iirFlW|iji ' I 18 I) nil n .
By JOHN HIGGS
Returning this afternoon from a
twelve-day camp at Alexander will
be the surprise package of the Oil
Belt in the personage of the Yel-
low Jacket football squad, and
when we say surprise package we
are not jesting. Jimmy Marshall,
head coach with his head buried
deep in his crying towel, loudly
laments that he hasn’t the slight-
est idea of the potency of his club
and none of the members of the
squad seems to have the slightest
idea of their strength or maybe
they are putting on a “Won’t
Talk” campaign to play upon the
good side of Old Man Psychology
who has had more to do with the
outcome of footbal games than
any other man living. At any rate
after an hour and a half of scout-
ing around we could find out noth-
ing about the team except that
they have been having some long
and rough workouts and will come
home in top physical shape.
Several new men, in fact a whole
squad of new men, were turned
over to Marshall and he has cram-
med as much football knowledge
into their heads in the last two
weeks as is humanly possible and
all of the boys who left with slight
projections around their midrifts
now have themselves in good shape
and are as tough as naiTs.
Promising among the newcom-
ers are Connie and Bill Jones of
Cleburne who weighed in at 160
and 172 respectively. It is not
known definitely whether Bill will
be eligible, but Connie has already
received his clearance papers and
has been working out regularly
with the first string. Connie, com-
monly called “Bulldog” and “Gor-
illa" has been tearing things up
and it looks as if the locals landed
prize package unless he falls
out of bed and breaks his leg.
Best bets for starting assign-
ments so far are Martin and Nance
at ends, King and Keith as Ikck-
les, Jones and Tudor *as guards,.
In the backfield most prominent
among the "tryouters” so far have
been John A. Whitacre, Delton
(Mrs.) Hodge, Lamar Kay, and
Ramey Welch.
This tentative lineup, which is
our own idea and not the coach’s,
has five lettermen, five squadmen,
and one sophomore. This line-up
could be shifted in several places
and if something new in the back-
field turns up no doubt Kay or
Hodges wiU be shifted to the
line.
The loss of C. B. Rushing, cen-
ter and letterman last year, was
very hard to take as was that of
Donald Wood and Jack Holt. Wood
had a finger mashed off but will
be ready to play before the season
is over, probably within a month.
Holt, a transfer from Bluff Dale,
was proving to be one of the
camp’s star pupils but he has a
badly sprained arm and may be
out for the Comanche game. Hoiit
weighed in at 170 and was play-
ing tackle.
This year’s team, although no
more experienced than last year’s
team, will be plenty large for any-
one, averages 162 pounds with tne
extra weight coming where it -is
needed ana the smaller boys being
in position where they won’t need
it as much. Keith and King will
be tackles and they weigh 190 and
170 respectively and this will real-
ly be an asset to the team because
if the tackles are big and rough,-
we hope, a team has an extremely
good line foundation, and it will
take this to put the Jackets over.
Comanche will be in front of the
Jackets next Friday night and this
will be the real test. This Monday
morning quarterback diagnosis is
merely his opinion and not the
official and absolute straight of
the whole situation but just a lit-
tle informal outline that will give
you a little better idea what’s go-
ing to come off this season between
the Jackets and their opponents.
Guests of Mother
Mr. and, Mrs. J. A. Roberts and'
son, George H. Roberts of Hamil-
ton, are visiting here this week
with his mother, Miss George
Henry Roberts, and family.
