Bartlett Travels
To Florence For
Grid Game Friday
Bartlett travels to Florence
Friday night to engage the
rough Florence Buffaloes In the
renewal of a series that has pro-
vided many spectacular thrills.
Two of the same boys who
helped the Buffs defeat the
Bulldogs 13-0 last year will be
hack in harness for the purple
nnd white this year and will be
seeking to turn the same trick.
They are Redge Priest and Tom
Reavis.
The Bulldogs outgained Flor-
ence on the ground last year
but couldn't move on the goal
line and finally succumbed to
Buff passing.
This year the Buffaloes beat
Bertram 14-2 and tied a rugged
Marble 'Falls team 8-8 before
falling to Holland 32-20 Friday.
Henry Zrubek may have some
plans for a passing attack on
the Buffs this year from the
double and triple wing that the
Bulldogo employ. As for the
running game Ronald Shelton
Donald Shelton and Frank Ra-
fael will be the workhorses.
The Buffs will be slight fav-
ories in the game but it should
he a good one.
