Zilenziger or Simendinger?
What's in a name? When the Central
| High School baseball captain was elected
| yesterday afternoon to succeed Eddie Ba.
| reiss, who failed to come back to school,
| it was reported that Oscar Zilenziger was
the choice of the Crimson and Gold play.
ers A discussion was overheard between
| two schooiboys, one who claimed that "Ze.
| linzinger' was the correct spelling and the
other that "Zienziger" was right.
We have it on good authority that the
| high school captain signs his checks "Zilen.
ziger' and that there is no m in his on
cial handle. Perhaps the confusion was
| caused by the fact that Central well re-
| members certain Kenneth Simendinger,
all-around athlete, baseball and basketball
star. Zilenziger and Simendinger are not
| so different in spelling or sound. The for.
mer Central star is now at La Sale.
