VARSITY RESERVES-Front Row: Benny Krusesto, Steve Sivosky. Dean Tobias, Ben Adams, Paul Sheik Tubby Williams. Back Row: Jack Kennedy, Francis Hudson, Melbourne Pottruff, Clare Weaver, Dave Elston SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL Central was fortunate in again hav- ing a fine Sophomore basketball team. Ierry Udell lcoachl was responsible for the fine record of the team. Since the Sophomore squad trains and develops men for the Varsity it is invaluable to the basketball set-up. In the first of the series the boys were on the short end of the score 5 out of 7 times. However, in the final series, they did an about- face, coming out the victor 5 out of 7 times, showing the splendid improve- ment that was the reward of hard work. Co-captains for the first team were lack Hodge and Neal Rohner. First team members were Lefty Morrell, Eddy Mil- ler, Chet Wilkinson, Rex Parsell, Keith Chisholm, and Al Harris. RESERVE BASKETBALL Outstanding play was shown by the Reserves this season. Out of fourteen games Central's Warriors emerged with twelve scalps. Promising players on the Reserves were Elmo Gratsch, a 10-B, Dick Hallwood, and Bud Dulude.

CITY CHAMPIONS 1942 Taking and holding the lead through- out the game, Central's Bucketeers trounced Northern 33 to 21 in the second game of the City Championship series, to capture the Wildanger Trophy. Win- ning this game clinched third place in the Valley standings for the Tribe. The luck of the draw put the Indians against the favored Saginaw Eastern quintet in the Regionals. After playing a nip and tuck battle for three quarters. the Tribe was unable to halt a 19-point A Bit of Action for the City Championship Game drive in the final frame. Chandnois was high scorer with 23 points. The Indians opened the season against Owosso with a 34- I9 victory. The second game saw Ann Arbor as opponents, while the second Valley tussle was with Arthur Hill of Saginaw. Northern took the first game of the City series by a close score of 27-24 after a see-saw battle. This game was later declared a forfeit to Central by the State Athletic Association.

CROSS COUNTRY-Front Row: F. Smith CCoachJ, Carl Cooper, Steve La Porte, Samford McGlone. Leslie Howey. Back Row: Bill Stephenson, Rutilio Enzastiga, Bill Wells, Clarence Heid, Iim Massar, Charles Zeitz. REGIONAL AND STATE CHAMPIONS Coach Francis Smith's 1941 Cross- Country team proved to be one of the best teams ever to be produced at Central. Paced by Rutilio Enzastiga the tribe harriers went through the entire season undefeated, including a victory by the second team over Saginaw. Central continued its excellent record by going on to win the Regional and State Titles. Ruglio Enzastiga, Bill Wells, Iimmie Massar, Bill Stevenson, Stan- ford McGlone and Charlie Zietz made up the team that won the Regional and State crowns for the third time in the last four years. The absence of Enzastiga, one of Central's greatest cross-country and track stars, will be a big loss to the 1942 team but Coach Smith will have enough veterans and new material for a very promising team in 1942.
