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 ,?

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.

TIGER PLAYERS THE RESERVES Bottom row: Hackman, Blanks, Barnes. Second row: West, Van Zant, Kabisch, Auman. Third row: Coach Mendenhall, Wineland, Maloley, Kern, Trott, Student Manager McCreary. , DELBERT THORNBURG is only a sophomore, but nevertheless he has shown great promise as a grid warrior. Del got into several games this year and showed up very well. ARTHUR PAYNE came to Central this year and played in several games. He played both in the line and backfield. Pouch was one of the promising young warriors on the field and will develop into a regular if he stays with it. WILLIAM ALEXANDER played football on the varsity last year for the first time. Alex got into some games last year and received his numerals but this year he was given his first letter. JOHN SITKO, one of the underclassmen on the team, played several times last year, but this is the first year he has been permitted to play regularly. John played good ball all season and turned in an exceptionally good game against North Side. WILLIAM HATTENDORF has been in the limelight of the Tiger sports world for the past four years, but this is the first time we have ever seen him on the gridiron. Bill played in a majority of the games and was always a menace to the opponents. WILLIAM ALEXANDER ' Q 1 up DELBERT THORNBURG J as f . 'Ziff' ...i 1 1 viii - Q AA' - V fi? if , X .
