Cooper’s neophyte Cougars, their sophomoric charges
eager to make good on a second effort, do battle with the
Class A Clyde Bulldogs at 8 p.m. Friday in Public Schools
Stadium.
Approximately 4,000 fans are expected to watch the
new Abilene school and the injury-riddled Clyde eleven
battle.
Coach Clovis Riley’s Cougars made their historic
debut last week with a narrow 15-14 victory over the
Baird Bears, while Coach Jon Tate’s Bulldogs have yet
to savor the sweet smell of success.

to play — neither at full strength.

Tom Miller, the biggest man
on the Clyde squad at 190, hurt a
knee knocking a dummy and has
been sidelined for the season.
Another starter suffered a dis-
located elbow in the first game
and may be out for the rest of the
year.
The Bulldogs have lost both of
their starts this season, but they
certainly haven't been embarrass-
ed. Roby beat Clyde in the opener.
14-7, and Roscoe turned back the
Bulldogs, 14-0, last week. Both
of those teams are unbeaten going
into Friday night’s games.
"We’re small and we don’t have
any speed,” Coach Tate said. “Be-
fore the season, we were opti-
mistic and looking forward to a
good season, but key injuries hurt
when you don’t have any more
boys than we do.”
There are only five seniors on
the Clyde squad — all starters.
Coach Riley shifted a backfield
position for Friday's game. He
has switched Drew Tucker, who
was hurt in the Baird game, from
left halfback to a starting fullback
position, pushing leading- rusher

Moving to the left halfback po-

place of Jce Benson. Benson, 170,
