MR. THRONER is Central’s faculty manager of athletics and baseball coach. Since he has coached the baseball team. Central has stood in first or second place. Last year, he built up the team so that they whipped the champion South team 3-0 in the final game. Much credit for the good showing of the team last year is due to him. as is the performance of this year’s team. Track THE 1919 season of track was somewhat of a slump in the usual strong showing of cinder path wearers of the Red and Blue. The squad, having only a small percentage of the strength of the 1918 Central champions, was greatly handicapped from the first by Ethelbert Warrick’s resignation. Coach Warrick is a coach of much repute and has turned out many championship track teams. Lieutenant Allen, formerly Mr. Throncr’s assistant in gym work and an aviator, immediately filled the gap and piloted Central’s material into the first three places of the season. West, North, and Central finished in the order named. Fred Grose, star all-round track performer, was elected captain. With Grose. Norton. Ryersc, Fleming, La Fontaine. Towler. Idzal. and Brown placing during the meets. Central by no means went down to humble defeats. The wonderful Nauscd-Grosc race of the Central-North meet will not be soon forgotten by its spectators. Xaused’s win by a very close margin gave his school a 6-point victory—the score being 59-53. West won by a good margin, while South was humbled 83V4-28 in a meet in which Fred Grose played the stellar part. Important cinder path dates in which Central was concerned were the Northwestern at Xorthrup field, the Carleton meet of May 31. and the triangle with St. Thomas and St. Paul Central. In the first event. Central finished sixth; in the second, the placing of Grose. Idzal, Xorton, and Towler gave the Red-Blue school the fourth notch; while it ran a close second in the three cornered meet. f -»4 j

n ??=iu7=irNj Halvor Rasmcsskn, Captain “Rass” had ali the qualities of a good captain; a star at his | osition. a fighter, and could make his team fight. He was one of the best centers ever developed in Minneapolis high schools and all-city center two seasons. “Rass” will not he with us next year, as he graduates. Central will miss him. Ray Archer As a quarter-back, “Lefty” made a great success. He was an accurate passer and used unusually good judgment in choice of plays. Joe McGovern Joe was an end hard to beat and very little ground was ever made around Joe’s end. Joe will not be with us next year, and his place will be hard to fill. John Ballextine John is considered one of the best all-around football players ever developed in the city. He could kick, hit the line, and was a great open field runner. Just ask anyone from South.
