Football Season
Is Underway 30
Bulldogs Report
Coach Harry White greeted
30 footballers Monday as the
Bartlett Bulldogs opened foot-
hall practice and immediately
began prepping for the opening
game of the season only two
-weeks away.
Bartlett plays host to the
Class A Granger Lions Septem-
ber 2.
There were ten lettermen at
practice this week. One George
Fowler is out of the state at
tending a church conference
but will report as soon as he re-
turns. The other two lettermen
Randy Schwertner and Steve
Sartor were not on hand.
Only three lettermen were
lost through graduation last
year. They were Darrell Mess-
er Jimmy Caldwell and Edwin
Krause. Two other lettermen
Rocky Cating and Bob Thorn-
ton are not available this year.
The Bulldogs stand to be very
much improved from last year's
team which had a 1-8-1 record
and finished in the district cel-
lar. The only question will be
how high will they rebound?
Besides the additional year of
experience that most of the
hands have now this will be a
much heavier team than the
Bulldogs have fielded in many
years. "White said this week
that he could field a team which
averaged 170 if he picked them
by weight.
