As spring turned to summer and summer to fall the girls got the yen to play volley ball. In September, 1932, a volley ball tour- nament was begun and girls of all the gym classes entered. As fate would have it, the tourney was successful and only ended after a hot battle between the twelfth grade1's and the eleventh graders. Lois Neill with her team of volley cagers' was victorious over Merel Christensen, who led the valiant elev- enth graders. The victors were overjoyed and the losers were not discouraged. Never- theless, the volley ball tournament had ended and was making place for a new act in the girls' sports. Volley ball was over but basketball was begun. Ah! There is Miss Shepherd coming on the floor. She is going to start the final game for the championship. Girls are dash- ing to and fro with their gay colors stream- ing. The game is about to start. Ah! There's the whistle! They're off and this time it is Betty Utter and her following who are the winners. They have just defeated Miarion LContinued on Page Twenty-fivei

1933 ..THE ORANGE AND BLACK... June INGSKH4 PROPAGANDA ITH THE CLOSING of another school year our mind runs ba-ck to the Central football team of the 1933 season. It was what could be called entirely success- ful, and the team, so ably led by Captain R.omie Hilgers, won a great deal more than half its games. Central com- pleted the season with a total of four vic- tories against two defeats and one tie, that with East, traditional rival in all kinds of sports, 'especially football. In opening their season against Edgerton, the Central 1933 gridiron warriors showed more fighting spirit than the Orange and Black team had displayed in years. The credit for this should go to Coach Mike Koskey and Coach Edward Swiderski, both alumni of the University of ,Wisconsin The latter served during the football season only. Central took the Tobacco City gridders by the score of 44-0. The line played especially well in this fracas, Captain Hilgers, Stanley, and Nee turning in well-played games. Central's o p p o n e n t in the conference opener was Racine Washington Park, led by Johnny Petrakis, a brilliant halfback. This contest tested Central's ability to the utmost, but they rose to the occasion' in the second half and scored a touchdown in that period. Cuccia kicked the point-after-touchdown and his kick turned out to be the margin of vic- tory, as Johnny Dunn broke through and blocked Radewan's attempted place - kick after a 'touchdown by Petrakis in the fourth quarter. Although victorious in two games, the Orange and Black team was destined to almost certain defeat, as the Redmen were stronger last year than they had been in years--and ordinarily they make up the toughest team in the Big Eight Conference. However, the great Central team spirit rose to its highest point during this contest, and the Central gridders trod down the powerful Redmen to the score' of 13-7. Playing a steady defensive game, Quarterback Smith took advantage of two breaks and opened his bag of tricks just long enough to score two touchdowns, which was enough to bring the victory. The ends, Karas and Cuccia, played a sterling game. In perhaps the most listlessly fought game of the entire season, Central lost to West High school. The Koskey-coached men were simply over-powered and their lack of aggressiveness lessened the Central line to such an extent that West scored twice. In the closing moments of the game Central backs tried many passes, but these were either intercepted or grounded. When the gun rent the air, Central had not crossed its opponents goal-line. The line played its worst game of the season. Perhaps rejuvenated a bit, but still feeling the sting of defeat at the hands of West, the Orange and Black squad, forty-nine strong, journeyed to Janesville. The line cameiback to its former fine type of play and l-ed the Central squad to a 13-0 victory, John Dunn and Hank Stanley turning in stellar per- formances. The Bower City lads just couldn't stop the shifty and driving Madison backs, and Bid Smith and Phil Caruso tore gaping holes in the Bluebird line. Returning home, the Central gridders engaged the conference leading Beloit team for first place. The strong Line City back- Iield romped through the Central forward wall to get into scoring position. Three times they took to the air, and three times they went through a weak pass de-fense to score their three -touchdowns. Central scored her only touchdown in the third quarter. i Central barely coasted 'through to a '2-0 victory over Racine Horlick. The high spot .of this game was Smith's 80-yardpunt which ultimately resulted in the game's only score. Racine ou-tplayed Central' offensively, scoring eleven first downs to-the visitors'-four. Next came Wisconsin High, runner-up in. the Southern Six, who entered the game with the odds on them, because of the Orange and Black's erratic playing- in its last threesgames. Central swept the Badger Preps off -their feet with two touchdowns early in the game. Smith punted well, and Ray Hanke picked holes in the opponents line with swiftness and ease. ' 1 ' The final game of the yea1', the annual Armistice Day game ,with East, was played in a driving blizzard before 2,500 shivering fans. The first half was scoreless, although East came close on Mueller's long jaunt, bu.t he was upset on a beautiful tackle by Smith. In the third quarter Kernan, East center, broke fContinued on Page Thirty-onel ' cc 79 TRACK Central track team recently concluded a good season. The Orange and Black lost to West 65W to 42m in a dull meet, but defeated East66M1 to 41W in the second and last meet of the year. In the city meet, Cen- tral finished second to West. The scoring was as follows: West, 463 Central, 295 and East, 11. Bid Smith, Eddie Quinlan, and Ray I-Ianke were the outstanding point winners. Smith scored 48 points, Quinlan 24, and Hanke 24. In the city meet, Smith won the 100-yard dash and the broad jump and placed second in the discus throw. In both victories he set new city records-10.2 sec- onds in the dash, and 22 feet, 3M1, inches- in the broad jump. The latter mark betters the state record, but of course is not official. Quinlan was first in the 220 and second in the 100. Hanke was second in the pole vault and. tied .for second in the high jump. Cen- tra-l's other points came when Trachte, Bond, and Jefferson picked up third places in the mile run, the half-mile run, and the low hurdles. d ' .Letters will be awarded Smith, Quinlan, Hanke, Dunn, and Trachte. l' .-- -fi. l' I ,s . i r It has been suggested that William Six-letter Bid Smith might make a Japanese kimona of his letters or, when sewed to ether the k b tif I T rk' h t l.
