Kowalski E.-Beagle K. Beagle Spaniola team knocked on Lansing's goal three times and three times they were stopped. At last. Eastern's Iron Men gave way and Ann Arbor crashed their way to a 6 point victory. Four days after the Ann Arbor Defeat. Central's Big Reds were met for the city champion- ship. The four year old feud was renewed and the greatest battle of the year was on. From the thud of the hrst kick-off to the loud report of the iinal gun the teams drove, tackled. blocked. and ran as if possessed by demons. Central proved their worth by scoring a touchdown before five minutes of the game had been played. But Eastern proved its fighting spirit by holding the Big Reds on even terms. Near the close of the first half, Henry Fine broke loose on a double pass behind the line and ran within a yard of the goal line. Central was thrown off balance and John Turik found a gap, opened by Kruszewski and Swartz, to crash for a touchdown. The score stood 6-6 at the rest period. The third quarter the Fighting Quakers held the Big Reds on even terms. outplaying them at times. but when the final period got under way, Eastern's warriors gave way under the vigorous attack of Central and the West Side Boys pounded their way to an l8A6 victory. Thus. after two years as city champs. Eastern gave the coveted trophy to Central who won the City Championship, the Five A League Championship, and the State Championship. Only six men will be lost by graduation and with the return of tive lettermen and a host of reserves. a wonderful team can be expected in 1931.

Kowalski, Hulliberger, Roe VARSITY BASKETBALL Before the echoes of the Central-Eastern grid battle had completely died away, Coach XValter Graff issued a call for basketeers. Only two veterans were returning, John Turik and Leo Pricco. The material was promising and Coach Graff had a team of sophomores and juniors ready for the first game against the alumni on December 9. The alumni out- played the Quakers in every point of the game and after a hectic four periods the former Eastern Stars were victorious with a score of Z0 to Eastern's 13. The next night the lads were sorely outclassed by the Battle Creek live, and came trailing at the end of a 33 to 18 score. On December 16, they met the Bay City quintet in our gym: the inexperienced Quakers could not cope with the offense of the Up-State team and were administered a smart- ing defeat, 28 to 10. Determined lo break the series of losses the team turned their hearts to the game with Jackson's Vikings, When the two teams met on January 6, the Quakers gave all they had but for the fourth time they met defeat, bowing to the Vikings 9 to 4. The Ann Arbor cagers were Eastern's next opponents. Ann Arbor, one of the strongest teams in the state. kept the Quakers guessing throughout the game and covered the boys thoroughly. Eastern's boys fought a losing game but did not give up until the game was over and they were on the short end of the Z2 to 17 count. On January 20, Central was met at the Vocational Field House. Central had a team that was runners up in the 1931 State Tournament and did the same thing this season. Eastern's quintet had nothing but pluck and willingness to rely on, and what pluck they showed!
