Untied, undefeated, not scored upon is the record of the nineteen-hundred- forty-two football team. This outstanding accomplishment cannot be men- tioned without giving full credit to the splendid cooperation of the separate members on the squad and to the quality of leadership displayed by the coach of the team, Mr. Muegge. The football teams of Central High School are al- ways outstanding, but the nineteen-hundred-forty-two team shares this excellent record with only one other teamg namely, the nineteen-hundred-twenty-nine team. . ' The season opened on home territory with the initial game being played against Chaffee. Under the strain of their first competition, the team showed a handi- cap which was apparent through most of the play. However the Tigers emerged victorious by a score of 1340. Having tasted victory, the Bengals again were successful and defeated the McBride Colonaders of St. Louis 30-0. The first out-of-town game was played at Carbondale, and Central extended their string of victories to three by shutting out the Illinois team 40-0. Cairo was next on the schedule, and they, too, were defeated, being handed a loss of 46-0. ..f-1.1-n.f-1.i'1 P-v.f--.1--.f'lv.fN
