out all Fall, a blazing sea of autumn glory, glow- ing oranges and browns-a brilliant prelude to the death of the year .... Days coming faster, ending more quickly, flying by . . . Warning winds, and quickening pulses .... Murmuring voices rising shrill to fling their challenge to the breeze .... Shouting forth with all the irresponsible mirth and empty joy of youth .... Shouting proudly for their team, their school .... From the football field come the cheers of the fans .... Cheers for the sprinting team piling up a heavy lead . . . For all the crisp impact of life which symbolizes Autumn .... Down the Held marches the Trailblazer eleven, as the eyes of Central follow unwavering .... On the bench, the team crouches tensely waiting for the word from Coach Buck Weaver, as he paces the sidelines . . . Through the haze of passes, punts, and sprints, certain impressions fix upon the mind, waiving forgetfulness .... Like that of Graham Landau breaking through Northern's line for a sweeping seventy-five yard touchdown to open the season, and high-scorer Suzy Weinstein, adding thirteen points to this tally .... Of holding Cooley, the city champs, to the smallest score of their season .... Of break- ing the powerful aerial offense of Redford to a tune of 7-0, and following this triumph the following week by fighting up and down a murky Northwestern field, to bring home a muddy victory worth 13 points, North- western piling up mud, but no score .... Of Paul Doc Brickman racing onto the field to render first-aid to some injured player who had fallen in the line of duty .... And Captain Milt Lucow, always there, fighting gamely .... But uppermost looms the memory of the Central-Wilbur Wright Classic .... For the boys whose individual pictures surround the football page, it was the last high school game as well as the final contest of the sea- son, and the team really meant to make the most of it .... Marty Levine who prior to this had not been in a varsity game was in the starting line-up, and astonishingly came through with two touchdowns .... Then for the first time in his high school football career Captain Milt Lucow tucked the pig- skin underarm for two scores. Following these surprises, Coach Weaver strode up to the bench and called Gerie,', but no one answered. Then Gerie Krause who for three years had warmed the bench popped up and entered the game. After this, the jubi- lant crowd was ready to believe anything. By far the best sight of the afternoon was the scoreboard, which at the sound of the final gun read 33-0. Then the unsung heroes, the freshmen, under Coach Ralph Loefiier. Their out- standing game of the season was the Cooley tilt. The Cardinals led during the first three quarters by a single touchdown. In the latter part of the fourth quarter, Cooley took the ball-fumbled it over their own goal. Central's Murray Resh recovered for Alma Mater and tied the score. A trick con- version by Berman Kinsel, Wociella, and Mouradian won the extra point and the game. Sol Ireyis punting kept the Cardinals away from the Blazers, goal line. Passing, sprinting, punting, charging, all in a blaze of color .... Football .... Fall .... qEwvm:,,,,..- wx .Lam
