llMiflfiS BASKETBALL SQUAD THROWING A FOUL basketball Central Junior ' s basketball team inscribed its name in the hall of fame along with the good old teams of the past by turning in a season of thirteen games and only one game chalked up against it. Out in front in these swift moving battles stood Riggs with his ever timely short flip into the basket and Captain Dillon with his dashing dribble and floor passing. Mallon and McPherson alternating at center started the goalward procession off well with their leap at center and their followup shots under the baskets. Our guards were Peltzman, Craghead, Worley, and Coleman. Peltzman and Coleman had the ability to go down with their own offense and drop in a pretty basket now and then which eased their comrades along toward the coveted victory. Craghead and Whitaker made valuable players but passed on to the Senior High in the middle of the season and Hanenkratt performed as a utility man carrying with him an in- spiration with his speed and pep. The two games played with Northeast were forfeited to Central as was also one game with Manual. Manual won the other game played on their floor. Country Day with a fine looking big team went down to defeat twice to our team as did Westport and Northwest, and Lathrop fell before their onslaught three times. r j!!as::i:«KJsx- Page One Hundred Forty-eight

Trach As the Ceejay goes to press, it is early to say just what can be looked for in the way of victories from our track team aside from the fact that Central has never had a poor track team, has never placed lower than second and since its beginning in the worthy effort, it has never lost a dual meet and has failed to win only two of the big meets; that of the Quadrangular and the K. U. Invitation last year. That is a pretty heavy reputation for this season ' s team to maintain but there seems to be a lot of good material waiting only to be developed, and from day to day the outlook grows brighter and brighter. The lack of an indoor track was a severe handicap to the indoor relay team but with very little training it made a splendid fight losing only by inches in the K. C. A. C. meet. The Missouri and Kansas meet was a disappointment as Central ' s first runner, Doran, was tripped and fell on the first turn, throwing the team out of the race. The third meet saw Central Junior again making a grand fight up to the last and being nosed out at the tape again. Doran, Riggs, Worley, Washington, Tevis, and Hanenkratt were representatives in these relay races. The best of the unlimited group are to travel to Lawrence for the K. U. Invitation meet April 16, after which will come a dual with Westport, April 29th, on the Central field for both unlimited and 115-lb. teams; then a dual with Northwest in K. C. K., May 7th, for the unlimited followed by a dual for the unlimited with Central of K. C. K., May 14th, and then the big Quadrangular, May 22, on our field for A and B divisions.
