ily too.
The Maydelle boys and girls
teams play Gallatin at Maydelle

Rusk's Eagles are prepared to en-
tertain highly regarded New Lon-
don on the local gridiron Friday
night at 8 p.m.
The Birds are all pepped - up
over their win over Fairfield last
week, and feel that they will take
the measure of New London.
Injuries still have slowed the
Flock down some, but all boys are
doing better. Derrell Pryor, who
was injured against Fairfield, is
back, and will play football Fri-
day night. Morris Goff, who suf-
fered a head injury, has been do-
ing light workouts this week. He
may see limited action. Johnny-
Blank's leg is still in a cast, how-
ever. Bubba Jared has been slow-
ed down with a charlie horse, but

' e I is expected to be ready by tomor-
row night.
New London has a record of
four wins and one loss so far this
season. They run from the wing-
ed "T", and have a well balanced
hall club. They have an excellent
defensive linebacker, a 212 lb. boy
named Woodruff. He is big and
rough. Scout reports say that he
is the best they have seen this
year.
Rusk and New London have
about the same size teams, New
London is heavier in the line, but
lighter in the backfield.
The Eagles looked mk'hty good
in mauling Fairfield last Friday
night. The Flock pushed across
vention and control activiites of
the association, Rev. Schwitter
said. The local campaign will be
a part of the 47th annual Christ-
mas Seal Sale to be held through-

tion.
