The boys plll their noses to the grindstone and surprised the fans with a rip-roaring, winning team, and a total of 188 points against 184 Olll of seven games. The Cubs brought honor to the Alma Mater when they were invited to the Lyon tournament. To everyone's surprise, the boys won the game against the popular Zachary live by a margin ol' 21-18. XVe also won the St. Aloysius game by a total ol' 23-20, but the tables were turned when Pride beat us. -10-36. XVith confidence, the boys paeked up and lelt lor the Lutcher tournament. At this tourment, the boys showed their ability by winning it. As a result, the Cubs presented the student body with a trophy that spoke louder than words. Destrehan, Lutcher, Catholic High, Donaldsonville and Hahnyille were the teams University High matched skill with and beat. The Cubs had in 1939 the best athletic season that has been known at U.H.S., especially was the basketball team successful. The student body is indeed proud of the teams which were so suecesslul, owing to the efforts ol the coaeh and man- agers. THE CUB FORTY-THREE

Under the skillful eye of Coach L. L. Fulmer the twenty-four scrubby looking University High boys started an early fall football practice-ready, willing, and able. At first the boys seemed rather doubtful, but after working and training they turned out to be a skillful winning team. Playing seven games, they chalked up six wins to one loss and made a total score of I30 to 39. Not all the boys could be on the first team, but the twelve substitutes didn't mind as long as they could help make the team stronger by playing scrub against them to give them practice. This second string consisted of the younger and smaller boys who certainly earned the honor along with the first string and in years to come will carry the name of University High across the touchdown lines. Jack Stewart served as captain, while NVylie Barrow became high scorer, making 73 points and turning out to be most valuable player. All teams have managers, therefore U.H.S. had three mighty managers. These three boys were -john Ifrancioni, Bob Shea, and Clayton Sanders. INDEPENDENCE I3-U.H.S. 6 U.H.S. packed their bags and drove over to Independence, La., to open the I938 season. Iieing their first game, the boys were shaky and lost the game by a score of I3 to fi. XVylie Barrow crossed the line for the only touchdown going to STATE SCHOOL FOR DE.-XF, 0-U.H.S., I2 The State School for Deaf team came to the U.H.S. field for a rip-roaring game. The whole student body turned out to see the Cubs cross the line twice, beating the Mustangs I2 to 0. XVylie Barrow and Le Roy Cianelloni made the two scores with the help of a much improved line. NENVMAN, 0-U.H.S., 26 After a week of intense practice the Cubs motored to New Orleans to play Newman High. The boys chalked up another victory there. The line made holes large enough for a bread truck to go through, and the backs took advantage of these. The boys had now begun to cooperate, which made their style of play more dlmm' SLIIJELL, 7-U.H.S., is Again the Cubs packed their equipment and hit the road to add another vic- tory to their growing list. In each game the team seemed to grow slrtlllgel' and stronger. Harry XVilkerson and Jack Stewart were both doing a good job of blocking and tackling. Slidell worked hard and got their 7 points, but U.H.S. worked still harder and took IS. ST. JAMES, 7-U.H.S., III The St. James eleven crossed the river to battle against the fast improving Cubs. Captain -lack Stewart led his ten husky players to a ISI-7 victory. The line opened the holes for the fast backs to dash through to the victory line. JUNIOR HIGH, 0-U.H.S., I9 Again the boys carried the orange and black to victory against Junior High. The Coach played every man that he had on the bench in this game to keep the score down and to give the smaller members a chance to play. The boys crossed the line three times and made one extra point to add to our football history. DON.-XLDSONVILLE, I2-U.H.S., 20 Last-but not least-the Cubs took the Donaldsonville Frenchies for a ride. The U.H.S. eleven proved that their style of play was of the best brand by this feat. In the third quarter of the game Le Roy Cianelloni fell while trying to catch a pass, thrown by XVylie Barrow, and broke his right arm in two places. Due to the lack of reserves we had to shift our right guard, Captain -lack Stewart, to the fullback position. Here we felt that he was a great success because he made the touchdown that he had been trying to make for the four years previous. The boys took their work seriously, keeping the rules of sportsmanship al- ways in mind. Their knowledge of fair play made their victories and loss a glory to the school. University High student body is proud of its hne football players and their victories. U.H.S. FORTY Two , THE CUB
