Show Grant Woodward The Scribe SPORTS SCOPE By . ,Vv 'V J- - ' - 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 endeavors. 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 Nelson, 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. Roberts Rob-erts graduated last June with honors 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-end. 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. ' |
