Good dash and dis- tance men compensated for injuries and for weakness in field events. Outstand- ing were six individual records. Lou Muldrow ran the 440 at Charles City in fifty-four seconds. At the state meet Ted Knudson, another mid-distance man, ran the 880 in two minutes and six seconds. Buss Henschel did the mile in four min- utes and fifty seconds during practice. ln the dashes Bob Luedtke led the century men and twice ran the hundred in ten and three tenths seconds. ln field events Clark Bluske threw the discus l25 feet, and Dick Vance scored an upset by clear- ing the bar at five feet nine inches. Muldrow, Ted Knudson, Tom Knudson, Wuensch, Henschel, Vance, Luedtke, Michaels, Christianson, Larson, Garvalia Wills, Bluske, Schaumburger, Wedeking Huntington, and Kupferschmid earned letters.

With only two veterans returning, Coach Essock scanned the juniors for talent and by mid-season produced an all-junior infield, sparked by the stylish first sacker, Del Cass, whose nifty .SOG clip paced city batters. Off to a surprising start, Central copped two in a row before the roof fell in on them, dropping seven of their final eight con- tests. Even the added attraction of intra- city night baseball failed to lift the Raid- ers from the cellar of loop standings as they bowed twice to Aquinas, 4-l and 9-7. Lack of depth in the mound staff was sorely evidenced in the final three games when W. Huebner, Central's top chucker, opened on the mound three days in succession. L.C.'s went to Schneider, Cass, Voss, Ramlet, Terlson, Bellerue, Fregin, Solverson, Nutter, Evans, Huebner, and Schubert. Row: C. Williams, .ursui '. .cc w Tcrlson, T.

Page 92 The Girls' Athletic Associa- tion can still boast of being the largest girls' organization in Central. Many girls have G.A.A. pins or letters which they received by participating in different sports for a speci- fied amount of time. Officers and sports heads are elected at the beginning of the year. The club functions under a written constitution and is advised by Mrs. Bradford. Top Row: N. Lau - lmskctlmll, R. Karlmt - volley bull, N. Nelson -4ViC0-Bft'SlllClll' E. Junvs- swimming, l.

Basket Makers Every Wednesday evening during the months of December and January, the gym was alive with blue clad figures play- ing the ever popular game of basketball. At the beginning of the season ninety- five G.A.A. members organized eight teams identifying these teams by such colorful names as The Johnson Rags, The Pointers, and the Bouncing Babes. Each team battled for the cham- pionship by trying to win the greatest number of games. The sport was played in a Round Robin Tournament so that every team might play each of the others. After six weeks of strenuous effort on the part of all the girls ,the tournament ended in a tie between The Hungry Pointers and Garnet's Garters, the teams of Gloria Kline and Garnet Shorrel respectively. Since the end of the season made the playing off of this tie impos- sible, both teams received the title of champion. Janis Fink's team took third place. The games were student refereed. Nancy Lau was manager. Top Row: G. Shnrrcl, T. Eckert, J. Olson, R. Kzxbut, D. Nulwn, D. Scliinuckpcpa-r. Second Row: D. Schnnmchvr, ll. Bm-kan, M. l.cv4-n- doski, J. Slxuncsy, B. Erickson, B.
