CENTRAL UNION
TEAM DEFEATS
ALUMNI ELEVEN


For cllarity's sweet sake the Cen
tlal high schools demon gridiron
machine last night rolled onto and
over an alumni team, leaving said
alumni team, somewhere among the
blades of grass on the high, school
field ,digesting the 80 to @ defeat
handed it by sthe high school team.
Their defeat vas no reflection on
me saiumni team, since the high
school boys PLAYED one. of the most
brilliant games of a schedule that
has scintillated. with brilliant per-
| formances. A potentially powerful
squad was defeated through lack OF
! practice and by . squad that has
everything a football team should
( have
Coached by Ernie Sanders. the
alumni eleven had slightly less than
! two weeks in which to prepare Tor
! the contest.
Using shift play. the alumni
gained many yards during the game.
but an inability to hang onto the
bail made matters tough Tor the
graduates. Byrd was starr ball car
rier fo- the alumni, making a num-
Der Of good gains. He failed, how
ever. to get away to any longer
gains. for which he was famous a
few years ago. Briggs and Lowe
were star performers for the grad
yates at end positions, while HoShl-
zaki stood out as an exceptional
tackle.
Al the end OF the first half the
score stood at 18 to 0, none OF the
three touchdowls having been
converted. The second half pro
duced two touchdowns for the high
school. and both We're converted.
Ends Star
Fisher and Gonzales starred as
high school ends, playing a hard
game throughout and catching some
line passes. The alumni safety was
usually downed in his tracks by
these ends. Tackett and Moore
showed their best at tackles
Tackett gave his best performance
of the year. and will bear watching
another season. He aspires to take
Edgars place at fullback, Reams
and Heald stopped all tries through
the center Of the line. The alumni
discovered that a rumor to tie effect
that the high school was weak at
center was so much hot air.
"Racehorse" Hammer, captain
closed his high school career in the
proverbial blaze Of glory. Hi runs
q
its feet. Wynne eXcelled in his
kicking performance.
One OF the outstanding plays OF
the game was the catch by Edgar OF
a 3O-yard pass This play netted
a touchdown He will be missed
next year. "PeWee" Price was an
other who played a great game, run
ming the team like a general. HIS
pass to Fisher, which resulted in a
Seward gain, was another feature
Of the evening. Another long pass
was from Wynne to Gonzales.
