R. Alexander A. Bendall M. Benmark G. Brown W. Cheeley H. Crane D. Cummings T. DeCourval D. Dulude A. Fischaber J. Fullwood R. Hackett J. Hallitt A. Johnson Football Three wins! Four defeats! One tie! While this showing doesn't seem to be especially impressive, the team played splendid ball most of the season. Pre-season ratings placed Central as a strong contender for the Saginaw Valley crown. However, a combination of stiff oppo- sition, injuries, and bad breaks proved the Tribesmen's downfall in four contests. Central's Head Coach, Howard Auer, fash- ioned an imposing forward wall but these players didn't hit their stride until mid- season. Jerry Udell again coached the back- field and developed several excellent runners and passers. Stan Broome ably served in the capacity of trainer. Norm Jones and Rex Parsell were high scorers on the sguad, both performing excel- lently. Although Rex scored only 21 points as compared to 24 scored by Jones, never- theless he was the outstanding player on the team. In addition to being named to the All-Valley first team at end, he was named to the All-State team. Others in the backfield whose work was outstanding were Don Delude, Ed Loder, John Johnson, Jesse Thomas, and Buddy Pratt. Bulwarks of the forward wall were All-Valley Center A1 Johnson, All-Valley End Hank Minarik, Guards Mark Lynch and George Brown, and Tackles Don Cummings and Ted DeCourval. In addition to those mentioned above. 1945 Prospectus 14

those who received letters were the fol- lowing: Manley Benmark, Bill Cheeley, lack Hallitt, Jim Fullwood, Frank Melzow, George Men- outes, Willard Revord, Harold Scott, Ray Steffen, Barry Tillage, Eugene Vaughn, and Asher Yaffee. The Tribe gridders opened their season against Muskegon. Stopped two yards short of the goal by the final gun. Central went down to a 9-6 defeat. The second game of the season was also against a non-Valley team, Lansing Sexton. The Lansing team won 2-0 by a safety in the last two minutes of play. The third game was the first decisive loss for Central, bowing to Saginaw 25 - 0. Sagi- naw went on to a perfect season, winning the Valley title and the mythical state cham- pionship. The next game was dropped 14 -13 to Owosso, the Trojans winning on a de- flected pass. Rated the underdogs in their fifth start, Howard Auer's Indians displayed consider- able power in drubbing the Arthur Hill Lum- berjacks by a 20 - 7 score. Norm Jones scored twice in this battle. Fighting to maintain their winning ways. Central ran into a muddy field and a determined team at Bay City and were forced to settle for a 12-12 deadlock. The Red-Blacks tuned up for the annual Turkey Day classic by trouncing Pontiac. Pontiac, rated a heavy favorite, had a tre- mendous weight advantage, but the inspired Tribesmen passed over them for a 19-0 win. A tremendous display of scoring power in the last half of the Thanksgiving Day game J. Johnson N. Jones E. Loder M. Lynch F. Melzow G. Menoules H. Minarik J. Morningstar L. Motter J. O'Marzu R.
