ON THE CIN DER-PATH AND THE FAIRWAY 1 I I TRACK TEAM First Q-ow: Menze, Hosler, Johnson, Keirns, Stewart, Maloley, Nash. Second row: Coach Mendenhall, Beyerlein, Morey, Douglass, Croninger, Scott, Bakalar, Vonderau, Bolson. Third row: Seals, Baker, MacBride, Ochstein. Track is an old sport in Central. Every year the Tiger thinlies turn out, and under Mendy's supervision they develop into runners and jumpers. This year the Tigers have a good team, even though it is not superior. With Buggs, Croninger, and Beyerlein back from last year, the team has developed into a good outfit. Although they lost the first two meets, they finished second in the North Side relays and had a fairly successful season. They participated in the following track events: City meet, May 2g May 9, conference meet at Blufftong and May 22, state meet at Indianapolis. Golf, a comparatively new sport in Central, opened a new field for boys to represent the' school. The team had a good season under Mr. Hemphill. , Central's golfers have never had a perfect season, but they have had good teams. The one last year, composed of Erb, Ponsot, Brautsch, Sum- mers, Davidson, and Kennedy, went through a hard season with two games each with Marion and South Side. The Tiger golfers won their share of the matches and all the 'players proved to be capable of filling their positions. One match last year with Angola was postponed because of rain. Page 104 li-i--1

A MAN OF MANY HONORS FITZHUGH LYONS Seldom, if ever, has Central had an athlete and leader who proved himself to be any more valuable or better liked than Fitz. Likewise he was one of the few athletes who ever succeeded in obtaining four major letters in one year. Fitzhugh played tackle and end on the football team. His defensive Work as tackle gained for him a position on the all-state foot- ball team for 1929, In basketball, as a pivot man, he helped to lead the Tig- ers through their season of eighteen straight wins in 1928-29 and to the state in 1927 and 1930. During the Frankfort game he distinguished himself as one of the best centers at the state. At the close of the season, he was elected honorary captain. At first base Fitz was one of the main cogs in our winning baseball teams. His height and reach were put to good ad- vantage and his ability to handle a bat proved to be of great value in a pinch. Fitz put the shot, high jumped, and ran on the track team, turning in enough points to receive his fourth major letter for the year. The ready chatter and Winning personality of Fitzhugh gained for him many friends in athletics and also among the rest of the Centralites. Cen- tral was very sorry to lose Fitzhugh Lyons. We wish him the best of suc- cess in whatever he does. Page 103

WIELDERS OF THE BAT AND RACQUET I BASEBALL SQUAD First r0-wg Pelz, Swift. Second row: Berning, Menze, Hattendorf, Stauffer, Amman. Third 1-ow: MacDonald, Weiss, Coach Nulf, Meinzen, Nobles, Jennings. Baseball players in Central have been shifted around between coaches somewhat, but now they have a permanent coach. This year they have as their mentor Bob Nulf, who came here last fall to assist Mendenhall. The ancient and time worn sport has come to the point in the Tiger lair where there is always a good team. For the last few years, the Tiger hurlers have been superior to anything in this section of Indiana. They won the N. E. I. C. trophy for two years and hope to gain permanent possession of it this year. Teams met this year were Mentone, Decatur, Portland, New Haven, Bluffton and Columbia City. Tennis is one of the most popular minor sports in the school for those who do not care to compete in baseball and track. Mr. Tu1'pin has been in charge of the team for several years, and under him it has done well. Henschen, Burton, Brenner and Dick were the outstanding stars of last year's team. This season Burton is back, and much is expected of him. The tennis squad had hard luck at the beginning of the season be- cause they were not able to practice, but they enjoyed a fair season, Page 105 11-l-Tl
