Last Friday Meridinn lost to Cop-
oeras Cove, a strong Class B team,
26 to 0. while the Cubs were knock
ing over what appeared to be a
weak AA team, Hillsboro, 25 to 6.
Coach Eugene Butler, who scout-
ed the Meridian ■ Cnnueras Cove
game, thought the Yellow Jackets
played a better game than the
score indicated and that they have
the boya for a potentially good
club which might start clicking any
Friday. Meridian moved the ball
down the field well at times, but
it was one of those nights when
the breaks went against it at the
wrong time—plus several early sea-
son errors
The Yellow Jackets have plenty
of weight up front with a couple
of 200 plus pounders in Royal and
Herring at tackle and center; the
entire line will average around 173
pounds. The backfield is big and
fast; it will average 166 pounds
with Tidwell and Saunders, both
170 pounds, able to turn on plenty
of speed. Meridian has the speed
and weight in the backfield to
give the Cubs’ flanks a real test.
Completing the Yellow Jackets'
backfield quartet are Markman. 155
pounds, and Sivadon, 170 pounds
Clifton's Cubs came through
their test against Hillsboro last Fri-
day in good shape. George Davis'
injured leg is improving, and he
will likely be able to go if needed
Gary Josey is scheduled to start
in Davis’ place Friday; otherwise
the Cubs’ starting line-up is due
to be the same as last week
Coaches Aubrey Roberts and Ray-
mond Gilmore are pleased to have
several additional boys report for
practice—Leonard Turner, A. W
Vickrey, Robert Saucier, and pos-
aible other* not previously men
tioned. The increased number of
the squad will make a stronger B
team, which opens the season here
next Wednesday night against
either China Spring’s A or Itasca's
B team. *
Tribune sportswrltcrs. Aubrey
Roberts, head coach of the Clifton
Cubs, also received honorable men-
tion as “coach of the week.”
Running Account Of Gam*
Hillsboro kicked off to the Cubs
who took the bail on their 33-yard-
line. Belcher and Davis picked up
a first down to the Cub 47. Jenson
stepped back and hit Belcher with
a pass which was good for 25 yards
to the Eagles' 29. Wallace and Bel-
cher picked up another first down
on Hillsboro's 19. but here an Eagle
lineman slipped through, threw the
Cuba for a lost, and the ball went
over. Wallace and Nieman crashed
through and caused the Eagle
quarterback to fumble, and the
Cubs took over on the Hillsboro 24.
A screen pass, perfectly timed,
from Jenson to Wallace was good
for a first' down on the Hillsboro
nine On the next play Davis crash-
ed through for Clifton’s first score;
Lockhart kicked point to make the
score 7 to 0 for the Cubs.
The Cubs kicked off and downed
the Eagles on their own 23i~ an off-
side penalty pushed the Eagles
back farther, and they punted on
fourth down from their 22 to the
Cubs' 43; Belcher picked up seven,
but a fumble gave the ball to the
Eagles on the 50; they could not
move against the scrapping Cub
line; so they punted to the Cub 22
The Cubs received a holding penal-
ly which pushed them back to
TnnrBTTFIl 19 11 IK! (JIM! ICr CIIUCII.
Wallace picked up nice yardage
but not enough to overcome penal
ty; so Cubs punted to Hillsboro on
the 50. Eagles still were hog-tied
by the Cub line and were forced
to punt. Belcher took the punt on
Clifton's ten and behind nice block-
ing returned the ball to the 26-yard-
line. Belcher then picked up two
more first downs with hard run-
ning; Davis and Wallace added
another to put the ball on the
Eagle 44. Belcher took ball on a
reverse and nearly got away, taking
ball to Eagle 24. Jenson tried quart-
erback sneak, but fumbled Eagles
recovered but two play* later lost
the ball when they fumbled. Wal-
lace and Belcher made a first on

School Enrollment
On Par With 1956
Enrollment during opening week
at the Clifton Public Schools reach
ed 592. which is two more than
the number enrolled on opening
week in 1956, announces Superin-
tendent Kent Appleby. An addi-
tional 19 students are attending the
colored school here, and eight
others, who now are picking cotton,
are expected to enroll in the color
ed school.
During the school year the en-
rollment increased to about 620
whites in 1956; it is not known, of
course, at this time if the number
of students again will rise this year
as the school year continue!. Such
will be necessary for the school 4o
have the daily attendance needed
to maintain the present number of
teachers.
Enrollment in high school is
higher this year, and there are
fewer than last year in the ele-
mentary grades. High school en-
rollment is 182 compared to 172
in 1956, while 410 are enrolled in
the elementary school compared
to 418 in 1955
Enrollment by grade is at fol-
lows; 49 in first, 51 in second, 52
in third, S3 in fourth. 70 in fifth.
35 in sixth, 59 in seventh, and 41
in eighth for a total of 410 in ele-
mentary grades: 55 In ninth, 41 in
tenth. 47 in eleventh, and 39 in
twelfth for a total of 182 in high
school.
First week enrollment at Cran-
fills Gap, according to superintend-
ent J. W. King, was 72 in high
school and 119 in grade school for
a total of 101; these figures repre-
sent a alight decrease in enrollment
over last year.
First day enrollment at Meridian
was 314 for the entire school, a
drop of 17 over the first day in
1956, but Superintendent Walter
Parks was hopeful the figure would
reach about the same number as
last year when all students are en-
rolled in school.
Morgan’s first day registration
was 110, up a little from the pre-
vious year, but under the final
number who enrolled during the
1956 session.

mended for their able efforts in

sales campaign to be set up by
the committee at an early date to
raise needed funds to support
