JACKET SQUAD
AT TWO WEEKS'
TRAINING CAMP
Approximately Thirty Recruits
With Others to Follow Will
Train Near Bluff Dale
Coaches Jim Mobley and Jimmy
Marshall left Stephenville Monday
afternoon taking approximately
thirty gridsters with them to the
football camp located on the Lam-
ed Ranch four miles south of Bluff
Dale.
For the next two weeks there
will be intensive and rigid train-
ing with much drill on fundamen-
tals of the game for the particular
benefit of the new men. The first
week will be devoted largely to
conditioning exercises with some
punting and passing .The second
week will see much bodily contact
with blocking, tackling, signal run-
ning and scrimmage being used.
Daily, drills in skull practice will
be held.
Strict rules designed to benefit
each man will be made nnd regu-
lar hour for eating, working and
sleeping will be kept.
During the four weeks until the
Weatherford game, a non-confer-
ence one, the coaches expect to
whip the Yellowjackets into a
speedy, scrappy team which can
more than hold its own against
the Weatherford Kangaroos.
This practice game, scheduled a
week before the crucial battle with
the mighty Bobcats at San Angelo,
will show the coaches the weak
spots in the Jacket line-up. That
week will be utilized in strength-
ening the weak spots and in prim-
ing the entire squad for the first
encounter with a Class A oppon-
ent.
Camp will break September 3
and school will open the 6th. Stiff
daily workouts will continue on
the local field from the opening
date until the Ranger game, No-
vember 25, which will end the sea-
son.
Following is a list of the play-
ers who accompanied Coaches Mob-
ley and Marshall to camp: Norval
Wood, Derace Moser, R. D. Lan-
caster, Charles Lockhart, Mack
Blakeney, Dolton Hodges, Carl
Pemberton, Jr., Cecil Ballow, H.
