Looking forward to a successful season is Pat Ryans A team who after two weeks of intensive drills and scrimmages looks like a strong contender for East high's mighty A team. Friday's kickoff is set for 3.30 on the West field with South being the slight favorite but no one can really tell how the outcome will be when neither team has much look-ing over. Mentor Ryan built his squad around four two-ye- ar letter men. Lou Dodds regular quarterback on last year's squad will take the same spotlight with much depend-ing on him. Kent Peterson, well known for his mound chucking should be the man to watch. He passes as well as he pitches and will carry much of the pigskin from his wingback spot. He iis aiso slated to Jo the team's punt-ing as well as Neil Adams, last year's B team star. Bob Story, C team fullback on the C last year seems to be Ryan's choice. He is the smallest backfield man Ryan has but should show up well at the fullback post. He is also a dangerous right-hande- d passer. Jerry Dalebout, another football-er who has had two years exper-ience at center, seems to be Ryan's choice for that spot. He stared on the "C" squad last year and has gained considerable weight. The Cub line seems to be quite heavy but the lack of experience is needed except Dalebout. All boys are well over 160 pounds. At ends, three boys are fight-ing it out. All three have had one year of football under their belts with the "B" team last year. Bob Carabine, Reid Keddington and Morris Kjar. Kjar and Kedding-ton seem to be the likeable starters, but Keddington received his draft papers recently so no one knows how this spot wilr work out. If anyone of you students know anything about the "A" team, you will know that Coach Ryan isn't worrying about the tackle spot. On most teams this spot is weak, but not this season. Don Brewer, 180 pound lad from California is the gridder to watch. He is rather bashful in the halls but watch him on the field. LeMar Nagel, 175 pounds, Dexter McGarry 190 pounds ' and Bruce Hintze, 160 pounds, are other aspirants for the tackle post. Brewer and Nagel seem to be the choice but much is expected of the other two. Guard prospects are also bright. Bill Angeles, all-ci- ty on the "B" eleven and Darell Long and Reed Schofield are all sure to see plen-ty of action. As we said before, Dalebout should hold down the pivot spot but Howard Richardsen is pushing him for the position. Richardson is the heaviest ' of the two but Dalebout has had the needed experience to put him over the top. Three lads have been mentioned as Ryan's choice in the backfield by their experience but Neil Ad-ams, tailback, kicker, passer, and ball carrier will be on the start-ing eleven. Adams has shown well in scrimmages. He played excel-lent football on the "B" team last year. Four Reasons to Smile ' B Coach Pat Ryan, kneeling, smiles while giving plays to four experienced seniors, left to right. Jerry Dalebout, Bob Storey, Kent Peterson and Lou Podds. B, Q Gridder Outlook Bright B Team Molding gr,ean juniors into a successful squad is tough, but Jim-my Gilbert eleven shows promise for a successful season. Gilbert has the largest team he has ever had. Many of the juniors tip the scales at 200 pounds. Be sides size, he has power and speed, which all figure in the success of his team this seaon. At center he has D. Taylor, W Jepson, C. Kleven, J. Thompson, all trying out. The guards are: T. Klebe, G Stensrud, A. Anderson, D. Egbert, and R. Franklin.' H. Hardcastle, S. Cackrell, J. Klebe, D. Penman, P. Curtis, and D. Soattaff, all heavy boys are pushing each other for tackle po-sition. The ends are: B. Middlemiss, T. Elders, B. Goates, G. Powell, and L. Smith. However, none have shown well enough for starting po-sitions. The quarterbacks consist of W. Nielson, C. Cox, and T. Yssilanis. The fullbacks are D. Butcher and J. Grissitte. This is one posi-tion that Gilbert's gridders are The halfbacks are L, Koller, D. Notzlens, G. Walkenshaw, R. Of-fu- tt, H. Hill, D. Wagstaff, and D. Donelson. C Team Tate Wavdell, mentor of the "C" team sees a hopeful season ahead for his midgets. The "C" team will open the sea-son against West Thursday. Al-though the midgets have had only two weeks of practice and haven't had any practice games they should come through with flying colors. As yet there has not been a def-inite first string picked, but some of the outstanding aspirants are: Walter Gerkhe for quarterback. He gained valuable experience on last year's squad. Jerry Christensen seems to be a likable second. Bill Lubin, Owen Wright, and Bill Bryan are all fighting for the full-back post. Wright seems to be the choice for the offense, but Lubin is one swell girder to have backing up the line. Halfbacks are plentiful, Marion Gregery and Bob Sidwell seems to have a starting berth. Line positions are strong except for tackle. Stan Fivas and Kent Herman are the only griders who show promise. Wardell may move either Wright or Lubin to the spot where they are needed. Ends, Reed Howick, Stevenson, Bob Dell, Ken Renshaw, Dick Powers and Jack Bale are all strong aspirants. How. ick is the only one positive of a starting job. Bill Dubell and Earl Johnson bolster the squad consider-ably. Both boys have had a year experience. The pivot spot is weak but something should be worked out between Joe Anderson, Grant "Spider" Woodward and "Hedgy" Hedgepath. Scribes List Changes in Gridiron Rules Here's some interesting facts about the difference between high school and college football rules Most fans think football is foot-ball no matter where it is played. For instance, here's something that can and will happen in high school prep games. 1. A field goal can be scored on the , kickoff. 2. Two or more forward passes can be thrown on the same play. 3. Passes can be thrown from anywhere back of the line of scrim-mage. 4. A kickoff which rolls out of bounds is put in play on the 40 yard yard line. 5. No kicked ball that goes over the ,gal line untouched can be run out. The ball is dead when it crosses the goal line. 6. No penalty can be executed no more than half the distance to the goal line. Grant Woodward The Scribe SPORTS SCOPE By ' . ,Vv 'V Jerry Dalebout In the junior issue of the Scribe in this column we discussed the coaching system in the Big Three. If you'll remember we stated that there would be several changes in the high schools coaching staffs. Well here's evidence to back us up. In our own school for Instance, Nate Long, the best coach in the city schools with an unbeatable record was suddenly taken by Uncle Sam. East high school lost Marvin Pugh and Harold Johnson to the armed forces. Pugh also has a fine record for his coaching en-deavors. The board of Education was quite successful in obtaining three new mentors. West high coaching staff remains as last spring with Paddy Davis, Jeffrey Gairaith and Paul Packard. Arnold Handley and Leslie Nel-son, both graduates from the Utah State Agricultural College will take over coaching duties at the hilltop school. Bach to South after working in a defence plant for Uncle Sam is Clayton (Tate) Wardell, who will take over Long's duties. The South high staff now consists of Wardell, Gilbert and Ryan. HATS OFF! To Nate Long who entered the Army, August 26. Nate established an unbeatable record while coaching "C" football, "C" basketball and track. Also to one swell athlete, Paul Roberts. Rob-erts graduated last June with hon-ors and to all South high students who knew him he was tops, was one of those polio victims. You may wonder why the Big Three schedule is backward this year. South and East were to open league competition last Thursday and Friday as was originally scheduled but because of the late start in drills and because East high accepted the challenge to play in the Lettuce Bowl game at Idaho, the scheduled opener has been sent 1 to the bottom of the pile. Our prognostications favor South in the series opener this week-en-d. West high always has at least one surprise team but no one knows which team it will be. . Cross you fingers. East high will suffer their first loss this week end in the Lettuce Bowl. You may think that we ought to be loyal to the city f schools when playing a game of his sort, but we fail to see East high beat Idaho. Idaho by at least two touchdowns.
