Hard Comet Drill Ends In 6 6 Tie At Royster Field
Two Chanute High School football teams battled to a 6–6 deadlock in a pre season public exhibition at Royster Field. The Blues led early on a 45 second pass to Phil Franks but the Whites answered with a goal line stand and a second quarter fumble recovery for a White touchdown. Coach Dick Purdy aimed for balanced play across squads with many seniors and lettermen, and praised the effort while noting offensive line concerns ahead of Friday’s opener against Argentine High of Kansas City.
