have their best season in history.
one thing is certain: The team will
have its greatest overall team
height in the history of the school.
Six men tower to the O-H mark.
Last year Coach Glen Whitis

record under rugged Lone Star
Conference fire.
The varsity under the direction
of Football Line Coach Whitis litis

for three weeks and the freshman
charges have been toiling each
afternoon under the direction of
