SENIOR ATHLETES That our Seniors have been active in the athletic world can be ascertained when one but glances at the various branches of sport in which the class has celebrities. Leon Zeckhausen-has been particularly active on his team. Zeck captained interclass basketball teams. In his Sophomore and Junior years he managed the State cross-country champions and the National track champs. In his Junior year Zeck was captain of the second team in basketball, and as a climax Leon played center on our ‘varsity football, this by making the backfield on our ‘varsity football team. On the outside Zeckhausen has written for the sports depart- ment of the Newark Sunday Call. History says that all great men are dead, and Zeck says he isn't feeling any too good. Gerald Hauser, another of our class luminaries, has also made a name for himself in sportdom. Jerry played on the Sophomore and Senior interclass basket- ball teams. He ran on the Sophomore relay team, was captain of ‘varsity basketball in his Senior year, and captain Sophomore and Senior years. Theodore Augenstein, another of our letter men, has confined his activities mainly to the hill and dale sport and the cinder path. Teddy developed as a find under Coach Anderson as a Junior, and has come rapidly to the fore as a devotee of the spiked shoe. Teddy was instrumental in bringing the city ‘cross-country title to Central, racing home third over the Weequahic Park course. Harold Merz, another loyal son of January Eighteen, made a late start in athletics, but never- CEA APR a) theless made his C as a member of last season's basketball five. Dick, although not a shining light, was an essential factor in our quintet's success. Herbert Smock represented the lofty Seniors in soccerdom by playing as a back on this year's newly recognized soccer team. Smock was the backbone of the team, and, due to his efforts, Central succeeded in taking quite a few teams into camp. Walter Prosch has made his ' C2 as a member of last year's second basketball team. Wally has also played interclass basketball on the Soph team and on the Senior team. Central has probably never before had a gymnast the equal of Prosch, and, but for the fact that gymnastic work is not recognized in our official roster of sports, Walter would be sporting a big C. One acnnot help somewhat admirin the efforts of Philip Mintz. Twice Phil has played on the inter- class basketball teams—in former years as a member of the Sophs, and as a member of the 1918 class team. Phil has also worked at track. LETTERS AWARDED At the first official A. A. meeting held this semester Coach Carl Anderson, director of the or- ganization, awarded the various members of the foot- ball, cross-country and soccer teams the highly- coveted emblems. The last-named pastime, although not recognized as a major sport on Central's roster, was temporarily elevated to that position by our coaches, Messrs. Anderson and Richards. At the next A. A. meeting a vote will be taken as to the possibilities of soccer becoming a fixed institution as a major sport. After the awarding of emblems, the various teams went into conference concerning the election of captains, and when the smoke had cleared
