These boys of the freshmen football team will some day carry the ball for the varsity. They come to practice every night though, just as the varsity, but they do not receive the yells and cheers as does the varsity. Football is a game of bumps and bruises. Boys that can't take it should not come: out for the sport. There is no place for Jonathan Van Dyke Jones on the grid squads of Central. The boys who compose the football squads of our school can take bumps and bruises and still come up fighting. The-se kind of boys will be welcomed on the football teams of Central. The freshmen squad was every bit a fighting team this year, They took the bumps of the varsity and reserve squads. While they were doing all of this they played games with other schools around us. The team as a whole was light and fast. They out manuevered their opponents many times with fast tricky plays, which ate up the yardage under their feet.

Boy did you see that leather singe the mesh on that shot. Say, who is that team out there? cries a spectator. That team is the freshmen squad of Central High school , answers a loyal Central rooster. Boy, they sure can play ball, yells back the spectator, This is what most people say when they get a glimpse of Central's future varsity squad. These boys all live to play basketball for the school and their records prove it. At the practice sessions they scrimmage the reserves and once in a while the varsity. They work diligently for their coach. These boys never kick or crab if they get bawled out or if they have to stay a little longer one night. All of Central's basketball teams use the same method of play so that when the boys become upper classmen, they are familiar with the play of the varsity. The following records will show you how impressive this year's freshmen squad was. BILL BROWN ...ag 7.-

Did' you see that basket? Coach Novotny's boys are plenty good. These younger Dragons while only in the seventh and eighth grade have the pep and spunk that will make them champs. The idea of junior high basketball is not only to represent the junior high of Central but also to give the varsity coach time to look over the material that he will have in the: future. ln cooperation with Rex Settlemire, our head basketball coach, George Novotny teaches his boys the brand of ball that is played by the varsity. This way the boys get into the groove of playing varsity ball and by the time they are in senior high they can play a better and steadier game. If the boys are caught in the beginning and all of their bad habits are broken before they can be formed, then the player can play a better offensive game. During the basketball season of 1941-42, Central's junior high team was very successful. In years to come most of the same prodigees will be playing in the varsity lineup and helping their alma mater to victory. MILTON KAMIN -S8 8-f
