Tennis ENTRAL,S 1940 tennis team had a fair season record, winning one match, tying in two matches, and losing the other three. Central's lone victory came in the first match of the year, when it defeated Wisconsin High by a 4 to 2 count. Central also gained one of its ties against Wisconsin High, while the other tie was with West. West won the second match by a 5 to 1 score. East defeated Central in each of their engagements, by the scores of 4 to 2 and 6 to O. Four boys were entered in the Big Eight tournament. These four were: Bob Hansen and Hale Grover in the singles and the team of Louie and,Clyde Taylor in the doubles. The whole team was entered in the city meet. Considering the fact that the boys had many difficulties in getting up a team for each match, this wasn't such a bad season. At the start of the season, Mr. Koskey was coach, but he became ill before the regular playing season started. This left the team without a coach for the first five matches. Then Mr. Frank Blau took over the coaching activities a few days before the final match. He arranged for practice courts every afternoon, aided the players with useful tips, and helped them in finishing the school tournament. The members of this year's team were: Bob Hansen, Hale Grover, Jim Meuer, Don Kirkpatrick, Louie Taylor, Clyde Taylor, Irving Levy, and Cordon Robeck. Golf ENTRAL,S golf team had a very successful season this year. It was untied and undefeated in dual competition. The city title was won by Central golfers for the first time in many years, and the team placed fourth at Beloit in the Conference Meet. This year's varsity team was composed of four seniors and a junior. The seniors, Art Severson, champion at Burr Oaks, Bob Corcoran, Bob Sleepy Wilhelm, and Ralph Hatfield, have played their last match for Central. George Torgeson, the only regular who is not graduating, will probably be the mainstay of next year's team. B team members who will return include Everett Zeke Johnson, Wally Prantner, and Wilbur Sorenson. Other Bn team members were: Everett Cich and Elvin Nehmer. This year, the squad was able to practice regularly at Monona Golf Course for the first time. Mr. Harold Pollock, the coach, posted in- struction sheets which aided the inexperienced golfers a great deal. All of the varsity team members were medalists in one match. The B team played one match with East in which Everett Johnson was medalist. The chance to practice regularly appealed to the golf squad and very few candidates failed to report regularly. The results of these constant practice sessions were evident too, because everyone's game was a great deal better than their game a year ago. Although next year's prospects are not too bright, this year's re- sults are more than satisfying. page twenty-two Record in Football Central ........,........ ..,,...., 1 4 Central ...... ......... 2 0 Central ...... ..,... 0 Central ...,,. ...... 7 Central ...... ...,.. 7 Central ,..... .......... l 9 Central .............................. 6 Basketball Central ..,..,..,,,,...,.....,...,.... 24 Central ...... ......... 3 5 Central ..,... .......... 3 5 Central ...,.. .......... 2 5 Central ...... .....,.... 3 2 Central .,.... .......... 3 0 Central ....,. .......... 3 0 Central ...... .,........ 3 4 Central ...... .......... 2 6 Central ...... .,........ 30 Central .,..,. .......... 3 7 Central ..,,.. .......... 1 8 Central ..,... .......... 3 6 Central ..,.,, ......... 4 4 Central ..,,.. ......,.. 2 5 Central ...... ......... 3 9 Central ...... ..,,..,.,. 40 Central ...,.. ........ 3 9 Central ...... ,.....,... 1 6 Central ...... .......,. 3 9 Central ...... ........, 3 2 Central ...... ......... 2 1 Golf Central ...... ..... 8 Central ...... .,.... 7 Central ...... .....
