GRIDIRON PLAYERS NORTH SIDE VS. CENTRAL STANLEY JONES has struggled along as a substitute until this year, When finally he was allowed to play with the regulars, he showed such ability that he was allowed to continue with them. Weighing only one hundred and thirty-seven pounds, he held his own against any opposition. ALBERT JENNINGS, one of the fastest and best ends in the city, played in practically all of the games and never failed to turn in a good record. Al was on the receiving end of most of the passing combina- tions for the Tigers, and succeeded in putting most of them over the final chalk mark. WILLIE WILSON played at various positions throughout the season, but at all of them he proved success- ful. Wee Willie has played two years and is always a threat when on the receiving end of a pass, or when tackling. ROYAL STAUFFER has probably had more bad luck than any other member of the squad. Stauffer broke his ankle last year and was unable to play. He has also received minor injuries that were not serious enough to hinder his playing.

THE FOOTBALL TEAM A THE SOUTH SIDE FRAY HOWARD CRONINGER has played football for the past three years, but only in the past two has he been able to play in the varsity games. Last year he played right half position in several games re- placing Babb. This year he was shifted to quarter and went down in history as one of the best quarter- backs that the Tigers have ever had. NATHANIEL BUGGS, four year letter man in football, elected captain of the team after he had played one of his most successful seasons. In his freshman year Buggs played guard, but for the last three years has been in the backfield playing fullback most of the time. He has been among the leading scorers of the city and one of the most consistent players ever to grace a Fort Wayne gridiron. RALPH SHEETS has been playing football for Central for three years. Ralph is a junior and still has one more year to play. If he does as well as he has in the past, he will be the outstanding man on the team. Sheets has divided his time between the line and backfield, being successful in both positions. JAMES NASH has divided his talent as a gridiron hero between the center position and the backfield. He was one of the outstanding scorers this season, and was easily one of the best players on the city gridirons. HOWARD CRONINGER JAMES NASH is .

GRID WARRIORS BLUFFTON MEETS TIGERS ROBERT WEISS, one of the flashiest quarterbacks the Tigers have seen for some time, started playing on the gridiron four years ago. He finally worked himself up until last year he got his first letter, and another this year. EDWARD TROTT, a sophomore, played in several games this year, it being his first year out. Ed did not see action in all of the games but managed to earn a letter. .IAMES GREENWELL, although not playing in all the games, managed to get his share of time in the lineup- Greenwell played well in all his games and should prove to be a valuable man to the Tiger machine. , RALPH JENSEN. another sophomore, played in several positions in the line but finally ended up at center. Jensen played in all the games the latter part of the season and turned in a good record. CLIFFORD SWIFT seems to be doomed to get tough breaks for he but it doesn't seem to hinder him at the guard position. Swifty was threats to the opponents. must wear a brace on his knee always one of the Tigers' biggest ROBERT wE1ss JAMES GREENWELL ,a 11 - X EDWARD TROTT CLIFFORD SWIFT A R A RALPH JENSEN i ,T 1,1-3 '2'-'fi ,?
