Yes, this is our college .. . .
the sand-grey bricks, the hollowed
steps, the pink pigeon feet on the
third-Roor skylights,
This is the campus we have known
the donnitory corridors
filled with popcorn smell,
the stadium packed with
football color and excitement.
Yes, this is our college ....
the windows framed with vines,
the girders of construction
framing older roofs.
This is Central State
16
A College is ....
Guidance and instruction.
It is Experience
Sharing of itself.

Pompoms blossom · · · ·
Saturday - and the brisk blue skies,
The streets confused with bands all brass and braid
With canvas worms and fire wagons,
With angels, tr:lmps, and dogs.

The expectant stadium, the sun and dust,

fOOTBALL
With a young and inexperienced team, the Pointers placed fourth in the con·
fcrence while playing their first season of single-platoon football. Their season
record was five wins and three losses, while their conference record was four and
tWO.
Coach John Roberts was ably assisted by H ale Quandt and student assistant,
Curt Ta)•lor. Four Pointers received All State mention; they were Don Herrman
and John Smith, backs; Mark Schommer, end; and Jack Crook, tackle.
Hermann and Noonan tied for scoring honors with 30 points on five touchdowns each. The Pointers rolled up 1,661 yards in 390 tries for a 4.2 average while
their opponents had 1,082 yards in 310 attempts for a 3.5 average. The outstanding
yard-gainers were Smith, 693 yards; Herrmann, 347 yards; Noonan, 280 yards;
Miller, 213 yards, and Vance, 126 yards.
Pointer backs attempted 91 passes, completed 34 for 554 yards, and had 7
intercepted. Wieman led in this category with 69 tries, 27 completions for 360
yards, and had 6 intercepted. Schommer caught 18 for 313 yards to lead the con·
ferencc ends in receiving.
After the second ball game, the Pointers were without their Little AU-American
fullback, Nubbs Miller, and all-mnference tackle, Bob Bostad, as well as letterman
Joe Sanks. These players were inducted into mili tary service before the conference
opened play.
At the close of the season the Pointers chose Mark Schommer as their captain,
and Don H ermann as the most valuable player. Schommer and I Iermann were the
only seniors on the '53 Pointer team.

BASKETBALL
Centra] State's bucketeers may have taken a back
seat to the Ste\·ens Point State Champion prep stars
as far as records and recognition are concerned, but
the 1953-54 Pointers were placed high on the coveted
list of sheer light and determination. The record
books disclose a moderate 10· 10 season effort, even
though the P and G's lost nary a game when it came
to the thrill and excitement league.
Uncle Sam effected a big dent in the Pointers' pre·
season hopes by claiming several main cogs of the
1952-53 line-up, including high scorers Bob Bostad,
Bob Blomiley and Joe Sanks. Coach HaJe Quandt's
cagers countered the loss, however, by forming a new,
weJI-balanced aggregation, capable of upsetting the
powerhouses of the conference at any time
Veteran sophomore Ken Roloff was a leader in the
Pointers' attack, tossing in the highest individual
point total for the season, as well as being a stand-Qut
in the Roor·play depanment. Rangy Bob Johnson
made his debut to the varsity a spectacular one, com·
ing along fast toward the end of the season. Orv
Koepke, frosh center, could always be counted upon
for a good game and played best when needed most.
Erv Redding, Carl Wieman and newcomer Jerry
Vance, the '1irt1e" men of the squad, displayed good,
steady ball-handling, with ball-stealing a favorite
pastime of each. Senior Fred SchadewaJd, always
the spark-plug of the squad, was honored by being
elected captain for the year by his team mates.
Reserve power laid in the hands of Ken Wasser·
man, John Amburgy, Jerry Boldig, and Carl Huberty,
and a 6ner job could not be expected, each one doing
his best when the time arose.
With only one senior to be lost from the squad
due to gtaduation, it looks as if Coach Quandt will
have plenty to work with next year. Lot of luck. men!

two mile were new state records. Mark Schommer, how·
ever, was the leading point-maker with 67*. His 19~
points in the Michigan Tech relays was the best output
of any Pointer during the season.
