Swimming BARNARD JONES and company brought Central second place in the 1920 Minneapolis aquatic circles. The big meet of the year was the state interscholastic clash in the M. A. C. tank, December 13. Central won fourth place, being pitted against the pick of the state. Barnard Jones placed in the 100-yard swim, 220, and swam on the relay, which copped third. Fred Grose captured a point in the dives and was a link in the relay chain. Frank Bessessen swam second in the 100-yard breast stroke. The West-Central dual was the last meet of the season. Jones and Stahr did the bulk of the Central work, although other Central “fish' won a letter through placing on this date. West, winning the last event on the program, won by only four points. Tom Sands was captain of the 1920 team, Jones having withdrawn in his favor. M. Skobba and W. Roberts, beside those mentioned, were Central’s representatives in the water sport. 11» 1

Haseball CENTRAL’S 1919 baseball nine finished in second place in the 1919 scholastic race, the same as the 1918 team. The Red and Blue, except for three unfortunate defeats, proved itself to be the best in the city. Mr. Throner issued the first call for practice early in April, and besides Captain Glenny, Clifford Glenny, Harry Masters, Jimmie Peterson, Ray Archer. Meredith Barrett, and Theodore Clymer, veterans, many other fellows turned out to earn a place on Central’s nine. After practising for two or three weeks, Throner’s nine met and defeated North at North Commons 12-2. Archer on the mound for Central struck out eleven men and allowed North but two scattered hits. Archer, besides pitching a wonderful game, made three hits, while the Glenny brothers made two apiece. The Central boys proved themselves to be a heavy hitting aggregation, slamming out thirteen bingles to North's two. The next game was played at South field against W est, Central losing 6-4. Archer, hurling for Central, issued the West boys their base on balls six times and two were hit by pitched balls, three of these resulting in unearned runs for W est. They also received two more unearned runs on errors by Clifford Glenny and Clymer. Jimmie Peterson was Central’s hitting star, with a single and a two-bagger that drove in two of Central’s runs. Central was defeated by South 8-6 in their next game, which proved to be a very interesting battle. Archer, pitching for Central, held the South men to five hits until the ninth, when South started a rally and netted five runs, winning the game. Loken, South’s pitcher, struck out twelve Central batters and besides connected for a two-bagger and a triple. Masters was Central’s star with three hits to his credit, while Bill Fox. who batted for Jones in the ninth, drove out a neat two-bagger. Central again met and defeated North at South High field 13-0. Fox. pitching his first game for Central, allowed North but three scattered hits and no one on the North team reached second base. Central’s team played errorless ball, the feature of this being the double play Glenny to Clymer to Peterson. Captain Glenny and Roy Anderson were Central’s star batters, with two hits apiece. W est again defeated Central at South High field, this time in a twelve-inning tussle 4-3. Fox started on the mound for the Red and Blue, but West scored two runs in the sixth on two hits by Gambil and Jacobson and a wild throw over first base by Fox. Masters, pitching for Central the last six innings, allowed West but one single until the twelfth, when Countryman drove in the winning run with a neat single over short. The feature of this game was the hitting by Captain Glenny. John Jones, and Roy Anderson who drove out the only home run of the season in the third inning. t 21 }
