Us FN it Cross Country l CROSS COUNTRY-Front Row: George Buben, George Benford, Harold Wirsing, Mr. Nap LaVoie. Back Row: David Heakins, Iohn Vorhead. Robert Mclnnes. Lloyd Hosner. In Armed Service: Harry Schouda, Larry DeCourval, Stewart Cohoon. Although Mr. LaVoie started out with an inexperienced group of boys, the Cross Country team met with fair success in the 1943 season. With Stewart Cohoon the only letter man returning to Mr. LaVoie's fold, he had to groom several inexperienced boys to take the place of graduated runners. In the only meets the harriers took part in at Dort Field, they emerged with impressive victories over Saginaw Eastern and Sagi- naw Arthur Hill. Traveling, however, did not seem to bring the Central boys the good luck that was hoped for. In the only trip taken in regular competition they lost a close contest to a strong Royal Oak squad. Winning 6 points gave Central an undis- puted Sth place in the State Meet which ended the season for the Indians. Beside Stewart Cohoon, 3 letter winner, the Varsity included: George Benford, Bob Magwiss, Lawrence DeCourval, George Buben, Iohn Vochies and Harry Shouda. The squad was managed by Henry Faiola. Air-minded students can pick out features of Central's campus from this view made from the west.

Northern showed fine form, but could not hold the inspired Indians. Reserve Football The Reserve football team accomplished its primary purpose this year, which is not winning games, but rather building future varsity material. Mr. Homer Parker and Mr. Iames Richards. the coaches, spent many hours every night teaching the fundamentals of the game to the fledglings. The team opened the season at Owosso, losing a hotly contested battle 13 to 5. Corunna came to Dort Field to lose by one point, 14 to 13. This game was marked by an outstanding Central goal line stand in the closing minutes of the game. Doc Bibbs and Iim Fulwood did most of the ground gaining for the Indians, F ulwood scoring one touchdown. The second touchdown came on a pass to Bill Walker. Bibbs kicked both points. St. Matthews, parochial league champions, trounced the Tribe 27-0. During the first half the breaks were even, but the Matts got rolling in the second half and piled up a top- heavy score. Central proved no match for St. Michaels, a heavier team, and was drubbed, 20 to 0. For the closing game of the season the Indians battled with M. S. D. in a close and tough contest. Central came out on the short end of a 13 to 12 score. Throughout the season the line play of Fred Saunders and Bob Benton, along with the kicking of Karl Smith, pulled the Indians out of many holes. Honorary captains were Mort Smythe, acting captain and quarterback, and Karl Smith.
