Show Page Four SOUTH HIGH SCRIBE Monday, February 1, 1943. We Did It Before We Can Do It Again ! I " Mighty Cub A" Swishes, Passes To Humble Wecide Crew South Quintet Hailed As One of Greatest Running rampant over their Western hosts, South Highs' "A" team won a decisive 49-2- 7 victory, Friday at the Deseret Gym, to give warning to the confident East crew, who they play this week. The Cubs, swift moving and as smooth as many professional teams racked up an early lead, during the Panther game, and at no time were endangered by the red and black crew. Clair Empey, lanky Cub center, started the game with two field goals in quick succession and with points by North, Roberts, and Story, the Cubs roared to a first quarter lead of 13-- 3. West had made no field goals, Westerners Rally In the third quarter the Pan-thers staged somewhat of a rally, led by Young and Toby Shirashi of West, but they couldn't over-come the lead gained by South. Dee Lowder, Dave McLelland, Darrel Lund and Bill Grainger played briefly in the second and fourth quarters, playing on an even scale with the Panthers, and slipping thru West's weak defense almost as easily as their first string brothers. Throughout the game speedy passes and dribbling combined 'red hots', North and Roberts, high point men with 13 and 15 points respectively, and confirmed the opinion of many that South's 'A' team is the smoothest prep team in the state. Woolf Handles .Rebounds Chic Woolf, Cub guard, con-trolled the backboards and took the ball away from more than one ambitious Westerner, while Eldon Story and Clair Empey ac-counted for their share of the honors with 9 and 8 points each. Young and Shirashi of West played outstanding roles for the Panthers, but West could neither connect with the hoop nor could they break through South's solid defense. The Cubs are favored over East next Friday and should be the best game of the season. The Eciders look to Bob Lence, big Jim Wood-ward, and the Lewis brothers for a high total of points. Woodward leads the league scorers, and is a dependable man on the floor. South has five great stars in first string positions, all who work in complete harmony. Add to this Coach Gilbert's fine reserve string, including Darrell Lund, Bill Gran-ger, Dick West, and many others who can just about match any-thing other schools in the "Big 3" dish out. Cub Juniors Outfoul West, But Foes Outshoot "B" 25-2- 2 31 Because they failed to connect with the hoop on foul tries, while West tanked most of theirs, the Cub "B" squad Friday dropped a heart-breakin- g game to West's jun-iors by a score 25-2- 3, at the Deseret Gym. The 'B' team got off to a bad start, and although they recovered and forged ahead at the half, fal-tered again, and were unable t o re-gain the treasured lead. At the beginning of the game South fouled time and time again, and although they worked the ball into West's defense they threw it away. Another thing noticeable about the Cubs was that they failed to tail their shots and lost the ball to West because of this. No one man on South's junior quintet was outstanding, but Reid Keddinglon, who went out of the game on fouls, and Anthon Peter-son were somewhat smoother than their teammates. High point men for the evening were Morris Kjar of South with 8 points and Wil-for- d Fink from West with a total of 7 points. As for next week's games with East the Cubs will have overcome some of their stage fright and will attempt to eek out a victory over East's flashy quintet of juniors. This loss was South's first in two year, thus ending their sole shut-ou- t reign of the "Big Three" casaba race. It loopholed their chances to duplicate last year's flashing successes. Friday night the 'B' will meet East in a game that will make or break South's junior team. East presents stiff competition in this group, and South's poor showing by losing to West Friday, only makes the outlook more doubtful. Possible the greatest reason for their loss Friday night, was the 'B' team's lack of FIGHT. Coach Ryan will drill his charges hard this week, especially on foul shooting. With a week of hard practice, the juniors should be in shape to knock down the giant Ecide team with star Oscar McConkie. Peppy Booster Club Stands Behind Teams Of all the pepsters at the school of the blue and white, the Boos-etr- s Girls' club is the most lively. Using white as their standard col-or, their white sweaters were in abundance at all of the football games, and their pep was even more dominant. On several assemblies they have given their all to help enhance the morale of Cub football enthusiasts. ' Now that basketball season is here, "Meg," and "Inky," their live-ly cheer leaders are cooking up some new yells and stunts for live-ly Southerners .... "Preparations for our annual Sweater Swiz, March 12, are now under way," said Dolores Gerome. Flashy Forward i " - salt Lake Telegram Dick North, Cub forward deluxe.

South's midgets sent the Cubs out in front of the casaba race and proved that they were champion-ship caliber equaling or better-ing first-gam- e showings of last year's 1.000 per cent club. West was out of the game In the first quarter, when a "hot" Cub quintet racked up 10 points, while the Panthers, fresh from a victory over East, made exact-ly no field goals. They had tanked two foul shots. Teams Miss Set-Up- s Both teams missed some almost perfect set-u-p shots in the first quarter, and South's inability to hit the hoop on the foul pitches might have cost her a game if the tilt had been a close one. It was all over for the Pan-thers in the second half. The Wecide second string played the majority of the final frames, and proved ineffective against the smooth ball handling of the Cub midgeteers. McLaren Plays Smooth Game Keith McLaren bolstered tne guard spot effectively, playing a smooth floor game and tossing in five counters, and Max Ingram notched up eight points after he started playing ball. Bill Demke was high point man ' of the day, arching ten points into the basket to pace the blue and white team. For West. Morelli swished six points, leading his team, while Komas and Aoki played relatively good floor games. Thompson Hustles Aplenty Little Walt Thompson amazed fans by hustling and tailing the ball ali over the court. He made three consecutive baskets from his forward spot in the few minutes he was in the game. Burt Tigey and Bob Sidwell bolstered the South team, while reserves were effective, even against West high's first team. South will meet East high this week, in what may prove an even tougher game, despite the fact that West drubbed the Leopards last week. With two more weeks of practice, the East midgets should present South with a more formidable five. Cub Talk By Frank James We want a Pep band! This was the cry of South students after last Friday's ses-sion at the Deseret Gym. As usual, Southerners packed the stands and outnumbered Panther supporters ten to one, and yet, every time West led out with a yell they drowned the South-erners out. Why? Because West had a small pep band consisting of several trombones and trumphets, some snarr drums and cymbals. South's band consisted mainly of reeds and anyone knows that brasses can outdo reeds any day of the week and twice on Sun-day. Mr. Willardsen, how about bringing some of your "hot" trumpet and trombone players out of antiquity and let them blow their brains out this Friday when East disturbes the peace by futily trying to win the title. This will probably be the title deciding series and the students will no doubt be out in force. Will the band be there? What's your answer, music depart-ment?

State St. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH Champs Show Ecide Faculty Real Game in Potbelly Battle The old boys lost a lot of speed since their younger days, but they showed this "smart - alecky" younger generation a thing or two in the way of basketball. Yep, mates, when you laughed at and cheered for the "Champs of '16" when they played the Leopard faculty at South Janu-ary 20, you probably ushered out the old era of basketball, with its two-hande- d chest shots and check me if I'm wrong its six-m- an teams. But though they had six men and often seven on the floor at one time, the old boys showed plenty of punch in losing to the Eciders by a score that no one remembers or even cares about. The whole affair was part of a P-- T A drive to raise money for eyeglasses for needy children. From the looks of the fouls the referees let slip by in the champ-Ecid- e game, the glasses should have been given to them. Ernie (Swede) Hanson, better known as Ernest M. Hanson, as-sistant superintendent of schools, played a stellar game, as din "Bunny" Clark of the original champ five which took the Na-tional AAU championship 27 years ago. Harold Johnson tanked 19 points for the East faculty. In a preliminary feature, the South faculty trounced West soundly, even though "Ike" Isaac-son went "shot-heade- d" and tossed a couple over the backboard. Ike and Jimmy Gilbert were the big guns for the Cub faculty, though. Every time Gilbert swished a point, he walked away looking pleased as a Cheshire cat. He got a lot of cheering, and razz-ing, from, his own five. Problem of the day: Who were the other three bald-pate- d bas-kete- ers supposedly representing the South five? Skiing, Bowling Carry On At South High SKIING In spite of being handicapped this winter by gas rationing and tire shortages not to mention time- - skiing is still a popular sport among a majority of South-erners. Jimmy Gilbert, athletic coach, is one of the more enthused par-ticipants. Gilbert often takes a group of boys with him on his snow treks. Also ardent fans are Dave Sny-der, Dick Collins, Bob Linde, Foo Johnson and a host of others. Some of the fellows who have been enjoying a slalom (can you do it) and downhill race are Steve Poulos, Jerry Griffiths, Roy Sil-ver, Ralph Parker, Dick Palmer, Earl Johnson, Sy Christian son and ad infinitum. (Don't ask us who he is.) BOWLING They must set their own pins, but who cares? Meeting at the Ritz Bowling alleys, the popular bowling club enjoys frequent bowling matches under the sponsorship of Miss Dorothy Martin. The purpose of the club is to promote skill and interest in bowl-ing, and, from the looks of the bowlers, the purpose has been achieved. President of the group is Dean Christensen, with Bob Bjork as vice president and Bev Egbert as secretary. |
