Soufrn ITIGH ANNUAL One of the bright stars ofhthe high school league was Robert Grady, South 's tieet halfback. He was a consistent ground gamer and was selected on the All- High team. . ,T , , I , Y 1 . V - -Qail XX allace, sub fiom last 5ea1,.tu1ned out to be a bear at the tackle position, butldue to a broken leg sustained in a practice tilt with Trades, was entirely elnmnated from All-High honors. I The task of blocking was assigned to Carl Heinz, who was well educated ifp art. He was an accurate passer and could be depended upon to carry .ie a . A -boy who showed first class form in his first year of high school football Ea? Millard Hussey, who proved himself to be a Ht running mate of Richard mu 1. Eli Haraeh, South 's utility baekiield man, could be depended upon to till perfectly any position in the backfieldg his work at quarterback being especially outstanding. One of the fine quarterbacks of the city was Ervin Carlisle, who was the hardest fighting player on the Blue and Gray squad. He was a steady player as well as being a dependable ball toter, and will be a Hrst class candidate for every All-High team next year. The center position caused Coach Bash lllUCl1 difficulty. Louis Swortz, Henry Schmidt, and lVillis Powell were all capable of handling the position with equal ability, but due to the fighting spirit of Swortz, he was generally given first call. Because of an injury sustained in practice Roy Vfilhelm was kept out of the regular lineup in a few games. He started the season as a guard and later was developed into a tackle, which position he handled well. H Due to the fine array of tacklers, NVillis XVelker was not needed much, but after the accident which occurred to Wlallace, he was immediately put in the regular tackle position and proved himself to be a real player. Another man who was denied the chance of showing his wares in the sea- son was Justus Koch. He was called upon to play in many games and always displayed high class form. The grid squad was well supplied with beefy guards, Richard Hodges and Francis Deshler were in the starting lineup, with Frank Xllorkmaster and Louis Stallsmith always ready on the sidelines. Wfilliam Barton, playing the end position, was probably the best forward pass receiver on the Blue and Gray grid machine, the great defensive work of Ruh and Hussey keeping him on the bench as a substitute. Elmo Hulbert was the smallest member of the team. Although being handi- capped by his small stature, he made a iine showing. An excellent substitute for an excellent player is Edgar Smith, who plainly displayed his wonderful offensive ability in the Delaware game, the exceptional work of Pettibone preventing him from earning the coveted S, Sam Levy, Vic Pearce, Russel Harrison, Jacob Feil, Bill Johnson, Richard Mulbarger, Herbert Kull, Jacob Helm, and Paul Matthews are men who dis- played ability but lacked the experience of the regulars. Most of them will be back next year, fighting hard for a position on the starting lineups. Of the men who tried out for the manager 's position, Howard Kielmeyer proved to be the best and most dependable and rightfully earned his manager's letter. 99

SOUTH :HIGH ANNUAL CHARLES PETTIB ONE Charles Pettibone was probably South 's most outstanding athlete of the past school year. He came to South from Ashville, Ohio, where he was a star 1n all major sports for three years. This was Pettibone's iirst and only year in local high school competition as he graduates in June. He participated in the three branches of major sports -football, basketball, and baseball--excelling in each. He was chosen for the fullback position on the local All-High teams in ad- dition to receiving a silver loving cup designating Southls most valuable foot- ball player. This cup will be placed in the trophy case and is to be presented annually to the most valuable player, whose name will be engraved upon it. In basketball he led his teammates in scoring and was sixth among the lead- ing individual scores of the city. His fine showing in the Central Ohio Tourna- ment Won for him the position as center on the All Central Ohio Team. He started out in baseball with a bang and although the Annual went to press too soon to account for his record in that sport, he will have maintained in all probability his previous reputation and made an excellent first baseman. Pettibone after graduating from South will enter either Ohio NVesleyan or Drake University. He will, no doubt, establish records at college which will reflect honor upon South High. 166
