Built up from the regular 10 game schedule, the new season promised more excitement and action for players and spectators. South opened up the regular season against Roosevelt once again, being defeated 4-0. South's first line, consisting of Doug Olson. Lee W agner, and Brian Puckett, was noted by conference coaches as being the strongest line in the city. This was proven by the fact that Wagner and Puckett held the second and third places respectively in the scorijig leaders throughout most of the season. With a four game winning streak. South met Southwest ami lost a heart breaker by a score of 5-3. South got 2 goals in the first 1 Vi minutes and led until the last 2 minutes of the game. With the score 3-2. South received a penalty, and Southwest took advantage of the opportunity, tying tin score 3-3. Then, with seemingly little warning. Southwest struck quickly 2 more times in the closing minutes. In District 17 play. South defeated Central again by a score of 6-2 in the quarter finals. Then, in the semi-finals. South met Roosevelt for a second time and was handed a 7-1 loss. On the All-City team. South again placed one man: Lee Wagner, senior Co-Capt. was named center on the first team. In building for next year's team Coach KogTs main problem will be on defense.
