Bartlett-Granger Open
Football Season Friday
Bartlett entertains Granger
Friday night as the Bulldogs
and Lions open the I960 football
season.
Granger's Class A " aggrega-
tion rules as a large favorite
over the locals on opening night.
The Lions are also an odds on
favorite to win their district
this year after a so-so season
in '59. Their chief opposition
should come from Rogers just
down from Class AA.
Bartlett has not beaten Gran-
ger since 1954 when the Dogs
turned the trick 7-0. In the re-
cent series which dates back a
dozen years Bartlett has only
won three times. Those three
were in succession in 1952-53-54
when Coach Ralph Poteet field-
ed excellent teams.
In the last few years Bulldog
grid fortunes have waned and
in the past six years Bartlett
has scored only three touch-
downs on their close rivals.
Coach Lee Koy Haak expects
yoeman duty from rugged Jodie
Svehlak and rapid H. T. Ward
this year. Ward wrecked Bart-
lett hopes with three long touch-
down sprints in last year's
game. Svehlak a 180 pound
halfback drives hard and is
plenty fast. Johnnie Volcik will
probably be at full with Buck
Pope and Mitchael Spacek also
doing halfback work. Johnnie
and Tony Trevino and Darwin
Kaderka handle the quarter-
backing. Linemen of note are Timothy
Hajda. Bennie Rychlik Tommy
Cervenka Daniel Mohel A. J.
Kubicek Ervin Volek Dan
Steffak Walter Brooks Jerome
Dykowski Theodore Kovar
Glen Morton Raymond Stuchly
and Donald Kovar.
Offensive and defensive start-
ers will be the same for Bart-
lett. Coach Harry White said
that the boys were showing
good spirit this week and he
felt that they would be ready
for Granger.
The Bulldog's will be much
heavier than in the past few
years. The starters hit the scale
at 1828 pounds 166 per man.
The linemen will average 171
pounds per man.
Coach White has made some
personnel changes this week.
One of the moves sent Carlton
Neitsch from end to tackle and
Bobby Hill from back to end.
The tentative starting line up
shows Jonathan Franz at- quart-
