In their second and final season under head coach Butch Nowack, the Bearcats compiled a 6–2 record (1–2 against MCC opponents), shut out four of eight opponents, and outscored all opponents by a combined total of 108 to 81. The team lost to its in-state rivals Western State Teachers (0–54) and Michigan State Normal (0–13), but defeated Northern State Teachers (34–0) and Detroit City College (13–0).[1] [2] Coach Nowack left Central State in the spring of 1931 to accept a coaching position at Indiana.[3]
