Howard W. "Soup" Cable (April 4, 1913 – February 19, 1995) was an American professional basketball player.[1] He bypassed college basketball after graduating from high school and jumped right to the professional ranks, first with the Akron Firestone Non-Skids (1937–1941) and then to the Toledo Jim White Chevrolets (1941–42).[1][2] Cable led the Non-Skids to consecutive National Basketball League championships in 1938–39 and 1939–40.[2] In both of those seasons he was named to the All-NBL First Team.[1]
