THE BUZZER 1927 Conference Champions Prospects for a winning football team were not bright in September as live letter men had been lost by graduation the year before. Euclid Central surprised everyone, though, by going through the season without a defeat and was the first Conference team to win all games. Much credit is due to Coach Rader, and to the splendid co-operation of the faculty and student body. On October first the Euclid squad was first seen in action on the Euclid gridiron with the determination to win all the games, and started right off by de- feating Maple Heights 38-0. The following week the team journeyed to South Euclid, result Euclid 50, Brush 0. A week later, shivering in the cold and rain, the Euclid rooters saw the light Euclid team repel the strong Rocky River team on the one yard line. The following week the powerful Shaker Heights team was sub- dued. A long pass from Sadosky to Korencic, a few line plunges and, with the fight- ing spirit of the line at its height the plucky Euclid eleven defeated, in the last few minutes of play, john Marshall, the last of the strong Conference teams. Averaging a touchdown every two minutes the Euclid scoring machine defeated Longwood 65-0, Sadosky crossing the goal seven times during the game. The following week Mr. Rader and the boys went to West Commerce and added 69 more points to their total. On November 24 the Euclid team went to Shore and beat them at their own game. Playing on a very wet field, Shore had the advantage, but no team was to beat the Euclid team out of the laurels which were in their very reach. The last obstacle safely out of the way, the boys were the undisputed champions of the Greater Cleveland Conference. It is the ambition of every athlete to be nominated on an All Scholastic team. Four of the Euclid Central football team were placed on this team this year: Phypers, tackleg Powers, center, Sadosky, left halfbackg and Korencic, quarter- back. john Korencic, one of the best quarterbacks in the city of Cleveland, was captain of the team. john was high point scorer in 1925 and was nominated on the All Conference team in 1925 and 1926. Bernard Sadosky was nominated All Conference halfback and was high point scorer in Cleveland with a total of 122 points. He was selected by the Press as one of Cleveland's most valuable players. Henry Powers is to captain the 1927 team, and as only five members of the team will be gone Euclid Central should have another successful season. FINAL G. C. C.

THE SEASON Constant changes in the line-up hindered the progress of this yearis basketball team in the beginning of the season. A superior kind of foul-shooting by Wadsworth and excellent guarding by Korencic enabled the team to gain consistently, and to finish the season with a .533 rating. Wadsworth scored 174 points, more than half of the total for the team. His ability was recognized by the Plain Dealer sport editor who gave him a place on the first teamg and by the News, on whose second team he was honored. Capt. Korencic, after guiding a championship football team, took the reins once more and successfully pulled the Euclid squad through many difficulties. He is one of the best guards in the city, and will be missed next year. Bernard Sadosky is to captain the 1928 team. Good luck, Bernie.
