FITZHUGH LYONS ALBERT FRANKE HERMAN SEILING End End Tackle The Morton high school Red Devils from Richmond presented the Fighting Central eleven with its fourth and last win of the season in a close, colorful game. When the last gun cracked, the Blue was on top of a 13-6 count. Brockhall's steller work on offense gave a touchdown and point after the marker, while Lester chalked up the remaining six points. Igleman, Red Devil star, provided his team's only touchdown. In a game that was filled with thrills and good playing, South Side's Kelly Klads downed the Tiger 13-7 and ended the Blue playing season. The score at the half was knotted at 7-7, but a lucky touchdown in the final quarter provided a Green victory. By virtue of their win over the Tigers, the Green was awarded the city public school championship for 1927. With a pleasing array of men back for next year's eleven, Coach Men- denhall ought to give Central another good season of playing. A stiff card faces the gridders, and it will take a good team to go through it suc- cessfully. A Page 90

Melvin Koenig went around the Central de- fense in the first half to score the Redskins only touchdown. Although Portland had a fast, hard hitting team, the Blue came home with 25-0, the third win of the season, tallied up. The first half was fairly well matched, but in the second period the Blue came back with their charac- teristic fighting spirit ihat carried them over to a great victory. When it is considered that Roosevelt of Dayton is one of the conten- ders for state honors in Ohio, the 19-0 drubbing which they gave the Blue does not seem so bad. Any eleven that could withstand the heavy line and hard hitting back from the Buckeye state just had to be good. Westfall and Embry, Roosevelt gridders, scored the two Ohio touchdowns. The South Bend Bears, one of the strongest northern Indiana teams, out- pointed the Tigers 43-0 in an uninteresting game. Christfall and Woodka Went through the Central line at Will, and did most of the scoring for the Bears. l' . - ,,.l ,. .,,,,,,.

I RUSSELL COOK RAY JOHNSON' ROBERT LESTER Guard Center Halfback Generously providing interesting games throughout the season, the 1928 Central high school grid card gives promise of being one of the hard- est any Tiger team has been given. Four new schools are on the schedule -Auburn, Columbia City, Concordia, and New Castle. There will be live home tilts with seven out-of-town games.
