Page Eight THE KENTUCKY HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETE FOR APRIL, 1955

The Flying DutchmanIt is James "Cap" Caudill of Atherton Hig-h

School who joins the Parade of Game Guys and is the

winner of the Game Guy Plaque of 1955. "Cap" Cau-dill and Coach Junie Jones of Atherton, who took

such an interest in the physically handicapped young-ster, can be justly proud of this honor which wasnationally recognized in Sports Review as one of the

finest achievements which can come to a Kentuckyhigh school athlete.

Take a look at the achievements of this fig-hting

lad whose right arm is only three-quarters its normallength and is so poorly developed that the same con-

dition would have discouraged many young men of

less courage. Couple this with the fact that "Cap" is

only 5/ 8" tall, weighing only 140 pounds, and youwill readily agree that the annual Flying DutchmanAward has to go to him for setting an examplewhich inspires other young men, despondent becauseof handicaps, to keep carrying on the fight.

Here's the picture. In 1951-52 he played J. V. foot-

ball, winning his letter and playing in every game. In

1952-53 he played baseball, pitching a no-hitter for

the V.F.W. Post 3636 and having a record of fourgames won and none lost. The same year he playedvarsity football as a halfback and pitched on the

Atherton High School baseball team. In 1953 heagain had a perfect year as a pitcher, losing nogames, and was given a try-out with the Little

Colonels. Then in 1953-54 he turned to basketball andcaptained the Audubon Methodist Church basketball

team which won the championship of Louisville.

The Dutchman doffs his hat to the Game Guy of

1955, Atherton's "Cap" Caudill, who showed theworld that fight and determination plus a little en-

couragement from interested adults can make happykids of handicapped boys who in turn render sei-vice

by the inspiring example they set.

Now for some Kentucky sportsmanship whichplaces Kentucky's high school athletic program on asound foundation and causes it to be praised far andwide. Abou Ben Adhem certificates have gone to

Jarvis Parsley and His Bracken County crew, andMaurice Jackson's Clark County gang on recom-mendation of Gene Neal who had to work theBrooksville-Clark County game alone when BobMiller was unable to get there because of icy roads.Both Maurice and Jarvis took time to explain to

their boys that Gene would have to work alone andto give him due consideration. According to Genethere has never been any sportsmanship anywhereto top the performance turned in by both ClarkCounty and the Bracken County kids that night.

LaRue Sosh calls for an Abou Ben Adhem awardto be sent to Louie Litchfield for outstanding sports-manlike conduct in the Livingston County-Critten-den County game when his decision was the factorwhich caused Crittenden County to lose a "Blood andThunder" game. It was Louis who was the first onthe floor to tell LaRue that he had worked one ofthe best games he had ever seen, and that his kidsand people could lose close ones on an official's de-cisions, without pushing the blame for defeat on thearbiter. You just can't top guys like Louie Litchfield,anyway.

Referee John Heldnian wants recognition of theoutstanding conduct of Simpsonville's Kenny Tinglewho impressed him grreatly throughout every close

State Basketball Tournament Trophies

and Awards

game he played in. Said John, "This kid knows howto take adverse decisions and be a man." So youDutchman fans can see that in Kentucky it is notonly sportsmanlike coaches and superintendents, buthundreds of tough boy competitors as well.

Bowling Green's Barkus Gray is in the sportsman-ship life-light. In fact, Barkus has been there eversince the Dutchman worked the first game of hisofficiating career for him at Brownsville in 1928when this great guy was coaching at WoodbuniBrethren. This Dutchman will never forg-et thatnight, nor two great fellows. Coach Gray of Wood-burn and Coach DeMunbrun of Brownsville.

Back to Barkus, though, we want to tell you thathe has won an Abou Ben Adhem for his BowlingGreen school on the recommendation of refereesRalph Hobbs and Roy Settle. These two whistlerscalled H. B. Gray "tops." Ralph and Roy, workingthe district and regional tournaments at BowlingGreen, never wanted for cokes, towels, soap, enter-tainment or anything. Barkus simply stamped him-self as "Mr. Public Relations of Kentucky."

Let's close on a wonderful tribute to Kentucky'sofficiating by Dean Eagle, Sports Editor of theLouisville Times, who said this to the Dutchman:"After watching officiating at the N. I. T. in NewYork and in surrounding areas, I am convinced thatKentucky's high schools have the best officiatingI have observed." Brethren, Dean can say that againbecause, by overwhelming opinion, the officiatinghe saw at this year's state tournament substantiatedhis remark.

ing group from Henderson Barret was run-ner-up, and the Mayfield cheerleaders re-

ceived honorable mention.

The cheerleaders were judged on the fol-

lowing: 1) Appearance—neatness and goodgrooming, 2) Ability to execute the yells,

3) Ability and effort displayed in control

over own rooters, 4) Appropriateness of thechoice of yells, 5) Conduct while in uniform,6) Pep and enthusiasm displayed during thecheers, and 7) Sportsmanship toward oppon-ents and officials.

Style of cheerleading was not taken into

consideration in the judging. Six of thecheerleading groups were not eligible for theaward because the Association had not re-

ceived confirmation that the cheerleaderswere being chaperoned during their stay atthe tournament by an individual appointedand approved by the school authorities.

President Oakley and Berea Cheerleaders

Many favorable comments concerning theaward were heard from individuals and frompress and radio. It is the hope of the As-sociation that this award will be an incentive

for better cheerleading and better sports-

manship throughout the state.

Kentucky Federation of High School Girls Sports AssociationBy Martha G. Carr

We have good news to report this month. Mem-berships are beginning to come in now for our newassociation which promises to be one of the beststeps forward for physical education in this state.

The G. S. A. at College High, Western TrainingSchool, with Miss Betty Langley as Adviser, shouldhave the gold star for sending in its school member-ship first. Other early registrations have been re-

ceived from Bowling Green High, Walton-VeronaHigh, Lafayette Senior High, Lexington, BellevueHigh and Lloyd High of Erlanger. Welcome to theFederation and congratulations on your early start.

For those of you who are in the process of or-

ganizing your Girls Sports Association, you mayneed a little help in writing a constitution. Hereare a few suggestions along that line. First, writeout the purposes of your association. They mightbe stated somewhat like these:

1. Development of leadership2. Participation in physical and social recreation3. Improvement of skill

4. Provision of an intramural program5. Provision for co-recreational activities

Next things to consider will be:1. The name of your organization (It can be

named anything which means the same as ourstate association)

2. Membership requirements3. Financing

a. preferably by school fundsb. by approved money raising activitieis

c. by dues (if this does not keep some girls

from belonging)4. Meetings. What is the purpose of meetings ?

When will they be held?5. Officers and executive council

6. Election of officers

7. Duties of officers

8. Point systems and awards9. Amendments

10. By-lawsBe sure to start with a simple constitution, the

simpler the better. Add things as they come uprather than trying to have a complicated plan that

you can't carry out. Everything should be on a trial

basis for the first year. Awards and point systemsfor awards should not be developed right at first.

You may not need them to get participation fromyour girls. If not, you will find you have avoideda lot of problems and bookeeping. Try to planthings that lots of girls can enter into rather thantrying for just one or two teams.

Teams and Tournaments: If you can get a fewteams set up this spring in any activity which theyalready know, you can start a small tournament andget lots of interest which should carry over to yourprogram next fall. Here are a few pointers aboutteams and tournaments:A. The organization of teams and the type of tour-

nament selected for participation will depend on theinterests of the girls, facilities, the size of thegroup, time available, and the activity.

B. The teams should be so organized that they areof equal ability and should provide equal competi-tion for all teams. The teams may be organized in

various ways:1. A student-faculty committee may make the

selection.

2. A student committee may make the selec-

tion, subject to the approval of the adviser.

3. Captains or sports managers may make theselections.

4. Class teams may be used.
