Brady Bulldogs
Coming Friday
The Brady Bulldogs, state
A A finalists last year and
generally conceded to be in
that same spot this year,
will get a real test when they
play Stamford here Friday
night Game time is 8 o’clock.
- The boys from Brady have
won three games this year,
holding"* "vlW'ories over Bal'
linger, Winters and Coleman.
Brady beat Ballinger 28-6
while the Stamford Bulldogs
won 38-6. .. i" ■■ '
The locfol hoys learned a
lot in their game last Week
which they lost to the giant-
killing Sweetwater Mustang;;.

some mistakes hut in general*

and teams.”

the game and the team
afterwards.
gave good accounts for them-
selves,” Coach Larry Waites
said.
TWo- ailing Bulldogs art*, ex-
pected to be ready to start
Friday. End Duane Lindsey
who injured an ankle in the
Ballinger game, played a few
downs against Sweetwater but
he’ll start this week. Centei
Wendell Robinson, whose
200-plus pounds were sorely
missed last week 4n the cen-
ter of the line, has worked
out this week and should be
ready." No other casualties
have developed..
Quarterback Cotton Thomp
son and Tom Lcvvorn likely
will be put all year.
The Brady team has an all-
senior bac k field and most of
the boys' on the line are play-
ing their last year. Many-of
the Brady .b6ys played against
Stamford in the finals two
years ago.- By far the major
ity played on last year's team
arid during the J957 season
