The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-11-17

During the season Cathedral grid
ders captured the all-city title by
defeating Shortridge, Manual, Tech
nical and Washington by top-heavy
counts. The Irish also conquered
Southport for the county hon0s
and annexed the central Indiana
title with a win over NobleSville.
The lone defeat handed the boys
coached by Joe Dienhart was by
Clinton. 26-O.
In the public high school series,
Tech and Manual tied. Tech de-
feated Washington, Manual tied
with Washington, Shortridge de-
feated Manual, Washington and
Broad Ripple and Manual also de-
feated the Ripplites, thus leaving
Tech and Shortridge each with
1000 per cent after yesterdays
battles.
Many Good Ends
Speaking of players, the situation
in some positions there was ma
terial galore while in other posts
there was a dearth of outstanding
players.
The ends were most abundant.
Dan VEGA of Manual was a stand
out. Yovanovich was just about all
Washington had, Pack was a spark
plug at Shortridge, Finley was the
best of the Cathedral wingmen and
Schwomeyer was just about as good
as his team mate, Veza.
Manual had by far the best all
around line in the city, and Hart
man and Rugenstein were about
even. Oppenheimer was the power
in the Shortridge forward wall, be-
sides being the kicker, and when
he went back to kick it was too
bad" at times the way the OPPOSE
ton filtered through.
Staley played marvellous ball
against Washington, and especially
in the last half of the Shortridge
game. There was little to choose
between the four named. Layton
and Krackenfels had all the physl-
cal makeup of great tackles, but
they hardly lived up 10 their size.
Cooley of Washington also looked
good at times.
Strength of Cathedral
The center of CathedraIs line
held the Irish I'D and it was the
consistent great play Of Broderick
and Wuest. at guards. and Conner
at center. that stopped the opposi-
ton. Flack was a good boy for
Washington while Rich held a bare
shade over his team mate, Fox
worthy. Presecan Of Manual had
al the requisites OF a fine player.
There was not an abundance OF
good centers. and, after you men
ton Lewis. the chatter stops. Like
wise. there was not an outstanding
quarter back in the city.
NickerSon of Tech was in there
giving every ounce of his little
frame and appears to be shade
better than Calender of Short
ridge. also a little fellow. Holmes
of Cathedral did some good work,
too.
Best Back in City
Undoubtedly the best back in the
city was John Mcmahon of Cathe-
dral. versatile in every respect.
His blocking made long gains pos
sible for Golay and other team
mates. He also was a good kicker.
passer and tackler Little Eddie
Hoyt was the chief ball lugger for
Manual. while WeStfall did a like
lob for Shortrldge behind the fine
blocking of Adams and Hamilton.
Snyder came fast at the end for
Tech. but Weaver was the depend
able ball toter. DobbS was a lad
who could 60 in at any time and
supply a punch if one was to be
supplied for Tech. and his team
mates had confidence in him.
There is little question that Car
roll Of Park school could go" on
any high school team. and Holiday
of CrispuS Attacks was good wing
man. Swindler of Cathedral did
some good line plunging at times
and L. Campbell. a fine kicker,
booted the south siders out Of sew
eral tough spots.
And that about tells the story Of
the outstanding players in Indian
apolis high school football during
