UNDERCLASSMEN LEAD LOSING GRAPPLER TEAM Although the wrestling team tailed to win one of their nine meets this season, the team had some standouts of the conference who were constant point-gc-tters. Iim Fisher, who put on weight over the summer, was forced to change from the weight division in which he was undefeated last year. This didn't hamper him, though, as he stayed undefeated against this year and advanced to the regional meet. Nick Predvichny, 11 surprising newcomer, and lack Becker, the acting captain, also were outstanding. If all the underclass- men of the squad return, the next two seasons should he good ones. Mr. Iiamhenek replaced the ailing Mr. Dillon as coach hefore the season got under way. top HAMMER LEADS HARRIERS TO SUCCESSFUL SEASON This year's Harrier team was one of the strongest South has had in many seasons. Led hy senior Ion Hammer, a first-year man and one of the top runners in the city, the squad finished the season with a credit- able 5-4 record. There was only one runner in the city that was ahle to heat Hammer twice. VVarren Raiche, Steve Pearson and Mike King also turned in a good season. Coach Iohn Cummings said that his Harriers weren't at full strength until the meet with Voca- tional which was the lilith one of the sea'-on.

Thirteen seniors wound up their South football careers with a decisive 26-13 Win over North. The de- fensive play of Ierry Pautz, lim Sullivan, and co- captain lien Nolen had the Polars checked most of the day. Marv McClure plowed through the center of thc line for two Tiger scores. All-City halfback, Bill Brech- ler, opened the second half with an 85-yard touch- down run and passed to Dick McDonald for two other tallies. Mr. Butterwick huilt S0uth's offense around the pass receiving of two Hne ends, Dick McDonald and Eric Magdanz, and the running and passing of lowa City's gift to South, Bill Brechler. South had one of the city's most respected defenses built around Iim Sullivan, co-captain Ben Nolen, and the Tigers' most valuable player Ierry Pautz. BRECHLER HELPS South's cause by going through a big hole and gaining a hrst down against North. F95 f A v Q., M, J, I g x,., gl A W AN UNIDENTIFIED player ' 3 7 stops Fischer of Southwest.

SOUTH'S 'YOUNG' PUCKSTERS IMPROVE WITH AGE The pucksters opened this season with a 3-1 vic- tory over Vocational. The next three games were lost to Roosevelt, Henry, and Washburn respectively. In the Roosevelt game South's only goal was scored by Mike Alm. The Tigers snapped out of their losing streak to win the next two games. Ray Swanson was the hero of the Central game as he scored both of our goals. The Alms dominated the Marshall game with Tony Alm scoring two goals and Mike Alm scoring the only other one. Even though our game against Southwest was a defeat, goalie lim Puckett played his best game. ln the triumph over North, Mike Alm scored four of the squad's eight goals. Against Edison Mike and Tony Alm scored one goal each. The last game of the conference season was a 1-1 tie with West. In the Dis- trict 17 playoffs the pucksters lost a heartbreaker to Henry, 2-1. Ron Thomson scored the only goal as South played without its regular goalie, lim Puckett. Finishing fifth in the city standings, South's puck- sters showed marked improvement over last year's team. Brightening up this picture even more is the fact that there will be thirteen returning lettermen for the 1959-60 title race.
