Falcons Open Season Against Ganders In Baytown Clash
The Jesse Jones Falcons travel to Baytown for a 1961 season opener at Memorial Stadium facing the Ganders. Jones is led by backs Bates and Willingham with a strong line, while Baytown backs to test a tougher foe after last year’s weak league showing. Subis tightens practice, but injuries and limited depth cloud the Falcons’ margins as players like Kluch Scantlen and others recover or sit out.
