t3ebiebt of the Jfootball Season
The third year of the Eagle training camp opened in September on the col-
lege athletic field.
On the first day of this pre-season training more men than ever before re-
ported for workout. Before the end of the season the pigskin chasers counted
up in number to fifty-five. Out of this number there were only three veterans.
Under the tutorship of one of the strongest football men in the South, this
squad of "would-be stars" were soon worked into a strong eleven.
Coach Fouts repeated his work of the year before and opened the season with
two Southwestern teams. His scoring on his home team, the Bavlor Bears,
gave him a strong hope of winning another T. I. A. A. championship. In the
opening games the Eagles fell back on their old tune of the year before but came
back strong at the end of the season.
The hard fighting team that the Eagles had been worked up to before the
close of the season reached its zenith in football tactics for the year when they
walked off with a victory from their old-time rivals, the Bobcats, on their home
ground.
Most of these men will be back next year, and Coach Fouts is looking for-
ward to building on this year's work a championship team for 1925.Ninety
