1:-s V neth Iohnson. Indian Racqueteers ITY champs again! In l937, as in many succeeding years, Central's tennis men were crowned champions of the city high school conference. Wash- ington was the first victim of the Red and Black racqueteers, and in short order came Iohnson, Humboldt, our arch rivals, Mechanics, and Harding. In the second round ot the Conference the Minutemen repeated their earlier con- quest to keep intact the long string of champion tennis teams. Not satisfied with their enviable record, Mr. lohn Harp's proteges, lack Marsh, Harold Baldwin, Iudd Mulally, Vernon lohnson, Kenneth Iohnson, and Bud Gaertner, went in search of other tournaments in which to test their skill. After successfully proving themselves in the Carleton Meet at Northfield by tying for second place, Central's champions entered the individual meets of the state tournament and no longer played together as a team. Of all the members of the squad Captain lack Marsh was most successful in the state meet, winning for himself the title of state singles champion after some close and hard fought matches. The crowning achievement, however, came when Central's 1937 Hermann Athletic Trophy winner, Myron Lieberman, won the Northwest Tournament and became singles champion of the Northwest.
