' THE NET SPORT IN 1930-31 rally led by Croninger and Weiss proved futile. the former proved a bit stronger, defeating Central by a 25 to 13 count.

THE NET TEAM Front row: Left to fright-William Hattendorf, Fred Burton, Roger Hackman, Hilbert Menze, Robert Weiss. Rear row: Loft to right-Coach Murry Menden- hall, James Nash, Ralph Sheets, Howard Croninger, Al Jennings, Assistant Coach Bob Nulf. Willie Hattendorf found himself in his senior year and made the varsity squad as a substitute guard. Willie is a whiz on the baseball diamond playing at the center's position and always gets his flies, He played football for two years and saw action in many of the big games. Albert Al Jennings, Central's sharpshooter, had an off season this year, but nevertheless led the basketball squad and played a whizz of a game all year. He has one more year in Central. Nate Buggs, our steller guard, will graduate this year and leaves behind him a record which will be hard to beat. In his four years he has been named all-city fullback twice, honorable mention for all- state fullback once for the football squad, as well as being outstanding in track and basketball. Roger Rajah Hackman was the only man on the basketball squad that was over six feet tall. Rajah also started with the reserves and made the varsity basketball squad and played well. He also played end for the varsity football squad and will be back next year. Bobbie Weiss, our star forward, graduates this year and we sure will miss Bobbie and his long arch- ing Shots on the basketball floor. He also was on the varsity football squad serving in the capacity of quarterback for two years. VVILLIAM HATTENDORF ROBERT VX EISS ALBERT JENNINGS NATHANIEL BUGGS ROGER HACKMAIN N my , Page 100
