Cross Country- Faced with many difficult situations im- posed by wartime conditions, the cross country team and the Coach, Nap LaVoie, proved their merit by taking the Saginaw Valley crown. Their record equalled or sur- passed that of any other athletic team in Central. The harriers were undefeated against Valley opposition, their only loss being to a very strong Royal Oak squad. Five impres- sive wins compiled an .833 percentage for them. Coach LaVoie was handicapped by the total lack of lettermen from the 1943 team. However, this was offset somewhat by the presence of two varsity men from the 1944 track team, Bill Speckin and Jim Marr. Both of these boys were outstanding during the season. Many on the cross country squad had no previous experience and had to be groomed for starting roles. The Red - Black runners opened the 1944 campaign by subduing Arthur Hill 20-35 at Dort Field. They next met Bay City in two consecutive meets, winning 26 - 29 there and 26 - 33 on the home course. The season was concluded with a triangular fray involving the Tribe, Northern, and Arthur Hill. The scores in this meet were Central 25, Arthur Hill 45, and Northern 73. This meet was probably their most impressive of the season. For their participation in the required num- ber of meets, seven members of the team received varsity letters. They were Earl Buffey, Dale DeWitt, Bob Laurain, Jim Marr, Elwyn Pilley, Bill Speckin, and John Voorheis. Numerals were received by Earl Escue, Max Nichols, Jerry O'Boyle, and Jack Shively. 1945 Prospectus 18

Reserve Football The Indian reserve football team did not compile an outstanding record for the season, but they did have a successful season in regard to the principal function of reserve teams. The gridders, mostly Sophomores, gained valuable experience from their inter- scholastic competition and will benefit by this when they advance to varsity status. The coaching staff was revised somewhat this season. Jim Richards took over the post of cheer-leading mentor and he was replaced on the reserve staff by Bill Melzow who recently transferred from Northern. Homer Parker retained the coaching role he had last year. The Red - Blacks compiled a record of three wins and five defeats during the season, but they played better than this would indicate. Not one of their opponents in the Saginaw Valley registered a decision over the team. However, the Tribe was not able to gain a single victory over a non-Valley opponent. The Indian reserves opened their season by defeating the Owosso Trojans, 7 - 6. Other wins were scored against the Saginaw Tro- jans and Pontiac Chiefs. The Tribesmen suffered losses to Corunna, Lapeer, Bendle, MSD, and Flint Tech. MSD had an excep- tionally strong team. None of the local schools of the same class had much success against them. The last game of the season was a 19 -18 loss to Tech. A score on a desperation pass proved to be the turning point of this encounter. HOMER PARKER Reserve Coach 17 1945 Prospectus
