'F l Olsego Resume of Season The usual nemesis that seems to pursue Central's chances at the beginning of the season settled down as usual when Jack Hodgson. Bob Leavenworth. and Bud Crabill were lost to the squad. and at least ten other fellows gauged likely material either moved out of the city or to another school. or failed to show up for practice. But Coryell took matters in hand and had whipped a light. rather inexperienced team into a formidable outfit at the start of the season proper. The boys found the sod at Houseman Field to their liking. though practices were soon held in the new practice field. a new gift from Mrs. Amberg. After the usual sand-burr-picking. the new turf was thoroughly initiated. Houseman Feld. with its new sod and new bleachers on the north and east is now by far the best high school stadium in the city. and rapidly approaching the best in the state. It easily accom- modated the largest crowd which carrie for the Muskegon game. The opening game found Otsego. our old friends. out on the field ready to do a good job against Central. Their huskies had rather fair ability in all departments. but Central easily pierced their defense. and ran the score up to 40. Ran the score up is just about it. for Riker made one long run. and Roseberry and Geiser both ran the ends. the middle. and various other parts of 0tsego's anatomy with swiftness and despatch. The upstaters hailing from Big Rapids furnished the next workout for Central. They took the home trail grieving that they had lost 32-0. but proud that they had put up a game fight all the way. Rosie -Roseberry is called by no other name- contributed twelve points by stepping high and fast to two touchdowns. Ceiser, Deane. and Jones each followed Rosie's excellent example with a six-pointer each. and . rt-R. Q!

It-. i - LHIISIDHQ Cappy Lyon and Sutfin added two points after touchdowns. Which disposed of Big Rapids. The largest score of the season. 52-0, was made against Technical. erstwhile Vocational. The reserves. in the game during the first three-fourths. made 26 points: when the regulars had their exercise in the last quarter they duplicated the 26 to make the total of 52. Toread0r Montez galloped half the length of the field for a little excitement for the rather bored spectators. The Lansing game created a lot of excitement. although it was an out-of-town affair. If we could beat Lansing. we'd be somebody everybody thought. So a large representation from Grand Rapids was in the stands when the whistle sent both teams after each other at the first of the game. And it was a real game. too. Lansing proved itself superior only by one foot. in fact. by only one toe. and that toe was on the foot of Dutch Leonard. who kicked two field goals. enough to give Lansing the verdict. Central played a great game. twice losing the ball after getting it as far as the live-yard line. whence the inimitable toe of Leonard kicked it out of danger. Catholic furnished the most exciting and most satisfactory game from a Central point of view. The two teams. the lightest in the city. were evenly matched-very much so in fact. The ball played hide and seek between the two teams for most of the game. but finally Ed Geiser got his talons on it and plowed through for the only points oi the game. with the end of the game a matter of seconds. Then on rushed mighty South. with loud proclamations of past prowess and future glories. The heavier. older. more experienced team from Hall St. was going 4: e 6,215 '-1 .
