1918 Football Tragedy -When the Central's footballers for the season of 1918 were called out, the prospects were far from bright. We had no coach, and only one veteran, Farley, was back. However the old team spirit was there, and every one was determined to have a team up to Central standards.

Frank Steketee, last year's captain and fullback, offered his services until a permanent coach could be secured. Day by day under him the team gradually welded into shape. Finally "Stek" had to depart for college, but "Heinie" Lichtner was secured as mentor. "Joe" Kerwin was elected yellmaster.

Central-Union Game - A contest that started to be very interesting and close was forgotten when Central's sensational quarterback, Gordon Scott, popularly known as "Scotty" was severely injured. He was rushed to the Blodgett Memorial Hospital where it was found that his neck was broken. The city's best physicians used their utmost skill to save him, but Tuesday night, November 12, 1918, he passed on into the next world. His last words were, "It wasn't Union's fault."

The game was played in a sea of mud and ended in a 6 - 6 tie. Bob Gray played a stellar game for Central both on defense and offense. He caught a punt from Cornwell on his own 35 yard line, and with Palmer's fine interference, he romped down the field for Central's only touchdown. Hulswit, a second team man proved to be a mighty good player. Captain Clemens starred for Union.

In Memoriam

Deep in the minds of all Central's students and faculty, of hosts of friends throughout the entire city, lies the memory of Gordon Scott, our own beloved "Scotty", who has given his all for Central High. Last year he captained the second team through the entire football season without a defeat, a truly wonderful record. This year it was "Scotty" who was the hero of our first team, it was "Scotty" who as called on when gains were needed, and it was "Scotty" who made the gains.
Gordon Scott was not only the star of the football team, for he was a "star" in his studies also. Night after night, completely exhausted from strenuous football practice, he would sit up and study, study, study. For had not Uncle Sam asked all boys who were too young to go "over there" to get their lessons well, thereby doing their "bit"? And "Scotty" was an "E" student.
It was recently said, "Everybody in Central likes 'Scotty'." No truer statement was ever uttered! Those who didn't know him liked his cherry smile, his dashing plunges through the line, and his fearless character. And to know him was to love him.
"It wasn't Union's fault", his last words, typified his character and aim through life - to make other fellows happy.
