Eagles And Maroon Prepare For Weekend Road Tests
St Louis Eagles travel to Auburn to face Edward Little while Thornton Academy visits Sanford for a lid lifter in the weekend set. injuries to LaCroix and Morel cloud Eagles’ outlook as coach Cote defines a probable lineup and notes veterans sidelined from last year’s victory over the Eddies.
Mariners face Sanford in curtain-raiser clash this fall
Mainstays save Yankees tartar and trusting that the boys will play the type of football they've shown they are capable of playing. The Eddies have 10 lettermen in a husky, hustling squad that's been working out under veteran mentor Steve Grenda. Although the Eddies lost one letter man Rod Durgin to Lewiston high, they gained Bill Fish of Winthrop high. Captain Bob Gilman is the only sure starter. Thornton Academy, led by Bill Pawlikowski, lists 10 lettermen back but injuries hit hard. Tom Eldridge is out for the season with a knee injury, and several others are nursing injuries. Sanford's two star backs from last year, Kahlis and Cote, are practicing well as the curtain-raiser looms.
