experiencef on the hardwood court Central's Fighting Tigers played through a most successful '33-'34 basketball season. Although they won I5 out of 1o games played during the season, the Central players failed to annex a single cham- pionship. Still, Central backers are justly proud of the record of their fighting team. In the initial start of the season, the Tigers defeated the Portland Panthers, 11-17. Although they were led for three periods by the in- vaders, Central came back with true tiger spirit and forged into the lead. ln the next engagement Central lost a heart-breaking game in their first city series clash to North Side by one point, but gained revenge somewhat by decisively trouncing Kendallville, 41-17, in their first N.E.l.C. engagement. The Tigers faltered in the next game, losing by ten points to Colum- bia City. lncidentally, this was one of the most severe beatings the Tigers suffered during the entire season, although playing teams supe- rior to the Eagles. The spirit of never quit held when Central warped Garrett, 33-11. The Tigers continued to win when they trounced Central Catholic, 31-14, in a very rough clash. Lady Luck deserted the squad during the next game when they fell before Auburn, 16-15, in a smooth, well-played ball game, but she came back to help the boys defeat Winamac decisively. The game was featured by a leak-proof defense employed by the Blue. The next game shocked the entire state, when the Blue netters de- feated Hartford City, N.E.l.C. leaders, by a score of 18-15. The latter led until the last three minutes, but the Tigers kept clawing until the score was in their favor. They continued their win streak by taking Winchester, Decatur, and Bluffton in rapid succession, with decisive scores. Joy came to every Central fan in the next game when South Side, Central's ancient rival, was severely trounced, 16-16, in a game which was much easier than anyone dared predict. The next win put the Tigers in a tie with South Side for the city championship. This victory was immediately followed by another win, a hard fought victory over Washington of East Chicago. After annexing eight straight games, the team fell before an inferior Warsaw live. The boys seemed to lack their former speed which may be accounted for by the 3oo-mile trip to East Chicago the day before. This defeat was followed by two wins in a double-header with Avilla and Leo, the victims. ln the next game South Side captured the coveted city crown when they defeated the Tigers by an indecisive margin of two points. ln this wildly played game, the Archers led by twelve points with less than six minutes to go, but the Tigers staged a rally and came within two points of making it an overtime ball game. To prove their strength, the Tigers topped their fifteenth game of the season by severely beating the strong Elkhart squad, 31-16. This victory lowered the curtains on the regular playing season of the 1933- 34 basketball season. Page 0
