Boys Swim Every Wednesday Night in Central High Pool FORTY-FOUR boys entered the swimming club at North- ern founded two weeks before Thanksgiving by the Mott foundation. The club met each Wednes- day evening from seven until nine o'clock in the pool at Cen- tral High school. About 25 boys attended each meeting. Love of swimming was the motive for joining the club. Water polo was the chief game that was played although the boys played tag and other sim- ilar games. Swimming was taught to those who had not learned the art, but most of the fellows who joined were accomplished nata- tors. No dues were charged and the club was open to any boy in Northern. Houston Must Replace Eleven Men in Fall WHEN Northern high school's Valley Championship foot- ball team reports for practice next fall, Coach Guy Houston will be confronted with the task of replacing eleven of last sea- son's twenty-one lettermen. lncluded among the graduat- ing gridders are such All Valley stalwarts as tackle, Pug Bare, center, lim Gallardo and back- fieldmen, Sam Carpenter and Ioe Lawson. Other monogram 'winners who have completed Viking gridiron activities are lack Carpenter, Iohn Falk, Tom Heavner, Duane Pagel, Bob Pea, Fred Rettenmund and Clarence Schultz. Of the ten returning lettermen who will form the nucleus of next year's squad, only three, Eddie Krupa, Robert Bohl and Leonard Sweet are backfield performers. The line appears strong with a host of veterans including Ralph C-ibert, Bud Fromholz, Louis Bare, Wallace Dutkow- ski, Bill Katzenberger, Bernard Morris and Don Norton due to report. Coach Guy Houston is also banking on many members of last year's sophomore team and a likely looking crop of new- comers to augment his varsity.

Central is Swamped 27-0 in Annual Turkey Day Tussle CLIMAXING the football season with the annual Thanksgiving day game, a fighting Northern eleven down- ed Central 27-O, the largest score recorded in the history of the classic. Fred Rettenrnund lost no time in breaking the ice when he scored the first touchdown early in the game. After a march down the field, Ioe Lawson passed over the goal line to Fred who put the ball down for the score. ln the third period, Lawson ran wild through the lndian defense and added twelve more points. The Vikings continued their attack and Bud Fromholz snatched a pass from lack Carpenter who saw service in the closing min- utes of the fray. Five Gridders Make All-Valley Eleven FIVE Northern football stars were selected by the coaches of the Saginaw valley for posi- tions on the Saginaw valley eleven. Warren Bare, Iim Gallardo, Bud Fromholz, Ioe Lawson and Sam Carpenter composed the five, Warren Bare was the main- stay of the Viking forward wall throughout the season and was placed at left tackle. This was his third year as varsity tackle at Northern. In his first year as first string center Iim Gallardo proved he Noroscope was the best center, not only in the Saginaw Valley, but in the entire state. Best defensive end in the valley was Bud Frornholz, I-le not only played end well but kicked many points for North- ern. Outstanding running and blocking ability earned Ioe Lawson a halfback's berth on the all-valley team. The valley fullback position was awarded to Sam Carpen- ter for his generalship and line- backing play. THE Central lads fought hard, but they were no match for the Viking offense once it got under way. ' ln the last few minutes of the final quarter, when many of Northern's reserves were in, Central staged an 86-yard march, only to be again stern- rned by the Viking line. Points after touchdowns were rnade by Bud Frornholz, Pug Bare and Sam Carpenter, who also acted as quarterback and called the Vikings' scoring plays. Passes were intercepted by Lawson and Krupa-l..awson's being good for a touchdown and Krupa's for a l5-yard gain. The fine Work of Warren Bare, Iarnes Gallardo, Bud Frornholz, Ioe Lawson and Sam Carpen- ter, during this game and the merited their the all-valley entire season placement on eleven. Iames Gallardo and Warren Bare also were nomin- ated on the all-state team. This win gave Northern two legs on the Wildanger Trophy. Page 23
