CENTRAL OPENS WITH DEFEAT Central High baseball team, opened its season being defeated by North Plainfield April 15 by a score of 17 to 7. Charlie Schneider's boys poured runs over the plate like lava out of a volcano. Three Central twirlers were used and were rapped for 18 hits. The Cannucks, as the Plainfielders are called, got to Jacobs in the very first inning for six bingles and as many runs. Schneider' clan repeated in the third again, this time only getting five hits and five runs. This was enough to knock the punch out of the Central lads and caused them to lose by such a large margin. Central, however, tried a comeback in the fifth in- ning and crossed the plate on two occasions, thus plac- ing them in the score column. Charles, a veteran of last year, was the only Centralite 10 get two hits. Ryan, a new addition to the team, crossed the rubber thrice, Charles twice, Murphy and Klein each once for all of Central's tallies. CENTRAL Charles, с. f. xus JIR Марте у с ин Leamy, с.

JUNE, 205, ATHLETICS The class of June, '20, has in its ranks the largest collection of athletics that any graduation class of Central has ever had. The following brief summary shows what boys have done good work in our major sports: Track chower. Cross-Country—Douglas, Schwarz. Football—Morchower, Moskowitz and Farrow. Basketball—Moskowitz, Morchower. Baseball—Morchower. Soccer—Morchower. Douglas, Farrow, Rauch, Pfeil and Mor- This high record in athletics is something of which any class may be proud. The June, '20, class, it best represented in track. George Douglas, Alfred Rauch, Reginald Farrow and Herbert Pfeil are all members of present class and their departure will leave a gap that will be hard to fill. George Douglas, the most famous of the four, has earned for himself a most enviable name in athletic circles during his four years here. Beginning as a member of the cross-country team, he very ably repre- sented Central in that sport, and in 1919 won. the national interscholastic cross-country run at Philadel- phia and became the national schoolboy cross-country champion. The following year he became captain of the team. George has also shone in track. Run- ning in the mile, he has scored many victories and in addition has been a member of the varsity relay team. He has also been picked as the All-American Inter- scholastic two-miler. Rauch is another disciple of the spiked shoe. He has been a member of the varsity cross-country team for the past three years and has always been one of the main supports of the hill and dale outfit. In track, Rauch has represented his alma mater in the half- mile and has been a consistent performer on the varsity relay team. Reginald Farrow has confined his efforts chiefly to track and in the quarter-mile has given excellent ac- count of himself in many meets during the past three years. He was a member of the varsity relay team and in the 1920 national indoor interscholastics was runner-up in the quarter-mile championship. Farrow was also a member of the football squad last season. Herbert Pfeil is our hurdler, In each of the last two national indoor interscholastic championships he has won second place in the 70-yard high hurdles, and in various other meets he has sailed over the tim- bers with the best hurdlers in the East. Heading the list of all-round athletes come the names of Harry Morchower and Nat Moskowitz. These two fellows’ names have been associated with two or more sports in sporting annals of the school. Included in Morchower's list of sports we find foot- ball, on which team he played end for two seasons, and on which team he was captain in 1919. Harry also played on the baseball team for three seasons and is at present captain of the 1920 squad. “‘Morch,” as he is called, has managed and played basketball, and varsity and inter-class soccer teams. Moskowitz played on the football team for two seasons at the guard position. 'Moskie, as he is called by the local sport lovers, has also been a varsity member of the 1918-19 and 1919-20 basketball teams, playing a guard position on these teams. If there was a guard position on the baseball team you can make a sure bet that Moskie would be filling in that position. Alex Schwartz, William Bisch, Louis Schottenfeld, Bendel, Knecht and Kurtz are also athletes who have met with success on the track team. Schwartz was a member of the National Interscholastic Cross-Country championship team. Bisch and Schottenfeld were members of the junior track team. Bendel, Knecht and Kurtz were members of the senior class relay teams. George Meister was a member of last year's varsity baseball squad and had to give it up this year in order to give more time to studies. Bob Caruba has been a cheer leader and has helped in- stall school spirit into the various sports. Norman Lee is now managing our track team and also managed the championship hill and dalers last year. Thus we can see that in talent and variety no class has ever beaten and few have equaled the record which the class of June, 1920, has hung up for the succeeding classes to aim at. The hole which is left in the ranks of the athletes is a large and much felt one. However, as in the past the task will be sagely trusted to the undergraduate body to “carry оп” and we feel assured that they will do so successfully.

Among these are Anette Fein, Beatrice Meyer and Elsie Meyer. During their stay at Central these girls have gone in for all the sports open to girls. Both Elsie Meyer and Beatrice Meyer were on the championship girls’ bas- ketball team and both received silver basketballs for winning the inter-class championship. Anette Fein is an all-round athlete and both she and Elsie Meyer were members of Miss Heilich’s dancing class. Elsie Meyer and Anette Fein have appeared in several dancing exhibitions.
