Show Scribe Scans 1941-42 Sports Season Cubs Took Three Championships Lost Football Crown South High's Cubs dominated the sports limelight last year, winning three of the five city championshipsbasketball, champion-shipsbasketball, track and baseball. base-ball. The football season wasn't exactly exact-ly all glory for South, but spectators specta-tors didn't say that the boys weren't trying. Only the "C" team's efforts produced pro-duced wins in league play. The three court squads chosen to represent South established a record rec-ord never achieved by any of the three city schools in previous years. They won twelve consecutive games in lea,gue play while losing none. The teams made their victories vic-tories more impressive by wlnnrng games with scores almost double their opponents. Coach Nate Long's "C" team stretched their winning streak in league play to eighteen wins without with-out defeat. The midgets have now completed four seasons of league play and have yet to be on the short end of the score when the final gun sounds. Came the spring, and also one of the most outstanding track teams ever to grace the campus at South. Those boys of blue and white showed the Eciders that they were rulers of the cinder paths. The Cubs added to their glory by defeating Davis high in a dual track meet by ten points. Incidentally, Inci-dentally, Davis was state champ. South was particularly effective in the short dashes. With Jack Lowder, Stanj Kilbourne and Dave McLelland running for South thera wasn't any room for East and West in the win, place, and show columns. In the triangle meet at the "U" stadium, the Cubs really showed their talent, winning the meet quite handily. Coach Jimmy Gilbert brought the baseball championship back to South for the first time since 1936. Last year's aggregation was benefited bene-fited by some steady hurling on the part of Kent Peterson and Macoy (Continued Column 3) ( Concluded from Column 2) McMurray. This, plus timely hitting, hit-ting, made the Cubs practically invincible. in-vincible. After dropping the opener open-er to West high, the Cubs won three straight, sewing up the championship with a 17-7 victory over East. Once again the Ecide netters ruled the roost over South and West. One creditable performance was that of Dick Brower who went undefeated in league play. Dick was a junior and will undoubtedly be one of the stalwart performers in this coming year, according to former coach Johnson's recommendation. |
