that would be fair to all en-volv- Jerry Dalebout is the outstand-ing athlete of the school. Lyle Koller will represent the junior class as the honoi-e- d athlete. Foot-ball honors go to Neal Adams and Bill Angelus. Lou Dods was un-doubtedly the outstanding tennis played. Bob Story and Don Brew-er take over the baseball honors. You may wonder why track and basketball is not represented in the list. It was the opinion of the staff that there was not an out-standing athlete on these teams. If the readers will study the point system they will discover that the athlete who participated on the varsity teams got the most points. Therefore "C" and "B" team members of football and bas-ketball don't have much of a chance to became the outstanding athlete. JERRY DALEBOUT ATHLETE OP THE YEAR Jerry surpassed all other seniors this year in the athletic depart-ment. His being selected on the Scribe honor football and baseball team gave him the advantage over all other seniors. This outstanding athlete was captain of the base-ball team. Students may wonder Why the baseball team members are given so many points in the point system. Any winning team such as South High's baseball team should be rated above the other athletic teams. "Jake" is a third year student at South. He has been the mainstay on all the teams that he has participated. Dalebout has the intestinal forti-tude to make good in the sports world. His willingness to learn and to improve will certainly lead him to great heights of fame in the sport world. LYLE ROLLER HONORED JUNIOR ATHLETE Jerry Dalebout (center) garners the outstanding athlete award. Don Brewer (upper left) and Bob Story (.upper right) tied for baseball honors. Lyle Koller (center left) is the outstanding junior athlete. Lou Dods, (center right) is the outstanding tennis player. Bill Angelus (lower left) and Neal Adams (lower right) tied for football honors. There was not an outstanding athlete on the track and basketball teams. i to South again next year. Pat Ryan should be able to work some-thing out of these boys. LOU DODS TENNIS Dods, who held down the No. 1 singles choice this spring beat both East and West's No. 1 singles pick. It wasn't until the Regional finals that Lou got beat. Bobby Kock, sensational netter of East gave Dods the quick brushoff. Kock is one of the best in the state. Lou is still best here at South. Koller is the finest athlete that has hit South High school in many moons. He is slated to surpass this year's junior record next year. He has earned four awards on the athletic teams. This alone should net him the junior athlete of the year. Koller captained and starred on the "B" football team. Nearly all of South high school heard of his long touchdown run against West last fall. South students saw this dynamite hit the loop for twd points several times in basketball games. With no practice at all Koller placed fifth in the shotput How They Were Picked POINT SYSTEM FOR ALL TEAMS s S ja ea - C pO i: a &0) j2 x 2 2 2 2 S w 5 Being on a Team 2 112113 22 Earning a Letter 3 22322433 Being on First Team . 4 3 3 4 3 3 5....

Story has been found be-hind the plate in the spring for the past three years. Story is the best prep receiver in the state and he should go places in his base-ball career. Brewer and Story were the big guns at the plate for the Cubs. Both boys are excellent hitters. Brewer is an excellent fielder. His spectacular catches In the semi-fin- al games at Brigham proved what an excellent fielder he is. Honorable Mention Honorable mention should be given to the top ten athletes on the bottom of this page. Kent Pet-erson headlines the honorable men-tion choice. He held down the starting berth on the football, bas-ketball and baseball teams. Peter-son hasn't been any star except in; the final game of the baseball season, but that wasn't enough to net himself as the outstanding-- ath-lete. Other outstanding athletes at the Utah Stadium im the Reg.-ion- al Track Meet. City and South high fans know him for his long triples on the baseball team. Rol-ler is certainly an outstanding athlete. There was much debate whether he should have been the outstanding athlete of the year. He is headed for even greater achieve-ments next year. Good luck to you, Lyle, in your athletic endeavors next year. NEAL ADAMS FOOTBALL BILL ANGELUS FOOTBALL These two grid stars were cer-tainly making trouble for all op-ponents last fall. Critics through-out the state rate Adams as one of the best ball carriers ever. His long punt returns were spectacu-lar. Adams is a dream backfield man. He punts, passes and is as shifty as any prep back in the state. Angeles is one of those de-si- ve gridders who make opposing coaches go grey. Opposing block-ers can never knock this dynamo down and ,he tackles so hard that ball carriers try to avoid this hard driving tackier. But no matter who the ball carrier is Bill Ange-lus always brings his down. Adams and Angelus are both coming back who received nine or more points, according to the point system, are Bob Carabine, Grant Woodward, Walt Gehrke and Dick Powers. Carabine is a three letter man. He was headed as the outstanding track star, but his illness before the State TRACK MEET hindered his chances. Woodward is another athlete who has received three let-ters. Gehrke and Powers both re-ceived two letters. Scribe SPORT SCOPE By Grant Woodward In the final issue of the Scribe on the sports page it is customary to discuss the past seasons. War conditions have made South high's athletic c o n di- - tions drop from past years. All high schools in. the state have been hurt from the war, but most athletes in high school are below 18 years of age. What may be said of this story is just pure fact ana it is not Grant Woodwardmeant 1to lk all over athletes and coaches. It is merely stating where the axhletes and coaches have failed and what they can do to better themselves). Remember, this is not the opin-ion of the Scribe Sports staff alone but is a census of oponion among the students, athletes and coaches. Two years ago South high school took three of the five sports among the city schools. They were bas-ketball, baseball and track in chat order. East high took one ana tied with West in one. Last year South took two sports , baseball and track. This year everyone knows what sports South has been vie- - . torious in. Yes, baseball. The baseball team and Jimmy Gilbert should be praised highly for their championship. It has been the opinion of the athletes, coaches and students that the athletes of South this year have been too much on the "BIG BOY" side. By that it is to mean that certain athletics have wanted to be the "one man team." Pat Ryan had the best prospects in many years in the fall sport. If the "A" football gridders had bucklers down instead of fighting among themselves who was going to be the "star" everything could have turned out a lot better. It is not being said that South high "A" team of football could have stopped the powerful East high team, but it is certain that the "A" footballers could have made a better showinf. The "C" football team went undefeated be-cause they were fighting together. runiie nrin aieaiu me1t one i . i j. ueieai, uui they were green juniors ana there isn't a football player in tne school who wasn't scared when they first met East high's team. Every student in the school knows what the South high basket-ball team did in the winter. Not a game was won in league competi-tion. They finished last. It is true that all Coach Gilbert had to work with was one junior squad of the year before. Gilbert has built his team around third years, in prev-ious seasons but that is no excuse. East hight's basketball team con-sisted of their junior squad of the year before. South high juniors almost beat them last year. It wasn't until the last few seconds of play that East beat the juniors. This year the two teams met again. Almost the same lineup. What happened ? East- - high walked all over the poor kids. So did every team in the Big Six. Why? Be-cause there wasn't the unity among the players. In nearly ev-ery game South high matched point for point against their op-ponents, but shortly after the first half was over South high gave up. Some one on the team who they didn't like had scored too many points. They weren't going to pass the basketball to him any-more. Let someone else make the points. "It was an eye for eye and a tooth for a tooth spirit that prevailed among the boys." If a team doesn't go into a ball game with the spirit of victory in their hearts then there is no need of bringing up a schedule for the boys to just play for fun. It is true that in hig-- schools the coaches don't need a winning team every few years to keep their jobs, but just the same it is no fun losing continually. |
