Page Four SOUTH HIGH SCRIBE Southerners Face E-ci- de Leopards in Cinder Duel Title-Sharin- g Squads Collide on South Field Keen Competition Expected In Tussle Tonite Nate Long's high-ridin- g track-sters will try to fulfill their tough-est assignment when they tackle the East Leopards tonight on the Cub field in an effort to smother their opponents. This dual meet will be Big Three's second cinder tilt. In the initial match, the Cubs thoroughly trounced the Panthers, 84 to 38. Cub Crew Powerful In tonight's tangle, Nate will send in a bunch of speedy and ca-pable cindermen against the Ecid-er- s. Although both squads boast a . strong crew, the blue and white men are given a slight edge in the tussle this afternoon. One of South's strongest cinder clans has been developed this year and rates as favorites in the Triangle meet at the U. of U. stadium. Hall Strengthens Ecide Squad Ralph Hall of the invading clan puts a great punch behind the red and black squad. His outstanding performance at the invitational meet gave him the all-rou- nd cham-pionship for the second consecutive year. The. Leopard squad, however, isn't quite as powerful as it seemed to be last year, while the Cubs seem much stronger this season. ,h Cubs-Leopar- ds Share 1941 Title When the two teams tangle in tonight's encounter, track fans will see the title-sharin- g schools bat- - ' 1 tie to see which squad is superior. The Cubs are more determined than ever to clamp down on the contending Leopards. The Cubs still remember the five point de-feat suffered at the hands of the hill-to- p rivals in their league con-test. In the Triangle meet, these two schools tied for the crown. The Cubs have power, material and spirit to take the title again this year, and also tonight's battle. rr" Tracksters Sparkle at Provo Relays, Dashes Captured By Victorious Long-Me-n Seven Other Events Won By Cubs Once again, the Salt Lake City high schools gained recognition in the sporting world by winning high honors in the thirty-secon- d Provo Invitational Track and Field Meet1 held at the BYU stadium last Fri-day and Saturday. This year, Nate Long's speedy cindermen walked off with more honors than did last year. The Cubs once again are favored to re-tain the city title this year. The meet last week showed the wealth of power behind the blue and white squad as it carried off top honors. Cubs Place in Eleven Events Participating in the 16 events the Cubs romped off with four firsts and placed in seven others. The 100-yar-d dash, 220-yar- d dash, 880-ya- rd relay, and the med-ley relay were captured by the Cubs. Stan Kilbourne streaked to victory in the century sprint with team mate Jack Lowder fast on his heels. The time was 10.6. Lowder came back to cop the 220 dash. Jack's time was 23.3. Palmer romped in second. The 880 relay, composed of Lowder, Kilbourne, Palmer and Dave McLelland, was won by the Cubs. The Southerners went on to capture the medley re-lay. Ray Adamson, Joe Lewis, Grant Kelly, Ralph Jackson, cir-cled the cinder path in 39:56.5. The time for tre 880 relay was 1 :37.5.

Ecider Wins Championship Ralph Hall of the Ecide squad, captured the all-rou- nd champion-ship for the second consecutive year. Not only did his feat bring honor to the city schools, but greater honors were brought to East for it was the fifth time in seven years that a Leopard track-st- er has won the all-rou- nd gonfa-lon. Ralph rolled up a total of 5525 points, 496 more than his last year's total of 5029. Mac Speedie, South's greatest all around cinder-ma-n, holds the record for the high-est number of points, 5640 in 1938, 115 points more than Hall's.

Although hampered by rain, the two schools put up a bitter fight to the finish. The Cubs were trail-ing the Darts by fifteen points and with only the three relays left, the blue and white shirted boys gave everything they had to cap-tured first in all three races. South high school is very proud of the fine bunch of tracksters, whose fighting spirit and fine sportsmanship brought glory and recognition to the school not only by downing the Darts but also for their remarkable performance in the invitational meet at Provo last week. Davis Men Outstanding Coach Linford rolled into the Cub campus with a fine bunch of tracksters. It seems that the Darts have always boasted a strong squad every year, always walking off the field with top hon-ors. The Cubs have accomplished a neat feat in defeating the Darts., Any team that can topple a Davis crew truly deserves all the praise, cheer and the hearty congratua-tio- n of any spots fan. Track fans had the opportunity of watching two outstanding track-men. Lloyd Page and Fred Shef-field. Sheffield now holds the Provo invitational meet record for high jumping, 6 feet 2'j inches. Also he holds the junior high rec-ord of 5 feet 8 inches... Although hampered by mud and rain, he cleared the bar at 5 feet 8 inches in the meet against the Cubs. He took first in the high hurdles and second in the broad jump and low hurdles. Also an outstanding bas-ketball player, he gained all-sta- te recognition this year in the state tourney. Page won the admiration of the fans in clearing the hurdles. A poor start in the high hurdles pre-vented him from finishing in his first start. However, in running for third place, his time was faster than his team mates. Incidentally, it was the first hur die race that Lloyd has ever lost in his high school career. Track fans are looking ahead and once again anticipating anoth-er meet against the Davis Darts. HR Net Tourney Nears Completion Golf, Track Contests Anticipated Following a program designed to encourage every boy to follow some spring sport, the physical ed-ucation department and SAM are sponsoring a mass track meet, with May 22 named as a tentative date, and a golf tournament, which will begin Monday. Golfers turned out 30 strong in response to Russell Mears' call for swatters. According to Coach Gil-bert, Russ has secured special rates for the fellows to play on the Nib-le- y Park course. Medal style of play will be used, Russ announced. The general ob-jection to match play was that it would take too long to complete. All Invited to Track Meet All fellows in school, with the emphasis placed on Rookies, are invited to come out and join in the events of the mass track meet. Events will follow the general pattern of a city meet, except that the longest run will be the 220. An eight-poun- d shot wil also be substituted for the 12 pounder usually employed. Attention Cubs! Dear Cubs: Just recently a junior Scribe staff was selected to take over the responsibilities of editing the 1942-194- 3 South Scribe. The positions of Editor, Associate v Editor, tiews feature, social editors, and many other major positions, were filled. However, one very important editor was '"' missing, that was SPORTS ED-ITOR. Now, Cubs, It wouldn't be a very interesting school paper without a sports page, would it? The position of sports editor is probably the most colorful and exciting position on a newspaper. Being sports editor entitles you to sit with the scorekeepers in a basketball game; sit on the bench with the players in a football game; and all other athletic events. So, don't hesitate, Cubs. Come into room 120 and see me or Mr. Victor. If you need any help, we will assist you in any way ppssible. But, please hurry and tryoufr for the position of SPORTS EDITOR. r G. TASHIMA. SAM Joust Enters Quarter--finals Almost halted by rains and weather, third round matches in the SAM tennis tour-nament are nevertheless being completed this week and will be followed by quarterfinal matches Monday. Coach Gilbert reports that the matches are running well, with winners reporting scores promptly to him. Results and advancement of in-dividual playes are tabulated on the gym bulletin board, always ac-cessible to anyone wishing to note progress of games. At present, several players are showing up according to early promise and few "dark horses" have been spotted. Deane Christen-se- n has been nominated already by observers as a probable final match choice. Tennis lettermen are not, of course, competing.

South Netmen Fare Well in Provo Matches South's racquet representatives in the annual meet held at Provo turned in a very satisfactory per-formance. The senior doubles team of Frank Davidson and Fred Weid-ne- r fought their way to the sem-ifinal round. At that point, West's doubles team trounced the two Cubs, 6-- 4, 6-- 3. Cyprus and Bear River were the victims of Frank and Fred's steady and smooth clicking drives. Dick Brower, Junior Man Fighting Dick Brower, South's number one singles player, had a bye the first round. Although he ut up a gallant fight, a Logan ace defeated him. Juniors Taste Defeat Billy's junior courtmen tasted defeat in their second performance at the hands of the Leopard squad. Dependable Dick Brower contrib-uted South's lone victory as the Leopards overwhelmed the John-son boys by a 2 to 1 count. The senior matches were can-celled due to the Provo Invitational track and field carnival held the same day. The games will be play ed at a later date. Nice Going, Folks! When the Davis high school track team came to the Cub field, a very large number of students turned out to watch the cinder tilt. The turnout was probably the larg-est numper even to attend a spring sports game. Any Cub trackster will say that it was quite a sight to see such a number watching him perform. Keep it up, Cubs. Every ounce of support and loyalty is vital in any game, whether it's a track, baseball or tennis game. It's the support of the student body that counts. In the meet tonight, ev-erybody ought to be out there cheering for the tracksters and help smack the Leopards. , Don't let the athletes down. |
