They started the season off looking like a championship team, winning every game they played except against Dos Palos l26-l3l, the league champion this year. The Cubs started their winning streak against Ca- ruthers, beat them T9-6, then the Cubs played their rival school, Kerman, and walked over them with ease, T9-O. Orosi then came to Central looking for a victory and left with a big defeat, 20-0. San Joaquin Memorial, also a rival school was mercy of the Cubs -140- T2-O. El Capitan a new comer in the N. S. L. put on a good fight for a newcomer in the N. S. L. but not good enough for the high riding Cubs. l33-20l. Then came the day the J. V. players will never forget, winning that game would have given the Cubs the Champ- ionship. 26-13. Then came the last game of the season, the Cubs found that they were tied with Vifashington Union for second place. The Cubs after getting over their first defeat of the season, came back to give Washington a big defeat. That victory gave the Cubs sec- ond place inthe N. S. L.
