Show Seniors- Start '42 Basketball Season Rolling Before the Big Three football race has been decided, South's coaches are preparing for the next sport on the calendar basketball. Starting sooner than any of them, Coach Jim Gilbert has had tryouts for the A team and has already cut his squad of more than half a hundred to twenty. He will hand walking papers to from four to eight others before the official season sea-son starts. The seniors have a pre-season game scheduled which is bigger than the regular season and will probably prove just as interesting. They have played one of these with Reception Center of Fort Douglas. This turned out to be a rout in which the Cubs rolled up 117 points in two short games. Their opponents oppon-ents managed to scrape together 42 counters. In this fracas the guards seemed to be outstanding. Frank Davidson David-son was high point man with fourteen four-teen points, and Kay Spackman and Fred Weidner had the best shooting averages. All three of these men play guard positions. The squad as it stands now has four full teams. The men that compose the team are: centers: Mark Sohwendiman, Ray Ecker, Jack Richards, and Harvey Schmidt; Sch-midt; forwards: Stan Clawson, Chick Woolf, Dave Cooper, Glen Earl, Harry Smith, Doug Heiner, Doug Iindley, and Sid Faldmo; Guards: Frd Weidner, Elden Story, Frank Davidson, Kay Spackman, Spack-man, Willy Stewart, Lawrence Palmer, Pal-mer, Hugh Wiley, and Larry Pearson. Pear-son. Of these, Ecker and Schwendiman seem to have the edge on the center cen-ter posts. The forwards with the best hold on that position are Glen Earl, Dave Cooper, Chick Woolf, and Stan Clawson. Earl and Cooper Coop-er are holdbacks from last year's A team, while Oawson and Smith .were all-city men. The guards with the inside track are: Fred Weidner, Eldon Story, Frank Davidson, Dav-idson, Will Stewart, and Lawer-ance Lawer-ance Palmer. Davidson is an all-city all-city man from last year's B team. South's preseason schedule includes in-cludes two games with Provo, last year's state champs.
