the Lions in a 25B struggle.
Lott opened the season with
a tie at Bremond and came back
the next time for a 6-0 win ov-

the Lions for a 28-6 win and
the next week Riesel popped
Lott with the same score.
Last week the Lions turned

with a 6-0 upset win over tough
Academy.
Coach James Ward has al-
ways fielded tough District 26B
clubs and is doing the same this
year in 25B. The Lions have
five starters back from their
second place 1959 team but are
a little short on experience and
depth.
When the season opened

starters: David Blann quarter-
back John Self Larry Pelzel
and Ray Vera -Cruz at halfbacks
and Charles Archer at fullback;
'Lawrence Wellen 195 at cen
