Show Page 4 SOUTH HIGH SCRIBE Friday, April 30, 1943. r Cub Outlook Bright in First Track Tilt Meet Set on Home Cinders; LEAD CUB TRACKSTERS South Strong in Sprints By CLYDE OLIVER Preparing the field for today's track meet held on the South campus should produce enough evidence of whose going to be the strongest squad on the cinder track in the Big Three com-- - --ii j , s4 -- Gb Nil IN - 'Vl I Ralph Jackson Jim JSeeley Jay Child ' - . petition. Last week "Big Three" compe-tition started at West when East downed the Panthers 86-3-7. From this score the Westsiders haven't much to brag about, but should produce plenty of trouble for the other squads in the Big Three. In this meet the Hilltoppers took all relays and placed first in nearly all events. This shows that the East bunch have a strong squad but should be brought to earth next Friday when South travels to East for the play-of- f blow. Ralph Jackson, versatile, all-rou- nd trackster on the Cub squad should place first in three 'events. Mentor Nate Long will probably use Jackson in the events where points are needed most. Virgil Van Cott took all honors last year in the mile run and should go great guns again. In the sprints, Coach Long isn't worry-n- g as yet. Stan Kilbourne, holder of last year's school record in the dashes and Jay Childs, a new-comer to the squad, will be an-other duet of power such as last year's rankings in Lowder and Kilbourne. Some field events are weak and others are strong. .Discus throwers are up to par and Nate has a dozen athletes who should place in all meets. Chick Pater-so-n and Chick Woolf boast a high average in the high jump. Jackson seems to be the strong-est man in this event but one of the "Chicks" should place second or third. Woolf also tries his hand at hurdling and with a little experience should be rank-ed as one of the best in the Big Three. On the other hand, Pater-so-n shows plenty of class in the broad jump and relay teams. Mentor Long seems puzzled about the pole vault event. He needs someone like Palmer, last year's ace, to do the clinching of getting the numerals where they count most. This is the weak spot in the Cub lineup but are not giving up very easily. Jackson can vault plenty high but is needed in other events. Broad jumpers are also weak at the present time but you can rest as-sured that Nate will work out something in Don McGhie, Chick Patterson and Bob Nelson. Comparing the points that the West crew gathered against East, they seem to be strong in the weights and hurdles. Vincent of West is their real contender in the hurdles. He placed first In both high and low last Friday. Other Cubs who should place in today's meet are, Jim Neeley, 440 and 220; Jack Prince, also in the distance races; Carl Child, should produce points in the shotput with Ray Lithgoe and Wayne Cooper gathering points in the discus. Wilford Roller, high hurdler, will also be seen in action. Two weeks ago, Mentor Long took his squad to Davis for a practice duel meet wth the Davis Darts. As the meet drew to an end, South was on the long end of the score, 75-5- 2. The Darts didn't give the Cubs any opposi-tion so there isn't much that can be based on that meet to deter-mine today's outcome. All students are expected to support the track squad tonight, just as much as any other sport. Don't let the squad members down! South High Nine Blast Leopards 9--1 By Grant Woodward Leading the Big Three base-ball chase, the Champions South high nine blasted the lowly Leop-ards of East high yesterday 9-- 1. The Cubs squad rallied in nearly all innings to gather 15 scat-tered hits to score 9 runs. Lefty Kent Peterson led the attack by whiffing 18 so-call- ed hitters from the hill-to- p school. Peterson's arm was never doubt-ful in the nine innings that he chucked. Abe Berthold, Glen Standing, Eldon Story and Don Shepherd led the offensive drive with all getting three bingos in five trips to the plate. Sure Victory South victory was never doub-led from the first pitched ball. Jerry (Jake) Dalebout, captain, hit the second pitched ball off Jerry Hallman, another lefty of East to start things rolling. Standing sacrificed and then the fireworks began. Shepherd hit a double in the 'East tennis court to score Dalebout. Berthold then hit a single and Shepherd scored from second. All the rest of the game the Cubs were never outhit or outfielded. Eldon Story hit the ball on the nose in the sixth inning for a home run. Later on in the ninth frame Berthold connected with one on base for the second home run. Glen Davis, a junior to the squad, hit a double and Peter-son also hit when it was needed. The whole club looked good for nine innings. Great praise is given to Bob Story, Cub catcher, al- - BASEBALL STANDINGS Won Lost Pet. Soth 2 0 1.000 East 1 1 .500 West; 0 2 .000 though not being successful at the plate, his defensive work be-hind the plate was excellent. South 7, West 0. Opening the season last week, Kent Peterson lead the Cubs by allowing only one hit in nine frames to hold the West crew scoreless, 7-- 0. Jerry Dalebout led the offensive drive by hitting two singles out of two trips to the plate, which netted him an av-erage of 100 per cent. Glen Stand-ing singled in the third inning and was the only blow until the Cubs started the massacre in the seventh frame. In the eighth inning all batted around and found red hot singles from nearly all the Cub squad. There is an old saying that pitch-ers can't hit, but Peterson is above the average. Standing, Dale-bout and Peterson received two hits while others had to be sat-isfied with one. Glen Davis dou-bled to left field to show plenty of power at the plate. Jerry Dalebout The Scribe Sports Scope By v Grant Woodward I ' SPORTS EDITORS j Due to war conditions, high school casaba squads next J year may find it quite difficult to continue the physical edu- - i cation program that has been followed the past years. This doesn't mean that the prep squads are going to be eliminated, but coaches and physical education supervisors are going to find it tough, when trying to outline the athletic program, be-cause of the lack of coaches. During the first of the basketball season last year, East and West high schools were without coaches and were in favor of dropping "C" basketball. The Board of Education worked out a fast program to continue the floor activity. East and West are again without sufficient coaches and are in favor of such a program as just one squad of football, basketball and baseball, etc. South high has been very fortunate in their coaching system, but will meet plenty of tough going when the board of education takes our coaches to fill in the other coaching positions where they are needed the most. This doesn't mean that Coaches Nate Long, Jimmy Gilbert, and Pat Ryan are all going to coach somewhere else, but you'll agree that they are fine coaches (the best) and are not subject to the draft. More than likely we will lose one of our coaches to fulfill the Board of Education's plans. Let's hope they work something out so we will be able to keep our coaches. To you athletes who want "Big Three" competition next year without doing away with any sport, get behind your coaches, and they will get together and work out a favorable program for us boys. Uncle Sam is in favor of keeping all physical fitness pro-grams, but leaves it up to the individuals to carry it forth because of so many other responsibilities that they have in this war. We are sure that if students will get behind the coaches the City high schools can still continue the sports pro-gram. A Word To The Wise Training breaks records. Girls break training. We are going to try and start something new so stick with us. Our prognostications favor South in the track meet tonight, but a close duel is expected. We will not have another issue until next year so we will favor South to take the base-ball and track championship and East will be victorious in the tennis line. East Netters Beat Cubs in Jr., Sr. Tilts Boasting a powerful tennis squad South's juniors and sen-iors teams won their first league engagement by beating West high a week ago on West courts. Yes-terday, the highly touted Leop-ards of East high, handed South their first defeat by winning all matches. The tennis stars of Coach Ryan, invaded the West courts last week and dealt the Panthers a defeat in every match played with the exception of one junior loss. South netters gave the Leop-ards a good run for their money, but the City Camps proved too much power for the Cub crew. The lone defeat in the last week series against West, was delivered by West's Dick Atkins. He defeated Bob Hoffman of South 6-- 2, 6-- 4, in the number one singles match. The Seniors gave the West a 5- -0 defeat. This was the climax in sweeping the West series. Here are the results of the contests: Dick Brower, who swings the racket from the port side defeated Glen Young 6-- 2, 6-- 3. Joe Bonny defeated Lothar Nest-ma- n 6-- 3, 6-- 4. Both Brower and Bonney were brilliant in the singles. In the doubles, Mel Hansen and Lou Dods defeated Don Cramer and Joe Giovachini, 6-- 3, 6- -4. Bill Van Rye and Howard Rich-ardson defeated Bill Nielson and Jack Barron 6-- 3, 6-- 4. Jack Wharton and Eddie An-derson defeated Garrett Steen-bli-and Franklin Dabis by the tune of 6-- 2, 6-- 0. The results of East-Sout- h ten-nis meet. Bob Lewis defeated Doug Heiner 6-- 0, 6-- 2. Fred Lewis defeated Dick Brow-er in a thriller 11-- 9, 3-- 6, 6-- 1. Cal McGiles and Bob Lence de-feated Ed Anderson and Jack Wharton 6-- 1, 6-- 4 in one doubles match. Frank Pyke and Buss Lowe defeated Lou Dods and Mel Hansen 0-- 6, 8-- 6, 6-- 1. After the first match Mel was handi-capped with a broken racket. In the last doubles contest John Ben-nett and Wendell Wyneger de-feated Bill Van Rye and Howard Richardson, 6-- 2, 6-- 3. Sports a la Femme: Beginning the 1943 girls' soft-ba- ll tourney with a repercussion explosion, Miss Iris Sleater's first and fourth period senior classes competed against each other on April 21, after school, in a fast and close game, the score being 15-1- 6, fourth period leading at the end of the second and last inning. The members of Snow's squad are Marjorie Wallin, Beverly Eg-bert, Marjorie James, Edna Chris-tiansen, Lois Williamson, Gherrie Christensen, Marjorie Adamson, Francis Pead and Lillian Brown.
