TRACK Since the Central Tiger thinly clad team this year has been almost wholly made up of new material, and since inclement weather kept the cinder path men indoors until the Hrst meet with Marion, a resume of the 1928 season is not as attractive as in former years. Reim in the distance runs, Dornte and Babb in the high jump and pole vault, and Brockhall in the shot put, composed the nucleus aroundiwhich skipper Mendenhall has formed his squadron of Tigers this year. With only three meets be- fore the Northeastern Indiana conference contest, and then the sectional and state classics, the card this year provided six weeks of active track competition with the best squads in this section of the state. Handicapped by the lack of practice due to the weather conditions, the Central Tigers were taken down at Marion when the Giants won Hrsts in everything but the high jump and pole vault to win 60-20. South Side's gang of Kelly Klads provided the competition April 21. By virtue of Babb, Buggs, Hay, and Hire placing in their respective events, Central was able to down the Kellies. Nothing definite had been scheduled for theuweek of April 28, when this went to press, but Murray Men- denhall stated that a meet would be staged somewhere on this day. The N. E. Con- ference meet at South Side was run od May 5. The annual sectional and state meets were staged May 12 and 19 at South Side and the Butler field respectively. Among the Tigers out for track this year were: Reim, Dornte, Babb, Brockhall, Buggs, Eninger, Hammond, Lewis, Lyons, Hay, Cripe, Seiling, Zwick, Hire, and others. Some of these aspirants showed much promise early in the season, and ought to have brought many points in for the Blue. The complete schedule follows: April 14-Marion, there. April 21-South Side, there. April 28-Open. May 5-Northeastern Ind. meet at Garrett. May 12-Sectional, South Side. May 19-State, at Butler field. Page 107

BASEBALL When the Central Tigers went on the diamond against Leo in the first scheduled game of the season. it was readily seen that Coach Murray Mendenhall had a real ball club-one of the best in years. Without any practice whatsoever the Blue bat- ters went up against Leo and swamped them in a 12-0 game. By hard work in fielding and hitting the leather , the Tigers the following week downed the highly touted Huntington nine, said to be one of the best in this vicinity. Eight games re- mained on the schedule, and the Tiger tossers were confident of keeping a clean slate throughout the season. Seven veterans were back this year to wear the Blue and White. On the mound Mendy had Doege, and behind the bat was 'tFirp Steinhouser, a three year man. In the infield was Lyons, Schwartz, and Lester back while the outer gardens fared a little worse with only Brockhall in center field again wearing the Blue: Farrell was again seen in Tiger regalia ready to help Firp behind the bat whenever necessary. As good a bunch of recruits as Murray has had for a long time presented them- selves at the first practice. Hennings is a nice pitcher, Hattendorf shows up well in the infield, Al Jennings as well as H. Jennings is playing good ball. Jim Weiss has been batting them hard, W. Dornte, Stauffer, and Noble have each been playing very creditably. With hard games scheduled each week, the Tigers found this season's card an attractive one. Among some of the Blue opponents were: the Bluffton Tigers, Ken- dallville, Decatur, South Side, and Auburn. Each of these contests gave promise of being real battles throughout. The complete schedule follows: April April April April 13-Leo, here. 17-Huntington, here 20-Kendallville, here. 27-Auburn, here May 2--Decatur, there. May 9-South Side, there. May 11-Bluffton, there. May -Kendallville, there May -Decatur, here. May -South Side, there. Page 106
