THE GRIDIRON-REEL ONE Opening one of the most successful seasons of the Tigers' career, Central's gridiron warriors marched through a season featured by only one defeat and one tie. Warsaw proved to be the first victim for the Tiger onslaught while Buggs started one of his usual seasons by scoring two touchdowns, and Sheets, who wasn't to be slighted, also scored two markers. Bobbie Weiss was started at the quarter position and tallied the final marker for the Tigers which brought the total to thirty points. Nash accounted for the two points after scores. At the beginning of the period Warsaw made things look bad for the Tigers by wriggling over the final stripe and led Central 6-0, but the Tigers couldn't let a thing like that pass and soon re- taliated and brought the score to 32-6 at the end of the game. 4 Again renewing an old rivalry with Elkhart, the Tigers showed what their spirit under fire can do. Losing out 13 points in the first three quarters of the game, the Tigers came back in the final five minutes of the game and tied the score at 13-13. Buggs again proved to be the hero of the fray by running and twisting his way sixty yards for the first Tiger touchdown and then on the next play he shot a pass to Blanks which was good for twenty yards. Jennings received a pass from Buggs and ran fifty yards for the second score, and then Buggs threw the third pass to Weiss who tied the score. Taking their first step toward the city title the Tigers overcame North Side 19-0. Nate Buggs and Jimmie Nash furnished the scoring for the Tigers. Central went into the game the under dogs but soon proved their superiority. Buggs made the sensational run of the game by running eighty-five yards for the first touchdown. Nash was the scoring star with two markers and Buggs succeeded in adding the extra points. In the third game of the year, Central snowed under Blufton 44-13. Bluffton started out much the same as Warsaw by scoring first in the early Page 90
