RESERVES WORK HARD IN HOPE OF MAKING VARSITY ELEVEN As in a clock the mainspring would be useless without the help of the minor springs, therefore without re- serves to practice with, a varsity team would have no practiceg con- sequently they would not be able to work together properly. The reserves at Central are made up almost entirely of underclassmen who work as hard as the varsity yet receive less honor. The hope of all reserves is someday to be on the varsity. Some of the most promising mem- bers of the reserves are: Hawkins, who saw action in most of the games in the role of halfbackg Kerns, an- other backg Grimme, linesmang Mil- likan, halfbackg Hayes, linesmang and Menze. These lads, along with the varsity who are left, will make up the bulk of next year's team. With such material as this to work with, Central's football team next year should be very successful. Alexander was student manager for the team and a player on the reserves. Although he was a senior, he saw action in several games. A trick knee kept him off the varsity. Spring football was again started in order to get a line on the new material. In spring football the fundamentals are stressed, such as blocking, tackling, passing, and charging. Later the boys, led by some of last year's varsity players, choose teams and have scrimmages. This is the most interesting part of the practice. The very last thing the fellows do is to have a series of games between the various teams. These games are held at Swinney Park and usually attract quite a large crowd of rooters from Central. 99
