Show FsLge 4 SOUTH HIGH SCRIBE Wednesday, November 3, 1943 EAST TAKES OYER EIG--3 RACE I Powerful Leopard Eleven Stops South A 12-- 0 East high established its supremacy on the Big Three grid front last Friday by defeating the South high Cubs in a bitterly fought battle which ended in a 12-- 0 decision against the Cubs. South's only scoring opportunity came in the first period when the Cubs pounced on an Ea3t fumble deep in the Leopard's territory. The Southerners were unsuccessful in their attempt to follow up this break. Peterson kicked out of bounds on the Leopard's 10 yard line after three tunsuccessful plays, ending in a fake attempt for a field goal, from this point East drove to South's 38 before being stopped. East was a constant scoring threat to the Cubs for the remainder of the afternoon. The Leopard captain, Keith Dib-ble, engineered the East eleven to its first score with a very ef-fective mixture of plays. The of-fensive began with a 14 yard run from a buck lateral around right end. From South's 31 yard line Summerhay's starting another plunge, jumped and threw a pass which was good for 13 yards. Gordy Schettler then took the ball on a reverse around left end, which placed the ball on the Cub's 4 yard line. The touchdown was scored by Summerhays on the fourth down after a heroic stand by South's eleven. Big Three Standings W LIT A East 5 0 1 1.000 South 3 2 1 .666 West 0 6 6 .000 Summerhays scored in two plays from South's 5 yard line after a 64 yard drive in which Dibble opened with an 18 yard run. Sum-merhays picked up 20 yards in two plays, Schettler drove 14, and Dib-ble ran seven for the score. i With! the Cubfs plugging the holes in the line during the first half, Summerhays found the going tough. The second half proved to be an entirely different situation. The 195-pou- nd fullback found the holes in South's defense and smashed through for large gains. In addition, Summerhays turned in a greatly improved kicking per-formance. His only bad kick was redeemed by a beautiful 70-ya- rd punt which placed the Cubs at con-siderable disadvantage. The Cub's defensive efforts were njothing short 'of spectacular at times. Keddington and Carabine turned in good performances at the ends. LaMar Nagel at fullback for the Cubs made all four tackles in South's heroic stand at their goal in the second quarter. Jerry Dalebout at center played an ex-ceptionally good defensive game. Alternating at quarterback and guard on offense Dods and Ange-lo- s played very consistant football. Kent Peterson turned in a beauti-ful kicking performance. Neal Adams, greatest offensive threat to East, made several long punt returns, the longest of which was killed by a penalty for roughing the kicker. East-Sout- h Midgets Battle to Scoreless Tie Sticking to the tradition of being the best squad of the three in South high school, the C taam boasts of an undefeated record so far. They downed the West drive 27-- 6 and then last week fought to a scoreless tie with East. Let's give a summary of facts for the midgets this season. Getting a late start on drills be-cause of infantile paralysis, the midgets opened league plays on October 14th against West. Being the first game of the season both teams were finding each other out. West had the edge in the first half 6-- 0 but the Cubs came back with an unexpected amount of power plays to garner 27 points in two quarters. Last Thursday the C squad play-ed its second league game. Well, it was a tough battle. East midgets held the upper hand all of the first half by outsmarting the Cub de-fense. Bob Horman ran Walt Gehrke's punt to the midfield stripe. The Leopards from this point caught the Cubs napping. Dick Backman, end for East, slip-ped over to the sidelines. Kenny Thorpe on the next play passed to him in the clear. While catching the pass Backman lost his balance and fell on the 12 yard mark. This was all for the Leopards. They were stopped cold from this point, except early in the second period, where Thorpe quick kicked over Gehrke's head. The pigskin stopped on the Cubs 7 yard line. These two plays kept the Cubs In hot water the first half. The second half found things quite different. The Leopard mid-gets kicked off. Bob Sidwell, Mar--! ion Gregory and Owen Wright, al-ternating, smashed downfield to the Leopard's nine yard stripe. k Lacking the needed punch East took over. Both teams defense held snugly, so most of the third period found an exchange of punts. Early in the fourth frame Sidwell on his reverse pass from his own 28 yard line found Dick Powers in the clear who caught the pass and galloped to the Leopards' 22 yard marker before being brought down. A worthy fumble at this point and the Leopards took oyer. They kick-ed out and the Cubs started pas-sing again. The Cub midgets found the Gehrke-De- ll pass offense work-ing so South again threatened. Gehrke passed to Sidwell to the East 40 then he passed to Dell to the Leopard 15 yard line. Two passes to Sidwell and Kay Greer found the Cubs with a first down and one yard away for a score. An-other costly fumble with East re-covering stopped the midget Cub attack. East again punted out of dangerous territory. As' the final gun sounded the Cubs were again threatening, but all they needed was a little time. Knell, Rindfliesch and Budd stood out on the Leopard line and Thorpe and Horman lead the back field. For the Cubs, Dell, Dubbeld, Woodward, Fivas and Johnson were the outstanding stars. Gehr-ke, Silwell ,Greer and Hughes were the bright spots for the backfield. Girls Outline Activities For 43-4- 4 Girls sports should be this year because of the elegant group of juniors Lincoln, Roosevelt and Irvrng "have sent South, but mostly because of the super sportsmanship displayed last year by the present seniors. In two weeks the girls will be participating in their favorite sport basketball!- - Dorothy Bux-ton, Cherrel Jacobsen, Faye Sparks, La Rue Howell, Beverly Black, Delores Dunford, Bonnie Lee Lar-se- n, Melva Llyod and Beverly Barker are only a few of the hoopsters who displayed smooth skill in floor work and shooting last year. They and their team mates really meant business and intended to put many .victories be-hind them this year. For a few starting weeks the feminine athletes showed some promising work on the green. Hockey was developing into some-thing big. Girls were cooperating to the fullest and had some keen plays worked out, itching to trick their opponents in the tournament to-b- e. But the tempramental weatherman rushed the winter sea-son and only a few souls were brave enough to carry on. Now its tramp, tramp, tramp, for the girls. Round and round the gym they march, with long faces and feet trudging to the time of the music. They can't hardly com-pete wjth the R.0.T.C drill teams but they're quite good. Calethenics are also practiced daily in the classes. Cub B Team Drops One To East 19--0 Underdog, East B team, walked away with a surprise victory over the Cubs last Thursday with the final score 19-- 0. On the kickoff Middlemiss from South received. The first few downs South looked good, with plenty of spirit, calling their shifts out loud as they charged down the field. However East proved to have a strong defense with Wooley, right guard, breaking through the line stopping South's first quarter drive. Then starting out in the final minutes of the first quarter East opened up with off-tackl- e, smashes and effective pass combinations to drive the ball through an over-confident South crew. Then on a .very efficient sleeper play Roselle of East took a pass from Williams to carry the ball deep into South territory. This is how it happened. Amidst other members of the Leopard team on the sidelines, Roselle slyly removed his helmet, causing no suspicion from the Cubsters. East by no action or sound did not betray their well or-ganized play. And then quick as a flash, Roselle receiving the pass streaked down the sidelines. Then a few minutes later Roselle went off tackle to score standing up, making the score 6-- 0 at the end of the first half. For the next two quarters both teams played on equal basis. East seemingly out-foug- ht South and with more spirit held the ball most of the time. About this time Gi-lbert sent in a practically whole new team to fight off the onrush-in- g Leopards. In the last quarter East with a series of line smashes drove to the South 12 yard line. And then with Ward and Williams leading the play Sudbury streaked around end to score. Then South with first string men back in the game be-gan desperate plays and long pas-ses to try for a South tally. How-ever a pass from Koller was inter-cepted by Roselle of East who ran to the South 22 yard stripe. On two plays Sudbury carried the ball to the Cub 9 yard line. Then on an off-tack- le smash, Ward went to the Cub end zone. Roselle received a pass for the conversion making the score 19-- 0 in the final quarter. With only a few minutes left in the game, East again intercepted a pass. A South penalty brought the ball dangerously close to the South line. But a few seconds later the gun went off. According to all the conditions involved, South should have won. Talking to one of the B team members the other day it was found out why we didn't. After East made their first touchdown the South' high stands quieted down. It really made the fellows feel bad. The team felt just like the whole school had let them down. : The Scribe SPORTS SCOPE By I Grant Woodward Jerry Dalebout Finally, after 11 years, the athletes of South high school have an insurance program to pay for all injuries acquired while participating in school events. The state high schools have had this program in effect for a number of years, but it was not until last year that the idea was accepted at South. The coaches, athletes, and many other parties tried year after year to get this insurance plan into effect, but somehow their efforts were futile. We adopted this plan from the Provo high school. The first thing which the applicant must have is a medical card from his doctor, which states thafl he is in the proper physical con-dition. Then he must pay $1.75 in order to be eligible for the in- - i jury insurance in case he is injured. This plan is a fine thing to have for anyone who is antici-pating to play any athletics, and the offer should be taken, advantage of. When participating in sports, anything can happen and usually does. Athletes are being hurt all the time, and no one is able to say when an accident is liable to occur in any phase of athletics. In case one of the more unfortunates does break an arm or leg, and he has insurance to cover it, everything will be taken care of in the way of doctor bills. You can readily see why everyone has been working to get this insurance pro-gram placed at South. Maybe this article sounds like an advertisement, but it is not intended for that. We are trying to have every person in ths school see the importance of the insurance. We have finally acquired the long sought insurance plan, ; and here it is LET'S KEEP IT. Hats off to all South high athletes in the Service. Here are a few of our many athletes, where they are stationed, and what J they are doing. Don McGhie, All City center, is stationed at Camp Wolters, Texas, and is participating in football at this camp. Carl Childs, another All City gridder, is stationed at Northwestern. Dick North, all round athlete, is stationed at Berkeley, California, where he is studying meterology. Chick Woolf is at Colorado ' College. Clair Empey is studying to become a Navy Pilot at ( Livermore, California. Eldon Story is with the Coast Guard. Abe Berthold is training to become a Marine. Glen Standing and Vera Bott are stationed with McGhie in Texas. 1 Neal Adams Wins Outstanding Athlete Award (This is the first of articles out-lining the outstanding athletes of the year fromj South high school.) Dodging, running, passing and kicking, highlighted Neal Adams as our choice as our first outstanding athlete, when playing in the re-cent South-We- st "A" game. Adams is the son of Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Adams of 1124 Lake street. He is only 16 years old. Neal attended Roosevelt high school. While attending junior high he became well known for his ability along track cinders. Junior high schools don't have grid squads so his ability as a football gridder didn't shine until last foot-ball season. He came to South last year and went out for the football team. Well, he made the squad, then first string. He passed, kicked and ran the pigskin for Jimmy Gilbert's eleven. During the season an ankle injury upset his career as a junior gridder, but he is now enjoying a colorful season of football under Pat Ryan, "A" team mentor. Also in his junior year at South he enlisted as a member of the "B" basketball team. Track is his real speciality. Spring is a few months away but it wouldn't hurt to list his ability as far as track goes. He earned his track letter last spring while running the 440. He also jumps, hurdles and has a very good stride for any cinder race. Adams must like the field of sports very much. School sports aren't enough for him, because at the beginning of the summer he obtained a position with the Salt Lake Recreation Department sta-tioned at Liberty park. He taught and took care of playground recre-ation for the boys and girls. Besides his outstanding ability in football, basketball and track, he challenges anyone to a game of table tennis, and will go swim-ming anytime someone mentions it. Adams is president of the Senior class and is scheduled to do many great things. He is also scheduled for a third year here at South high, so Cubs will see plenty of Neal Adams next year. He has a B average in all high school work and likes science very much. As you can see, Neal Adams is not only an outstanding athlete, but an outstanding leader and scholar.
