54 All Conference Team Members Not pictured: Donald Weibel

The Central Indians, under the direction of Coach Edgar Braun and Ass1stant Coach Robert Melenich, opened the season on Friday, September 9 with a 20-0 win over Dassel, with Don Weibel sparking the victory. The following Friday they traveled to Minneapolis to meet the pre-season favorites, the Little Gophers of University High. The pepped-up Indians managed a 14-0 win to bring them much acclaim throughout the M-V circuit. One week later they were again at home facing the Shakopee Indians whom they downed 19-8 for their third straight triumph. The next Friday they were inspired by a large Homecoming crowd and topped off the festivities with a 27-0 win over the Orono Spartans. Big Butch Nellen, the Indians' three­ time All-Conference tackle, figured in the scoring with a four-yard plunge. The following week, again at home, the Indians went on the warpath with a 45-27 win over the Chaska Hawks. Ollie Feltmann and Chuck Kranz sparked the win with Ollie scoring foL r touchdowns and Chuck tallying a trio. The following week they traveled to Waconia to meet their arch-rivals, the Waconia Chiefs. The Chiefs, who finished in the cellar without a win all season, gave the Indians a tough test as Coach Braun's charges had to settle for 20-13 win. The time factor was with the Indians in the Chiefs' homecoming game, as the last play of the game found the Chiefs on the Indian two-yard line. With six straight wins, and sole possession of first place, the Indians found plenty of trouble. The defending champion Bloomington Bears handed the Indians their first defeat of the season by scoring two touchdowns in the fourth period to win by 14-7. This defeat knocked the Indians out of first place in the conference standings. The next week, the Indians came back hke champions. Suffering from the Bloomington loss, they retaliated by dumping the Watertown Eagles to the tune of 13-7. Chuck Kranz starred offensively, but a lot of credit must be given to Bob Schepers who was outstanding throughout the game on both defense and offense. With an assist from University H1gh, who beat Bloomington by 13-0, the Indians won the conference title by one-half game over the Bloomington Bears. The overall season of seven wins and one loss gave the Central Indians an . 875 percentage for the best record in their history. In addition to this record, they won the Minnesota Valley Conference title for the first time in five years of conference competition.

The 1955 Central track team, under Mr. Simonson, worked hard through­ out the season, but found trouble at the district meet at Glencoe. Although they failed to pick up any points, the meet gave valuable experience to the boys. They also participated in the meet at St. John's, but due to injuries and other misfortunes, once again went pointless. However, the season should be a contributing factor to this year's success as ten of these sixteen returned to school this year and will provide a nucleus for the 1956 team. BASEBALL Although the Indians lost the services of their great left-handed pitcher, Don Jorissen, they came back with a good ball team in 1955. The team wound up the season with eight wins and three losses, including two wins and one loss in the district tournament. Chuck Kranz and Virgil Zellmann turned m some fine pitching performances.
