SOUTH SIDE vs. CENTRAL PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL CH,xMP1oxsH1P - The day for the Central-South Side game, which was to - decide the supremacy between them. dawned fair and cold. The stands were packed to the roof with the fans and sup- - porters of both teams. The Centralites occupied the east side ROBERT IL-RGENSHN of Lincoln Life held and South Side the west. The game was played and showed a marked superiority of the Green and VVhite over the Blue and VVhite. South Side excelled in passing, line plunging, running and tackling. The only department of the game that Central excelled in was kicking and no comparison could be made because of the fact that South Side was not forced to kick even once.

A football training camp was held from September l to 8. The camp was located along the Tippecanoe River about live miles from Delphi, Indiana. The coaching staff consisted of Coach Gilbert and Elmer VVilkens, star end for the Indiana University. There were thirty candi- dates who received the week's training. which comprised of kicking, passing. handling the ball and developing the speed of the players. Wfhcn school opened Monday, September 10, practice was started immediately. Prospects for a winning team and season were bright when seven letter men-Captain Fromuth, Norris, Aldrich. VVilkens, Rahe, jurgenson and Ridgway-returned to school. SOUTH SIDE vs. AUBURN The first game was played September ZZ, and Auburn furnished the oppositi-on. The team got away with a flying start by scoring a 33 to 0 victory. SOUTH SIDE vs. PERU The next opponent of South Side was Peru. The defeat of the team 20 to 9, was the first time that a South Side football team was ever vanquished. SOUTH SIDE vs. KENDALLVILLE The team ran wild and piled up a score of 45 points while Kendallville was held scoreless. The work of the South Side line was worthy of mention for it held like a stone wall. Fromuth played a fine game and scored tive touchdowns. The game marked the dedication of our wonderful new stadium. SOUTH SIDE vs. HUNTINGTON The following week the team accompanied by a large number of rooters went to Huntington and emerged victoriohs by a score of 27 to l-l. Victory has its price, and the price in this instance was the loss of two star players who were injured, NVilkens receiving a broken collarbone and Aldrich tore the ligaments in his l1ip. These injuries weakened the team. fpage 1161 7,7 Momsu.

LOUIS WILKENS Captain Louis NVilkens was playing a stellar game at backguard until the Culver game, in which he received a fracture to his collarbone. After his absence from the court for several weeks, Coach Gilbert decided to play him at forward, where his consistent shooting, accurate passing and untiring rloor work made him the sensation of the team's success. LOUIS NORRIS Louis Norris, all-sectional center, was probably the team's most dangerous basket shooter from short range. He rated second in total points during' the season. He had a habit of pulling games out of the tire and as the result of his accurate shooting in the tinal game of the sectional meet deserves a place , in the Hall of Fame.
