He was tops in all departments of play. Oscar McConkie, combining heighth and brains with shooting skill, stole the center spot. He is an East man. West places Ashby on the junior dream team as a guard. .He was particularly well-drille- d on defense. Grant (Mac) Jenkins, South guard, a smooth passer and capable defensive player and long shot ar-tist, rated the last spot on the team. Second string: Madden, West, and ISackman, East, forwards. Fink, West, center. Keddington of South ans G leave of East at guards. "C" Division Tingey, South, forward, a good shooter and exceptional hustler. Hale of West, forward, a good shooter and team spark plug. Burt of West, pivot post, by far the exception center in the midget league. "Hot Shot" Piza of East, guard, the best man on East's team.. McLaren, South, guard. Best guard in the city in his loop. Second string: Thompson, South, and Young, East, forwards. Demke, South, center. Romano of West and Ingram of South at guards, j Although South high dropped the city casaba championship, the Cubs were pacesetters in the twelfth an-nual selection of an all-cit- y hoop team in Scribe. "A" Division Paul Roberts, South's diminutive bombshell, ranks tops as forward. Jim Woodward, an Easterner, led the city in individual scoring and so obtained the other forward slot. Bob Lence, another East man, stole the center position with his all around ability. Guard spots go to Eldon Story and Chick Woolf, of South. Story is heads and shoulders above any guard in the city in all depart-ments of play and Woolf is close behind. Scribe picks these boys for their fighting spirit and the pre-cision and accuracy with which they worked, together and individ-- 1 ually. Second string: Clair Empey, South, and Bob Lewis, East, for-wards. Wilkinson, West, center. Tony Tolich of West and Frank Brooks of East, guards. Honorable mentions are extend-ed to Lowder, South; North, South; Shirashi of West; Steele of West; Fred Lewis of East. "B" Division Tony Peterson, South forward, I Courtesy Salt Lake Telegram 1 Flashy fA' Team Takes Game Final Jimmy Gilbert's "five balls of fire" finished big three basketball competition Friday with a 31-2- 7 victory over the previously unbeat-en Ecide "A" team on the Cub court. . This victory, although too late to win the championship, definitely disproved the invincibility of East's "dream-team- ." After the terrific letdown the Cubs suffered follow-ing Dick North's ejection from the Leopard-Cu- b clash, side line prog-nosticato- rs predicted a poor show-ing when the two teams met again, especially since North had answer-ed the call of the armed forces and would not be available to spark his team on to victory. This is where the "bench-guess-er- s" missed the bus. Lowder Does Well Coach Gilbert called on "Dee-ber- " Lowder to take the forward slot and Dee came through very nicely. What South's student body prexy might lack in finesse and shooting ability was amply replac-ed by pure grit and determination. His before-the-gam- e speech on the student body assembly earlier Fri-day spurred the boys on and they jumped away to an early game lead, never to be headed. Some day the lads on the hill are going to learn not to stick their necks out quite so far when they say that South is a good winner, but a poor loser. Cubs Take West, 49-2- 7 After they drubbed West, 49-2- 7, in the season opener, the Cubs ran into plenty of trouble against Os-wald's men when they met at the Deseret Gym. For one half it was nip and tuck between the two fives with no more than four points sep-arating them at any time. South managed to gain the half-tim- e lead, but shortly after the second half opened North was ousted on fouls and the Cub attack fell apart. South failed to count a single field goal in the second period and fell before the Leopards, 35-2- 5. West's Panthers put up a good scrap against South in their sec-ond encounter, dropping a 34-2- 9 decision after staging a brilliant rally which fell just short of vic-tory. Yabbah Leads Scorers Paul (Yabbah) Roberts led Cub scorers during league play with a 35 point total closely followed by Eldon Story with 32. Clair Empey bucketed 26 for the season and Dick North made 21 in two games. Chick Woolf , the fifth member of the starting lineup, totaled only 14 points, but Chick played a Her-culean role in his backboard work. South's entry into the junior A. A. U. meet, which will take place March 16 to 20, gives Southerner fans more chances to support their team. Chances are that South might meet East in one of those games and this can well settle once and for all just who's best. Dance Yes. Walk? Yes. Sit? Yes. Woo? Yes. More ? Yes. Name? Fresh. Cub Talk By Frank James When the Cub seniors defeated East Friday, they duplicated the performance of another under-rated Southerner team. All of us can remember the surprise defeat Pat Ryan's men dealt Brooks, Sasaki and Co. last fall in the final football game of the season. Previ-ous to Friday as was also true prior to that final grid encounter, the Leopards reigned undefeated and were claimed invincible. Both times the Cubs were the psycological underdogs since the Leopards .had already taken the title. In other words, South na-turally let down after failing to win top honors and yet those teams showed enough spunk to go out and lick the overconfident Leo-pards. East may well claim that they were the ones to relax, but you can't tell me that a school like this, or any other school for that matter, would not drop to the depths after making an effort that they did to take the football title, or after holding the basketball crown for four straight years. Yessiree! win or lose, this school has still got the best spirit and downright of any school in these hyar regions. Dick North, Russ Graehl and Bud Newman, three highly regard ed fellows both in student life and in athletics recently left South for the armed forces. Dick, aside from being president of S. A. M., played a lot of foot-ball for Nate Long's midgets and was a star forward on the "A" team last fall. All of us wish all of them the best of luck and know that they'll do plenty to make Adolph and Togo (Bennie rates dishonorable mention) sorry they started it all. Nate's C Quint Winds Up 50-5- 0 Season By "Spider Woodward Ending a less glorious season with a 50 per cent final average, the South high C team handed in suits last Monday as the hoop sea-son closed. Looking-- over the scores for the year, we find the C team still to bebeaten on their home court. Having the toughest schedule of any Big1 Three school, the Cub Midgets looked mighty good all season but failed to take advant-age of the several breaks. This year the C team lost the glory of five years, no loses. They will be out to start a new winning streak next year. Captain Burton Tingey led his team mates and deserved a lot of credit for his splendid lead-ership ability. Bill Dempke, an-other Midget, played brilliant, ag-gressive basketball from his spot. Mc Laren Shines Keith McLaren, mainstay at guard ended a fine season, being another sparkplug of the squad. Walt Thompson, the littlest man on the squad seemed to be tne man Nate could count on. Lead-ing the other hoopsters in sev-eral games, he added much pow-er to the team. Max Ingram seemed to be another hard bas-kete- er to stop when he got go-ing. Other members of the squad who helped these boys are Rob-ert Sidwell, Keith "Brownie" Brown, Glen Davis, Jerry Grif-fith, Robert Nebecker, and other capable reserves. Lots of praise should be given to the C team. They fought a tough schedule. Ineligibility stop-ped a few of Coach Long's dreams for the season, but they fought to the end. Cubs Win First Game The C team started the season by winning the first tussle from the West crew, 42-1- 6. Being a little overconfident of another vic-tory, the East midgets quietly surprised the Cubs when they handed them their first defeat in five years. The following week in the tiny East gym, 20-1- 2. On another small court the West five turned back the midgets 28-2- 5. Writing finish in the proper way the "C" team defeated East on their own floor 24-2- 1, as the sea-son closed for the Cubs. 7 Rl LIGHTWEIGHT Wlt JJ WttfSSOfSMi AND WELTER- - v"-?-?
