September 11, 1964 SHAMROCK Irish Prepared For Big Season . ,T V TM.- r» - — n + (i= irtiQr fiTp Mr. Robe Head football coach, Mr. Wil liam Smith, will have a nucleus of 25 letternien from last year ' s team to hopefully form a city championship winner. Fifty-seven boys, in all, have answered the call: 17 seniors, 24 juniors, and 16 sophomores. Having- at least two letter winners at all spots except full- back, all positions are wide open and everyone is battling hard for the starting posts. Jim McKiernan (L), John Teders (L), and Bill Weber (L) are all eager for the nod to start as center. Competing for the guard spots are no less than seven players: Paul Schoenle (L), Don Schroe- der (L), and Don Kimes (L) along with Jim DeRose, Mike Gage, Tom Roach (L), and John Roussel (L). Tackles Stan Sitko (L) and Denny Weissert (L) are being pushed hard by Keith Groman (L), Rick Lobrillo (L), and John Main. Battling at ends are Bill Frantz (L), Mike Pranger (L), Steve Smith (L), also Dan Phil- lips (L), and Steve Neizer. Ron Stanski (L) is being threatened at the quarterback spot by Terry Martin (L). At the halfback slots are Stan Dilley (L), Tony Kolarik (L), Bob Schaab (L), Mike Statz (L), and Neil Kobi. Challenging Bob Boedecker (L) at the fullback position are sophomores Dave Dowden and Lee Gorman. Coach Smith feels, basically we have the foundation for a fine ball team, but it ' s going to take a lot of work to achieve the success the team is capable of. Ably assisting Coach Smith this year are Mr. Robert Bakle, Mr. Michael Mitchell, and Mr. James Delaney, all returning from last year, and Mr. Edward Morris, a gradviate from St. Joseph ' s College. (L) indicates letterman. This year ' s schedule is as fol- lows: Fri.,Sept. 11 — Concordia Sat., Sept. 19 — Muncie South Sat., Sept. 26 — South Bend St. Joseph ' s Sat., Oct. 3 — South Bend Central Fri., Oct. 10 — Bishop Luers Fri., Oct. 16 — Central Fri., Oct. 23 — North Side Fri., Oct. 30 — Anderson Fri., Nov. 6 — South Side Indicates home game New Gridiron Coach Is Dayton Graduate CC is most fortunate to have Mr. William Smith, University of Dayton standout, as the head football coach for this coming season. Mr. Smith graduated from Hamilton Catholic High School in Hamilton, Ohio. After serv- ing in the Army he entered the University of Dayton. There he filled the halfback spot being named the most valuable player as a junior and piloted the team in his senior year as the captain. Adrian Central High School was Mr. Smith ' s first coaching assignment. After two years, and a very respectable won-lost record, he returned to the Uni- versity of Dayton to take over the freshman squad for two years. Mr. Smith then became the head backfield coach for three years before coming here to start his first year as coach for CC. I am very much impressed with CC, says Coach Smith. Together with my wife and four children, I find all the peo- ple of Fort Wayne very con- genial. kt7r ' ed ' al,oNe .. a ..egmcat of CC ' s rugged football team after one of their bruising practice sessions.

With this new season and the strong squad that CC has, I would like to ask you a question. How does a school re- ceive the title of Football Champion? Is it through the efforts of the flashy, high scoring offense or that stone wall defense? Is it that solid bench strength or the bril- liant coaching? All of these things are needed and even more. The support of the principal, faculty and parents is needed. The cheerleaders, cheering block, and fans should be included, also. CC has everything that is needed to bring the title home. The Big Irish have a good offense, tough de- fense, a strong bench, and brilliant coaching. CC has the support of the princi- pal, faculty and parents. The purple and gold have excellent leadership in their five cheerleaders. Everyone is ready and everything is prepare d. However, there is one last hurdle. Are you ready to do your part? Are you joining the Central Catho- lic team ? Now is the time to take your stand. If you are with the team, buy a season tic- ket and dig in for a rough schedule. Attend the games with a strong voice and let everyone know who you are for by chanting the cheers. When you hear the band strike up, Cheer, Cheer For Old CC High, sing out with everything you have. The great cause for which the entire team is fighting will then be truly realized. 27

Freshmen Proceed With Goal In Mind CC. The class of ' 68 is off to a great start in its first year at As freshmen, they have represented themselves well in the field of scholastics, with many obtammg a place on the honor roll. They have readily participated in extracurricular ac- tivities including such organizations as the Art Club, SSC, and the Red Cross. In sports, too, manv promising frosh have turned out for football, basketball, wrestling, and track. Although there are not too many sports for girls, a large percentage belong to the GAA, and there is always a group of enthusi- astic gals on hand to cheer the boys on. Though confused and perplexed upon entering CC, they now see clearly their goal of becoming an outstanding class atCC.
