A tennis o As his first step in the stress tennisl' campaign which the Ath- letic Department is fostering, Brother Robert Wagner, coach of the netsters, entered South Side in the National Scholastic Tennis Tournament, primarily for the pur' pose of finding and developing talent among the underclassmen. Tennis letters this year went to Morgan Perry, captain, Frank Moeller, Ken Knese, and Frank Doherty. Page P'tITlf Nl7lC o co-champions Although the varsity football team met disaster in the Prep League, the B sguacl burned up its division of the circuit and ended its sea- son deadlocked with C. B. C. for the title. There was no play-off, the teams preferring to share the championship. The Prep League B division includes South Side, C. B. C., McBride and Central Catholic. The Green Wave swamped McBride twice, 22-6 and l2-6, disposed of the East St. Louis eleven 13-O, and walloped C. B. C. 2l-5. South Side's only defeat was at the hands of Central Catholic. The second C. B. C. game ended in a scoreless tie. Outside its league, the team showed well, take ing the measure of every other B aggregae tion it met, and bowing only to varsity elevens from Southwest, Burroughs and DeSoto. Ac- cording to Coach Brother Iames Powers, the team's strength lay in two things: an excellent line and constant teamwork. No single player was outstanding on the Green Wave. As Brother lames put it, No individual starred- e the team starred. Rear: A. Michel, M. Perry, F. Moeller, F. Doherty, W. Walsh. Front R. Schroeder, P, Larsen, R. O'Leary, A. Burkenmeaer, T.

The Dragons' poor showing in league play was generally attributed to the fact that they were playing their first year in the big time. St. Louis U.

Still in its infancy, ten-man soccer has already been acclaimed by newspaper- men, coaches, athletes, even by local A.A.U. 1, 'Q ' The new game is fundamentally the same as '-1 'Q ' x, - it officials, as the tonic needed to revive soccer.
