, '1 ' W JAMES MARTIN--HJimV had a streak of bad luck that prevented him from.making his letter this year. During the part of the season where most of the substitutes were gain- ing for themselves several playing-quarters, Jim was A ineligible. By the time he was again eligible we were in a portion of our schedule where substitutions by necessity were few. Nevertheless uJimV played good basket ball and has a chance to gc farther'with it next year. HARRY WELLEH--HHappyU did more tewnrd keeping the team in good spirits than any ether player on the squad. He is an excellent player and has that additional asset which many players lack--a good nature. We wish there were more like him in Central. Although he did not make his letter this year, he should be one of the leaders of the squad next year. JUNIOR DANNER--Junior proved himself an accurate shot and a good floor man. He is one of the three eighth grade players who will form the nucleus for the Central team , in 1952. JOE SCAHCH--HJeeH was one of the most efficient managers we' have ever had. Instead of Waiting for the call for mana,ers to come Joe volunteered his services. He -u N , I: U 1 disnla ee so much ability as.a manaeer tnat there was .L 1, R LD not a question about his election by the squad later on. His services extended all the way from tending miner injuries to stopping the game at Mansfield when the official scorers failed to notify the referee about the four personal fouls a Mansfield nlafer had ., 1. been charged with. Joe also became famous as an assembly speaker. We hope this will not be his last 'ob as manager ef an athletic team. D SCORE KEEPER' LND TIME HFEFEHS1 Gur scoring and time keeping were efficiently and accurately done by Joe Williamson and John Warner.

It was the same story of a green, inoxperlx ienced team unable to cope with a group of players who hed the advantage of having played together a season. The Central team showed themselves strong offensively, but pitifully weak defensively. it the half the score stood Z5 to 7 with the Alumni ahead and at the end of the game, 50 to 23. Stark and Hero lcd the scoring for the Alumni with 27 points between them. Whitcum led for Central with n total of nine. December 12--Central vs Sparton Torch Club--at home. Ccntral's second defeat was at the hands of the Sparton Torch Club, a team composed of Harding High School juniors. The three years this team had played together gave them n decided advantage. Fred Vestal, later a Harding star and Winner of the Central Chic foul-shoot- ine contest, led his team to a 55-lo victory. O December l9--Central va Faculty--at home. T The Central-Faculty contest will be one of the long remembered games of the season. Before the contest thcrc was a great deal of speculation as to the strength of the Faculty team. This was probably due to the formidable size of some of the newer members of the Faculty and the secret prdctices that were held before the game. The neophytes had a SO to le advantng 'I '1 1 J. 1 4- at the nalf. nt tnc end of the game eacn seam had added 25 points to its score making a total of 53 for Central and 59 for the Faculty. Evans, Faculty center, made Z4 points while Whitcum was able to che out a paltry 19 for his team. The Faculty team was composed of Mess'rs Baker, Gabler, Orcutt, Evans, Mitchell, Allen and Ice. January Q--Central vs John Simpson--at Mansfield. Whenever Central and Mansfield meet on the hardwood, it is certain that there will be a spirited battle. In the six games that the two schools have played each other there has been an average difference of four points a game between them. Although Central was beaten by ten points in her first contest ww Mmnsfield this year, the game was more excitinh than the score would indicate. Mansfield, led by W e.1:,.'f J' G Sl?
