Show Page Four " SOUTH HIGH SCRIBE September 29. 1941. Panther Invasion Initiates City Grid Season Midgets Collide to Usher Initial Big Three Series "C" Squad Eyes 2nd Straight Undefeated Season Coach "Nate" Long has been putting in extra hours every night with a "C" team that has just as good or better prospects than any midget squad South high school has ever seen. Graduation, injuries and weight took seven strong players from this year's roster, but scrimmages indicate the midgets have a strong chance of attaining their second undefeated, untied, and unscored season. Most of the boys who are almost sure of starting berths are return-ing from last year's "C" . squad. All-Ci- ty Frank Davidson, will be at one end, with Jack Lowder or Robert Christensen on the other. The tackle posts show Russell Mears, another All-Cit- y man, and Jerry Collins making the strong-est bids. The running guard posi-tion seems to be taken up by Hugh Wiley, while on the other side of center, shows a new member to the squad, Dave Berg. Charles Hig-gin- s has been shifted from guard to center, where he has very little competition. The backfield has many pros-pects, but the boys who are likely to see the most action are: Dick North, fullback, Glen Earl, tail-back, and Bill Northrup, back. Stan Clawson, who gained All-Cit- y honors last year, will again vie for these honors as signal caller. Juniors Mold j Into Form Under Gilbert With the rapid approach of the current football season, Coach Jimmy Gilbert is diligently prim-ing this year's "B" squad to swing into action against West high school on October 9. The juniors will engage in a pre-season tilt against the Ogden high school reserves on October 2. This battle, being the Cubs' initial game, is expected to bring out the weak spots and the strength of the jun-ior squad. This game will also clear up many uncertainties pre-valent at the beginning of the season. "B" DIVISION October 9 West at South October 16 South at East October 30 South at West November 6 East at Souht Through the process of elimina-tion, Jimmy has reduced the num-ber of players to about thirty-tw- o. Because the juniors display un-usual ability in the pigskin sport, Jimmy stated that there wouldn't be any reason in having a first string squad, and he feels confi-dent that every player can capa-bly hold his position. Coach Gilbert is well satisfied with the present outlook of his squad. In the backfield he has a group of speedy and hefty men who have shown excellent ability in slinging the pigskin, running, blocking, and kicking. Backfield men are: Wally Archibald, Rex Ballard, Lou Dods, Harry Erskine, Keith Fou!ger( Howard Nielson and Harvey Wallace, halfbacks. Quarterbacks: Kent Peterson, Dar-re- ll Lund and Jerry Dalebout. Fullback: Bob Barker, Jim Neely and Don Sheperd. The forward wall brings to Coach Gilbert another look of sat-isfaction. At the end berths there is DeMar Wood, Wilford Steven-son, Ralph Parker, Dave McLcl-lan- d, Bob Fairclough, Ramon Em-erson and Boyd Brown. At the guard position there is Bob Brown, Dale Johnston, Fred King, Keith Lignell, Elmo Sprunt. Tackles are George Marchant, Mac Moss, Bob Sainsbury and Bob Shaw. At cen-ter there is Don Davis and Bob Nielson. "C" DIVISION October 8 South at West October 15. East at South October 29 West at South November 5 South at East The reserve material is com-posed of juniors and second years, and you may expect plenty of ac-tion from them. At reserve quar-terback, is a promising second year, Dick Davis, who will prob-ably fill Clawson's shoes next year. Diminutive, but flashy, Cal Hathenbrook is giving Dick North a run for first string fullback. Cal can also fill in at halfback and quarterback. Other backs are: Howard Smith, Jim Tidwell, Dick Brower, and Robert Story. Two guards who will see plenty of action are Fred Cole and Joe Pass. Reserve tackles are Her-man Bauer and Ralph Jackson. Backing up Frank Davidson on his end is Clyde Oliver. The Midget's first game will be against Murray, October 1st, and the first league game, October 8th against West on West's field. Missing this year will be cap-tain and All-Cit- y end, Elmer Tay-lor; All - City half-bac- k Elvin Smith; dependable Clyde Hill, tackle; Dee Lowder and Stanley Kilbourne, reserve backs. . - - "That's the Way to Mow 'Em Down" TOVCTTOVfA ' ...y. . VVV-- ,'."VV Coach 'Tate" Wardell looks on approvingly as he .watches his quarterback, Dave Cooper, demon-strate how to tackle a runner on Carl Childs. These boys are important cogs in the senior grid machine and Cub fans will see plenty of action from Dare, brother of Wally, star quarterback on last year s squad, and Carl. "A" Gridders Eke Out 13-1-2 Victory Over Tooele Once again South's smooth clicking grid machine chalked up a hard fought game against the invading Tooele high school, 13-1- 2, Friday, on the Cubs' field. Coach Wardell's gridders started the game with a bang by scoring their initial touchdown in the first few minutes of play. Dave Cooper, quarterback, received a returned punt from the in-vaders and streaked down the field sixty yards to hit pay dirt. A line plunge for the extra point was successful. A few minutes later, the Blue and White boys marched down the field for their second score. A pass from Slingin' Dave Cooper to Captain Sid Faldmo ad-vanced the Cubs nearer to Tooele's goal. Once again, Cooper's ac-curate aerial pass took effect as Lawrence Palmer wrapped himself around one of his passes and scor-ed the second tally. "A" DIVISION October 10 South at East October 17 East at South October 31 West at South November 7 South at East The attempted conversion proved unsuccessful. The first quarter ended with the Southerners hold-ing on to a safe and on the long end of a 13-- 0 score. The second canto started with the Cubs desperately trying to stop the onward march of the vis- - itors. Bill Paulos caught the Cubs off guard as he slipped off to receive a sleeper pass to score their initial score. The attempted conversion was blocked. The score read 13-- 6 at the end of the half. Both teams fought hard in the third quarter, driving into each other's territory, but neither hav-ing the punch to hit the goal line. At the end of the third, the score was unchanged 13-- 6. Late in the fourth, Tooele stead-ily rolled deeper into Cub terri-tory until they finally crossed the line, thus making the score read 13-1- 2. Tooele was still on the short end of the score by failing to succeed in the attempt for the extra point. For the Cubs, Dave Cooper was the offensive spark, but the en-tire backfield composed of Cooper, Faldmo, Anderson and Palmer, were all exceptionally brilliant. FELLOWS!
