Show The Scribe SPORTS SCOPE By Grant Woodward Sports Editor It appears that most students and even the athletes have the wrong impression about the Big Six league. It is the opinion of the public that the city schools, East, South and West have done away with the Big Three league. lea-gue. I When the coa- j ches and principals princi-pals of the six schools met on I Dece mber 14, these decisions; , were made. ; 1 "A" teams? of each school to Grant Woodward be made up of the best eligible boys in the school. This means even juniors if they are good enough to make the "A" squad. "B" or reserve teams to be made up of reserve eligible players who may be either junior or senior grade, but mainly juniors. "C" teams are to be made up of juniors and seniors, but on the classification basis. This idea has not been changed and the boys, weigh in according to height, weight and age. "Sophomore" teams are to be made up of eligible boys in the sophomore class of the county schools. Competition is to be between the "A" teams of the six schools, and the "B" or reserve team of the six schools in a preliminary match. "C" teams will play sophomore soph-omore teams on a six team basis. The Championship of the Big Six is to be determined on the "A" team basis. The Championship Champion-ship of the three city schools, East, South and West is to be determined de-termined as heretofore on a three team basis. You can see that the "A" team is in the spotlight because it plays in two leagues; the Big Three and the Big Six. By playing East and West in the Big Six, the school officials kill two birds with one stone and thus two championships are determined. Remember when we play East and West all three games are league games and the hoopsters on the three teams need your support. BIG THREE STANDINGS . Won . Lost Pet.

Stu- dents of South have slackened their spirit considerably during the hoop season. Years before, South had to turn away spectators and fans because all seats were taken. Students fill only half of the benches as last year. Those students act like kids when they I do come to the "A" games. Many reasons have been given for the small crowds at the basketball bask-etball games. Jobs, duties, dates, etc., are just some of the few reasons. rea-sons. One student stated that he didn't want to come and see South ge beat every time but what was he doing to help the matter. Just ii because South hasn't produced a" winning aggregation this season, for the first time in many years, it gives you students no reason for not wanting to come to the games. When the "A" hoopsters are losing, that's the time they need your support most. Let's all turn over a new leaf and give the athletes some sup- y port for tonights battle and show them that we appreciate what tihey are doing to make our high school days more fun. t |
