Central's team this year played seven games, but managed to win
only one of those. The team's difficulty stemmed mainly from a lack
of experience. But this lack of experience did not alter the drive,
spirit, or courage to fight displayed by L. G. Carmody's squad.
The first game of the season was with Pacific University with Central
coming out on the short-end of a 20 to 0 score. The only Central
touchdown, a break-away run by Louie Benville, was erased by a penalty.
In the conference opener, the College of Puget Sound took the advantage
to score a 20 to 6 victory over the fighting Cats. Two passes by John
Cavallini, three line plunges by Jim Miller, and another plunge from
the one foot line by Bob Propst accounted for Central's only tally.
The Cat's third game was with the powerhouse Pacific Lutheran
squad during the Lute's homecoming. The determined eleven scored
a 25 to 0 triumph over Central despite a fighting second half by
the Wildcats.
Page 101
Central's only victory came in the game against Whitworth. The Cats
came from behind the Pirates in the second half to win 19 to 7. Tow
of Central's scores came on intercepted passes, one climaxed by a
55 yard run by Bob Hibbard.
Another homecoming game proved the downfall of the Central squad. This time
at the University of British Columbia, where the Thunderbirds scored a
20 to 12 win over the Cats. Central's two touchdowns came on an
intercepted pass by Don Rundle, and a line plunge from the 5 by Bob Propst.
At muddy Woodward field the Cats met the Eastern Savages, only to bow again
by a score of 25 to 6. The Cat's score came on a line plunge by Ted Lea.
Central's Homecoming game also proved another disappointment to the
hard-fighting squad with Western's Vikings racking up a 33 to 7 thumping.
A poor first half gave the Vikings all but one of their touchdowns.

Basketball
Coach Leo Nicholson's cagers were the surprise basketball squad
in the Pacific Northwest in 1952. The Wildcats boasted 17 wins
against 11 losses, a 9 won and 3 lost second place conference record,
a 10-game winning streak, victories over powerful league rivals, and
near victories against Washington State and the Johnnie O'Brien-paced
Seattle University Chieftains.
The Wildcats started the season with consecutive losses to
Gonzaga, Whitman, and Seattle U., but found a scoring punch in six-foot,
six-inch Ken Teller and evened their record at 5 and 5 before the
conference race began.
In the Seattle U game Central led as late as the third quarter,
and held All-American Johnnie O'Brien to one of his lowest totals of the
year - 18 points.
Central got off to a fast start in the Evergreen race by winning
seven straight conference games, including an over-time game against
Whitworth, the eventual titalists, and a one-sided upset over Pacific
Lutheran. The Wildcats added two victories over St. Martins, and
one over Seattle Pacific to round out a 10-game victory streak.

The winning streak came to an end when the club traveled to Cheney.
The game was nip-and-tuck until the final minutes, but Eastern
pulled ahead to win, 67-59.
The following night, the Cats moved to Spokane for a game with Whitworth.
The Pirates got revenge for the overtime game at Ellensburg by trouncing
Central, 85-56, and taking over first place in the conference standings.
The next week-end saw Central losing to PLC, 73-59, but finding themselves
again at Wenatchee to give the WSC cagers a scare before going down with
a 41-45 loss. The Wildcats again got back to their winning ways by
trouncing British Columbia, 65-50, and Western, 69-43, to clinch
second place in the standings, and a trip to the NAIB playoffs at Cheney.
Gonzaga was picked as the first Central opponent in the tournament.
Nicholson's Cats held their own for the first half, but couldn't
hold the pace in the third quarter and fell back. A final rally fell
short and Gonzaga went into the finals. The preliminary game to the
finals found PLC taking the Cats, 63-55.
Captain Billy Lee and leading scorer Ken Teller were picked for the
All-Evergreen Conference team with freshman Billy Baber receiving
honorable mention as Central's only other candidate for the honors.
