they carry on Joe Grimme, elected honorary captain by his team mates, heads the list of Tiger hardwood celebrities. This stellar guard graduates this june. His greatest work for the Tiger team was accomplished at pivot point, but he is also an outstanding all-round player, adept in any department of the game. He was awarded the King trophy. Another graduate Whose shoes will be hard to fill next season is Les Menze. He played both forward and guard this year, and was excellent at both positions. Ray Hostler, who found himself about the middle of this season, is another who, we regret to say, leaves us this June. Ray stars in both defensive and offensive work. His favor- ite scoring play was a slick sleeper worked directly under the basket. Harry Buckmaster, the only other graduate, began this season on the reserve squad, but his steady, cool-headed playing later won him a position on the varsity. Lyle Neat, a junior, led our scoring this year. Neat is one of the sweetest ball players that has come to Central in a long time. He is a dead shot from every angle and reasonable distance on the floor, and is the most successfully aggressive player on the entire squad. He was high scorer in the city. Dick Warfield, forward or guard, good in both positions, is another junior in our ranks. Dicks outstanding work has been in getting the ball off the backboard, but, like others, is a fine all-round player. Bob Altekruse will also play his last game for Central next year. Bob is a good floorworker but stars the greatest at his center post. Virgil Riddle, skilled, cool-headed, and alternate first team man this season, will probably be a regular forward or guard next school year. Bob McKee will be a senior next year. Bob played excellently as a reserve-varsity man this year and finally ended up on the Sectional team. ,jack Paul, a freshman, who played in the same capacity as did McKee this season, is one of Central's brightest prospects. Lloyd Altekruse, Bob's brother, and another freshman, is a very promising center. He made eleven points in the final reserve game. Freddy Kabisch is now an 11B. He is steady, an excellent defensive man, and hits the bucket from all angles. Toppy Bourne, another freshman prodigy, is tall now and growing like a weed. He is a varsity man of the future. Steve Sitko, being the outstanding player on the reserve squad this season, tall, well-built, an honor student, and only a sophomore, makes us expect much from him in the future. Howard Shockey, a junior, is a slick player in all ways and will probably mean a lot to us next year. :Jo ll 111,,1z
