6 wim out QF 7! From the very beginning the Tiger football eleven looked good and proved it as the season advanced. Winning six out of seven starts and by large margins is proof enough that Coaches Mendenhall and Nulf had produced a football team above the average, but that the team showed marked superiority to the highly touted Elkhart Blue Blazers was an added proof. In fact, it was this defeat over Elkhart that at- tracted the attention of many sports writers all over the state. Our team was even booked to play the undefeated Reitz of Evansville for the mythical state championship. But due to an upset in the South Side game, the tilt was called off. In the first game of the 1933 season, Central decisively downed Bluffton at their field by a score of LO to 6. Coach Mendenhall sur- prised Bluffton and even his followers by using an efficient passing attack. Displaying an A-1 brand of football, Central upset all dope buckets and decisively routed Elkhart, the pre-game favorites, by a zo to o score. This victory was only the second time they beat Elkhart in the many years they have played together. The Central Catholic fighting Irish suffered a defeat at the hands of Central's Tigers on Saturday, September 3o, the final score being LI-13. The Central men seemed to lose some of their scrap in this game and were weak on pass defense. Scoring before the first minute of play was over and adding four more touchdowns in the final half, a conglomeration of the first, sec- ond, third, and forth string gridmen of Central defeated the Decatur Yellow Jackets, 39.-11, Saturday, October 7. Friday night, October 13, Central scored its second city-series victory over North Side by an 18 to o score. This game showed the superior strength and man-power of the Tiger line. The Tigers annexed their sixth consecutive win out of six starts by defeating Auburn, I3 to o. This was the first and only game in which they used a special shift and consequently they had no trouble downing the Red Devils. The heart breaker of the whole season came last. Although the Archers of South Side defeated the Tigers, 18 to o, there are several facts to be taken into consideration. Hawkins, the spark plug of the team, was taken from the game with a concussion of the brain, and then the Archers started trouncing. Also, the Tigers had been idle for two weeks previous to the game.

they made the vmxrizyf First in the line-up comes Joe Grimme. He was a tremendous kicker, doing most of Central's kicking. Joe also excelled in ruining opponents' plays. Louis Juillard, the right tackle, was also a scrappy fighter and a good man on defense. He had the ability always to get in there just when the opposition wanted most to keep him out. Juillard's next-door neighbor, Wineland, right guard, distinguished himself by his hard plunging and blocking. He was an effective tackler and could take a lot of punishment. Woody Hart played center and greatly assisted the line with his great defensive playing. Although held to the second squad for his previous years by the stellar playing of Swift, he proved his worth in his last year of high school football. Beside Hart comes Carl Langas, left guard. He was a noted blocker and always gave everything he had. He also hit the line with great force, breaking through time and again to nail the ball carrier for a loss. Next in our little summary comes Art Smith, left tackle. He played a fine, hard game this year, especially on the offensive as a blocker. He packed a heavy punch and put a lot of spirit into his playing. Eugene Seals, the left end, was one of the mainstays of the defense. He was big, fast, and powerful and played a wonderful game. Gene, a junior, has been on the squad for several years, and had a lot of ex- perience. The key position of the team, the quarter back, was held by Bob Kern, who has been on the Tiger team for four years. Bob, although short and stocky, packs a whale of a punch. He was always on his toes to keep Winegart from copping his position. Meet Bob Hawkins, who was listed on one of the all-state grid teams, filling the left half-back position. Sec, as he is nick-named, was the star of the Central offense, continually reeling off runs of forty, fifty, and even sixty yards. Two Dicks did good work for the Blue and White. Dick Larimer, who played at right half, was also a good man on the offensive. Although he tipped the scales at only 115, he was a great blocker and repeatedly gained a lot of ground. Dick Millikan contributed his bit from the fullback position and when he charged into the line, the line- men came up with a lot of bumps and bruises. Bob Stubbs, who played back last year, will probably fill Hawkins' shoes next year. He is fast, a good kicker, and slippery as an eel. Although only a sophomore, he is on the varsity, and is expected to do great things next year. Paul Liable, a senior, came to Central this year from Central Catholic where he was a stellar performer. He excels in the line of passing, is a hard plunger, and a good tackler. He was out of the line-up for several games with a broken hand. Orv Blessing, lineman, is the heaviest man on the team. He uses every pound to advantage. Orv is a good tackler and very effective in removing a lot of enemy interference. II
