By lllfll, the school hopes to have several tennis courts con- structed at the east end of the fit-ld. Football ENTRAL,S l939 football outfit wasn't rated too highly by the pre- season dopesters, but the season had hardly begun when Coach Pollock's Orange and Black team started performing wonders, and it Hnally turned out to be the surprise team of the conference, winning four games, losing three, and finishing in third place in the Big Eight Conference. The sparkplugs of the team were Ted Scalissi. at left half, Jack Derr, at end, and Blaine Hendrickson, at the fullback position. These three boys were responsible for all of Central's touchdowns, and for nearly all of its ground-gaining. Scalissi hnished second in the Big Eight scoring column with 30 points. He also was awarded the Zor Shriners, trophy for being the most valuable player in the city. Probably the biggest disappointment of the season came when Central lost to Madison West by a 19-7 score. The game was played in the afternoon on a field that was made soft as a sponge by a heavy rainfall that had postponed the game the night before. Central never could get started and West walked off with an easy victory. The greatest thrill of the entire season was Central's 6-0 win over Madison East, the team which had beaten Central during each of the past five years. The game was the first night game that Central had ever played with Eastg the game being played on Armistice Day Eve instead of the usual Armistice afternoon. Scalissi scored Central's lone touchdown on a brilliant 53 yard run on the third play of the second half. At the end of the season, Hve of the Central players, namely Dftrr. Scalissi, Hendrickson, Vito Colletti, and George Torgeson. were placed on the lVlirror's mythical all-city first team. Derr, Scalissi, Hendrickson, and Colletti were also placed on the All-Big 8 Team.
