Show Cub Talk By Frank James When the Cub seniors defeated East Friday, they duplicated the performance of another underrated 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. Previous 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 naturally na-turally let down after failing to win top honors and yet those teams showed enough spunk to go out and lick the overconfident Leopards. 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 f-i-g-.h-t 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 football 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. |
