Al Jfietwwoa ' -v J la 1 E S E 5 I E E E E E E JOH Ns'ro N-Bdfk lVIurray's biggest fault was that he went so fast that he not only puzzled the opposing team but our team also. When on ordinary dry land, he is quite a respectable young man, but when he was in a game he fought and ran from the first whistle to the last. The game over, he was once again the plain, peace- able Murray. PUTNAM-End Just where and when Diana origi- nated, just why he happened to be out of jail during the football season, and just how he managed to get into Central are vague uncertainties, but his grace in covering kicks and catching passes was a sight for sore eyes. He has even been known to go through the motions of a swan dive and still retain the ball. A'rcH1soN-End and Bark Charlie played end and back on the team and took a fiendish delight in muti- lating the opposing play ers. He has been known to tackle an adversary just to hear him grunt! Charlie was also an expert on some of the practice exercises and would be a good Charlestoner if he were bold enough. Dicxiai-Guard Dickey s cardinal virtues are in his hair. That such a youngster should be playing high school football comes as quite a shock but what Red lacks in years he makes up for in size and ambi- tion. He hopes to become an all-state tackle some day and he has the courage of his convictions.

So sayeth not Skinner, He is one of the few mortals who serves successfully two masters. The First and best known is football. That he does this justice, no one questions. The second, and ifpossible greater, is his appetite. That he does this justice, no one who knows him can question. To LA NDQEHJ Toward the end of the season Toland became quite a familiar sight on the field, and his black cap, though hardly serviceable as a headgear, did very well to mark him from the other members of the team. All through the season Toland gave a good example of hard playing and good sportsmanship. GARRETT-f'uamf and fafklz' An injured hand kept Carrett out of several games that he would have other- wise been in. But when he was in there could be no doubt that he knew h's game. Plenty of experience made him 1 very valuable player. Garrett s favor- ite occupation between games was to Hy airplanes. Moom -Bark It is universally granted that if any other player had as big feet as Baxter he might have '1 chance of equalling him in kicking. But then players who wear a Number IO shoe are rare.This eel-hipped runner s specialty was not to be where the opposing tackle expected him to be. Baxter also made more non-scoring touch- downs than anw other man in this part of the state. 4,-gy i S 'S Q f E 5 1 as lllllllhu llhlllllllllllllllll llllllllllll Illl Illl Illlllllll lhl E if lilllllllllllllllllllllllllll Illl E 92 ... 5 llli Ulllllllllllll lllillllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllll 'lllllllllll l llllllllll Lllllll llll llllllll lllll li I i . .

The schedule was by far the hardest she ever had, and the record she made of seven victories, one tie and only three defeats made the school proud of her team. When practice started in September, Central's outlook certainly was not very' good. Vlith one letter man as a nucleus and plenty of new material Doc Simons began to form a team that was a surprise even to Central herself. On I riday September 2 5 the whole squad consisting of some forty members drove over to Conroe for the initial game. It had been raining all day and was still raining at noon when they started. By the time for the game the sky had cleared but the field was wet and muddy for the battle. lt was quite evident after the first few minutes of the game that Conroe could not score on us. However the team s lack of experience in working together soon showed up in Central, and although they could get the ball almost down to the enemy goal line thev always lost the ball there by a fumble. So while we carried the ball from one end of the field to the other by first downs they carried it from one end of the field to the other by fumbles and the game ended a. such games do in a o to o deadlock. The Conroe team even so must be praised for their grit and teamwork. ln the second game the 'I igers ran up against the strong and well-seasoned South End Bears. Old Sol did his share in the game and the held was almost unbearably hot from the start to the finish. South End fought nobly and there were several times when even Central supporters were dubious as to the outcome. A pass from Moody to lxattmann however saved the day and the game ended with South End holding to the zero of a 7 to o score. Central met the next victim Brackenridge High School at W est Fnd Park. lt was not without some misgivings that the team charged out onto the Held. The weather was fine and both teams were fit and ready for the game. The two elevens were well matched but the Brackenridge Eagles had not counted on Kattmann. His educated toe, as it was so often called paved the way to victory by kicking two well-placed ...+a.,- Q- N- KillllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllA gang iiuumnummnmnnmmninnnumnmnmumnuuimiU NCQ!
