Show 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, because 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 programs, 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 program. 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 baseball base-ball and track championship and East will be victorious in the tennis line. |
