VARSITY GOLF—Front Row: Paul Zavalla. Pat Gammon, Bob Vowell, Eldon Grose, Back Row: Ed Zavalla, Frank Young. Golf With a team that boasted three polished lettermen supported by an able corps of mostly new golfers, the Flint Central links- men paraded through an eleven-meet schedule with an impressive record. The team got off to a good start winning 451 to 474 over a hapless Arthur Hill five. The veterans that Coach Dick Evans had on hand were Frank Young, Paul Zavalla and Ed Zavalla. Heading the list of their supporters were Pat Gammon, numeral winner in 1944, Phil Timyan, and Bob Vowell. Other Indians who saw some service and should be stalwarts for next season's team were Junior George Coulman and two sophs, Tom Elder and Gene Mishler. Two Seniors who were on the squad this past season were Dave Coon and Don Dutton. Baseball The baseball nine, sporting seven letter- men including three veteran hurlers and two excellent receivers, proved one of the best at Central in recent years. Coach Jerry Udell's charges gave a good account of themselves in both Saginaw Valley and City competition. The lettermen on hand for the season were pitchers—Manley Benmark, Willard Revord, and Southpaw Phil Timyan; catchers—Ken Sheffer and Don DuLude; infielder—Bob Elston; outfielder—Bob Reynolds. Also on hand as a third catcher was Jim Bersinger. The regular infield has Ray Steffen at first, Rollie Benford playing second, Scotty Wilson combining with Elston at short, and Don Morrow handling third. Wally Knob- lock, Bob Lambert, and George Brown covered left and right field. Art Stewart, Leon Wilcox, Eddie Wheeler, Doc Hodgins, and Don LaDuke were all pitching candidates.

Track The Indian track squad with exception- ally strong performances in several events and an all-round balance was one of the best at Central in several years. Six boys gathering 19 Vi points gave Central fourth place in the State Indoor Track Tournament coached by Stan Broome and Bill Melzow. The outstanding performers throughout the season were Owen lackson, first-place dash- man in the state meet; Jesse Thomas, hurdler and jumper; Ted DeCourval, pole vaulter; Norm Jones, quarter-miler; and Jim Marr, miler. The relay team also gave some bril- liant performances running near 1:35. It was composed of Bill Speckin, Jack Harrison, Jones, and Jackson. A number of others also gave good per- formances. By events, they were: hurdles— Jack Hallitt, Joe Klobucher, Walter Novak, and Jack Hayes; dash man—Jack Marr; distance men—Edward Eriksen, Wayne Root, John Voorheis, Richard Graves, Jim Adair, J. D. Williams, Burton Walker, and Elwyn Pilley; shot-putters—Chuck Robbins and Warren Knowles. Tennis The tennis team, under the direction of Coach Clement Rowe, turned in many fine performances and compiled a favorable record for the season. Mr. Rowe had three lettermen returning from the previous sea- son, Paul Buben, Bob Meythaler, and Norm Beattie, with Buben and Meythaler relied on to carry the biggest load. Tom Muhn, a numeral winner from the 1944 season, was also on hand. The netters had two principal objectives for the 1945 campaign. First of all they wanted to beat Northern, and secondly, they wanted to better their '44 record. After defeating Northern for the City title for six consecutive seasons, the Norsemen spilled the Red-Black's last season. The Tribes' record from the previous season was two wins against three losses in a season con- siderably curtailed by war-time travel dif- ficulties. The team competed in nine meets in 1945.

Girls' Sports Many girls at Central were active in the sports offered to them both through their gym classes and after-school participation. By being active in one or more of these sports, the girls gained points toward their school letter. Basketball is considered one of the most popular girls' sports at Central, and had an especially large turnout this year. Volley- ball also seemed to be particularly liked by the girls. Both Junior and Senior Life- saving was offered this year as a part of the sports program, and a large number of girls received their badges. Later in the year field hockey and baseball were played, completing the sports program for the girls. Much credit should go to the managers of these teams, who spent long hours keep- ing the equipment in shape. The Managers were Evelyn Francis, basketball; Shirley Hatfield, field hockey; Beth Soule, bowling; Margorie Sperry, swimming; Shirley Davis, softball; Mary Ballantyne, hiking; and Catherine Smith, volleyball manager. Miss Prahl, Mrs. Park, and Miss Carlson, the gym teachers, should also be thanked for their work. The Girl's Athletic Association is posed of girls who have earned fifty points towards their letters. Through the G. A. A., the girls have a chance to complete their total of points and add to their sports in- terests. GIRLS' SWIMMING—Front Row: M. Elwood. R. Lang. J. Clement, A. Groom, K. Earl, N.
