1936 5 PCRT REVIEW Lady Lucle Frowns n Kosleeymen ...by Bill Smit ARLY last September when Central's football team started practicing under the able coaching of Mike Koskey, Milt Diehl and Harold Pollock, the team and student body had no idea what the season ahead had in store for them. With several veterans returning, hopes of a pretty good team were the order of the day. But, Lady Luck had a dif- ferent future written down in her book for the Orange and Black followers. She had smiled on the Central gridders too often in the years past and struck back with biting ven- geance. Before practice was going full swing, word came through that Bob Arnold, all-city back for two years, would be un- able to join the squad for the first two or three games. This was but the first bad blow to Central's hopes. The Saturday before the opening game Coach Koskey divided the team into two squads and held a practice game. With the game well under way and Dicky Potter carrying the ball, came the second injury. Potter was tackled and in going down he fell on his elbow. An examination proved what everyone feared, a broken arm. and one of the most promising backs lost for the season. Still not discouraged, the squad traveled to Kenosha for the Big 8 opener and came back on the short end of a 6-0 score and with Steve Chiovero, star fullback, out for the season with a broken ankle. Shortly after this, lib Kennedy and Rudy Fuske both received bruised legs which kept them out of several games and hampered them when they were playing. Lady Luck was having no mercy on the Central squad and after humiliating defeats by Milwaukee Lincoln and Beloit, Bob Larson, giant lineman, was lost for the season with appendicitis. Racine Horlick and Ianesville were about the only games Central had a chance of winning but in both these games the majority of the players were banged up and bruised and as a result could not play the ball they were capable of play- ing. In the Ianesville clash they were Without their coach. who was away at a funeral. They dropped both games. Next came the West game and no serious minded person conceded the Orange and Black gridders a chance and when the ball game was over they had lost not only the game but one of the best guards that ever donned a football suit. It was a pitiful sight to see Ioe Teasdale being helped from the field with a broken back. From then on Lady Luck eased up and in the final game of the year it looked like Central had a victory chalked. It was the Armistice Day game with East and every Central player was playing his heart out. George Cuccia, who played the game with a sprained ankle, was a standout. In the fourth quarter, leading 8-0, Central had victory turned into defeat in the last minute of play. At the close of the season George Cuccia, Bob Arnold and Ioe Teasdale were placed in the Mirror and city papers, hon- orary all-city team. Cuccia was also named on the Big 8 team.

wwefll Miss Your' ...by Bm swf: sour this time of the year we see the coaches of Central's various ath- letic sports wandering around with a glassy, dazed look on their faces. They are worry- ing about what they'll do next year without the host of sen- iors that are graduating. In our imagination we can picture something like this: First we see 'KMike Koskey, coach of the Central football and basketball team, silently tearing his hair out as he watches Steve Chiovero turn the tossel on his cap from left to right. Over in another cor- ner Milt Diehl's jaw drops as he witnesses the same scene. Steve, indeed, will be sorrow- fully missedg he is without a doubt the star athlete of this year's grads. A performer in football, basketball, track, box- ing, tennis and golf, his achievements by this time will long be remembered. Next George Cuccia passes in review. An outstanding tackle on the gridiron, guard in basketball, and 165 pound champ in boxing, Iudge will be sorely missed. Every- one will miss Iib Kennedy and his dashing runs off tackle and guard. K 0 s k e y seems to be thinking, could it be about who'll open the holes for the backs like Marvin Stern did or is he wondering who will keep next yearls squad in good humor like Bill Stony,' S p o n e m did. Suddenly Milt gives a shrug and as our eyes travel toward the stage we understand. Claude Hopkins has just fin- ished his high school career and Diehl knows there isn't another miler in the city com- parable to Hoppy. As Wayne Berkley goes by we turn to watch Coach Koskey, but alas, by this time his head is in his hands and he is slumped far down in his seat. Turning to Milt Diehl, we see that his condition is not much better than Koskey's. Already three outstanding track men have their diplomas and another is ineligible for fur- ther competition. Although Coach Koskey hasn't much 9 The Orange and Black this year with the help of Mr. Leibenberg has been able to have the above pictures depicting action in track and football. 9 The top picture is the start of the mile run in the Central-West meet. Center left shows Dicky Potter is going over in the pole vault. In the center, Steve Chiovero is shown just after tossing the shot. Dick Potter is shown again on the right making a brilliant broad jump., Orlando Flowers is pictured doing the same thing in the photo at the lower right. The foot- ball picture is one taken during the East game with King Oakey kicking from placement. farther to go before he'll be on the floor, he slumps a little further as Norm Levin and Walter Atwood pass in review. By this time we can see over Koskey's head and, lo and behold, there is Leroy Klose, Central tennis coach, and his face actually has a smile upon it, Qcontinued on page 561 page twenty - :ergcn 5'
