GlcuU electixMA, loom La uc e o t the, Uma wA, Petitions, banner-rilled halls, and speeches announce to the outside world that it’s election time at Flint Central. Anyone can run for an office.

Flint Central opened its 1957-58 football season, bowing to Midland, the top team in the state, by a 25-7 score. Losing the ball twice on fumbles, plus having a 62-yard touchdown run nullified, the disheartened Indians were unable to stop the drive that gave the Chernies their last two touchdowns with only five minutes left to play. Retaliating, the Tribe came through with a narrow victory over Muskegon 27-25. Central scored three of the first four times they had the ball, to make it a 19-19 tie at half time. Late in the fourth quarter, Muskegon tied the game, but the deadlock was broken when Muskegon's quarterback stumbled and fell into his end zone giving Central a safety to clinch the game. Despite a flu outbreak, unrated Flint Central entered Ann Arbor stadium with renewed confidence and grim determination. They held the Pioneers to a 14-14 tie. T he loss of four fumbles as well as an uncompleted pass kept the Tribe from an upset victory over Ann Arbqr. However, the potential shown at Ann Arbor did not materialize in the Bay City game. Against the powerful offense of Bay City, the defense of the Indians was unable to capitalize, giving the Bay City Wolves a 47-6 victory. Hit me hard. Ann Arbor’s line is rough.
