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

TENNIS If the interest that is being taken in tennis is any indication of the success it will have this year, undoubtedly the performances of the Blue racqueteers will far excel that of former years. Although this is only the second year that tennis has been given a place in Central's spring sports, it is rapidly gaining a high place of prominence and popularity. Over thirty men reported for practice this season, and a pleasing schedule of fifteen games was carded. The tennis season opened May 2 when the Tigers journeyed to the Bluffton Tiger camp. Games every week were scheduled from then on until June 2 with some of the best teams in the state. Preliminary tournaments to draw out material were held April 23-228, and both single and double matches were staged. Everyone received an equal chance to make the squad in this manner. Les Ortlieb, city champion, who coached the Blue players so successfully last year, was back again at the helm of the Tiger racquet wielders. Ortlieb deserves a great deal of credit for contributing so much to the establishment of tennis in Central. He has coached without compensation for two years, and is exceptionally Well liked by all of his players. Mr. Charles P. Turpin, a new instructor in Central, acted as faculty manager this year. The championship matches, to determine both single and double champs, were held May 21-25, and the winners had their names engraved on the Gardner trophy. Some of the fellows out for tennis were: Kitch, R. Gardner, Bob Gardner, Weiss, Hire, Heit, Dunn, Coar, Homscher, Paul, Crane, B. Weiss, Cowan, Pfeiffer, Salzer, Erb, Dick, Brause, Hill, Haffner, Kernen, Snyder, Weaver, Williams, E. Erb, McMahon. The schedule is as follows: May 2-Wednesday, Bluffton, there. May 16-North Side ftentativej. May 4-Friday, Marion, here. May 18-Friday, Goshen, here. May Saturday, Elkhart, there. May 19-Saturday, Elkhart, here. May -South Side, there.
