Spring Drills Begin For Baby Tiger 11
The Young Junior High School Baby Tigers start spring football drills at the high school tomorrow afternoon. Coach Crawford Mosley expects about 50 boys from grades six to eight, with around 15 lettermen from 1947 but only four regulars. Regulars Wilkes Church Evans and Cherry form the framework. The team will be light with little experience and drills run three to four weeks, likely ending with an intra squad game. Tiny Fair Isle north of Scotland is noted for sweater patterns and as a migratory bird stopover.
