Tan ANNUAL Rnrnacron Timex squan Soccer , The purple and white Soccer team last fall displayed a splendid defensive game out lacked punch on the scoring side of the game. Central tied North once, South twice, and Webber once. The victory being scored against North. Some of the outstanding players were Klisch, Wrege, Lutenski, Brown, Lisee, B. Grant, Loney, Milne, Fry, Vanek, Burns. Track Many of last year's point winners are still in school so the present outlook seems bright. One thing certain, we cannot win the championship this year on last year's reputation. Track is a sport that most every boy in school can take part in. Last year Central swept the field in all classes win- ning the meet. Let's repeat. soccmz TEAM PAGE THIRTY-ONE

Tau ANNUAL REFLECTOR nova' ms: BALL sqlmn Base Ball This year's call brought out 60 men for baseball but none of last year-'s champion- ship team are back and only two of the substitutes. However the boys that are out are doing well and will win some games. Central Jr. seems to be particularly short of pitchers this year. The rest of the positions are pretty well taken care ofl Tenny, shortstopg Ziemba, left iieldg and Spence, first baseg look particularly good. The cold, wet spring has discouraged many of the substitutes some of whom would probably have won regular jobs. Continued on page 33 mans' BASS BALL squlxn PAGE THIRTY

ri ' THE ANNUAL 'REFLECTQR 'f The' Scarlet Glow I V, By Grace -Norris ' ' ROM behind an oil lamp, on the desk! in front of the window, in Uncle Eb- ner's room, a beautiful scarlet glow was coming forth. Now this had caused a great deal of excitement for the past few days. Uncle Ebner, Aunt Jane and their reliable maid Matilda, had tried and tried to solve this mystery, but had failed. It was the? middle of June and vacation .was drawing near. That meant that Bob and Dick would soon arrive on the farm to spend the long summer months with Uncle. Ebner and Aunt Jane. Matilda also enjoyed having the boys come, but she would declare that boys were erful pests. Bob and Dick arrived at the farm on the twenty-fifth of June. The boys were glad to be back again. They could smell Matilda's cookies before they were in the house. The first night that the boys were there, when Uncle Ebner and Aunt Jane were talking with them in Uncle Ebner's room, a beautiful scarlet glow, even brighter than before, came gleaming in the window be- hind the lamp. Aunt Jane and Uncle Ebner had said nothingg while the boys stared with wide-open eyes at the sight before them. Gee! exclaimed Dick, f'What do you spose that was? Still no one spoke. Then it disappeared entirely. What could it be? It was two weeks after Fourth of July before they ever caught sight of this scar- let glow again. In the meantime, Dick and Bob had organized a Detective. Agency between themselves and Bud and Tom, the boys across the lane. They had explained to them all about the mystery that every- one in the Ebner household had tried to solve it. Bud and Tom had agreed to a plan that Bob and Dick had planned to do on Monday night, this being Saturday, they didn't have very much time to get ready. This was their plan. Tom-'and Bob were to be outside the window of Uncle. Ebner's room, while Bud and Dick 'would be inside' the window, where they could get a good look at what took place during the evening. They had not said anything to Uncle Ebner, Aunt Jane nor Matilda about it. As Monday night drew near, Aunt Jane thought that, as the boys -had to go to town tomorrow, they had better go upstairs early, but they protested and soon received permission to go out with the boys for a while. When out in the yard with Bud and Tom, the boys quickly went to their posts to await the coming moment when the mystery would be solved. The boys had been ready for fifteen min- utes, when suddenly the window was slowly turning a bright red, but there was noth- ing to see but the red glow on the window pane. Bob. who was on the outside, felt kind of nervous about staying therei all night. Finally, fifteen minutes later there came a knock at the front door: .Tom, who was nearest it, quickly ran around to see who it was. It was Farmer Brown from across the road, who 'had brought 'Uncle Ebner a jug of apple cider. ' With a nod he descended the steps and started to come around the house. Tom warned the boys, then.he and Bob quickly climbed into the window to wait 'til Farmer Brown had passed. Farmer Brown had passed. It was eight o'clock. -Aunt Jane was calling them. They had not solved the mystery yet, but the glow still appeared on the window pane. Suddenly Bob thought he heard a faint whistle in the distance. It sou ndcd like a train whistle, but it couldn't be that because the nearest tracks were ten miles away. It came nearer and nearer. It stopped only a few feet away from them. The boys noticed that the beautiful scarlet- glow had disappeared By jigger, exclaimed Tom, If that ' isn't Old Redfacef' Hello Redfacef' called out Dick, was it you' that was giving us,that glow. on our window?
