John Moore, 169CALVIN LANE, Head CoachJOHN EMERSON, Hoad CoachJim Powell, Assistant Bob Cox, Assistant ’Bill Stipp, AssistanttConch John Emerson will bring a team of Lamar Tigers to Neosho tonight that almost entirely relies ' on its ground game for vardatfc. In fact, against Aurora last Week. Lamar threw a total of only four passes—and had three of them intercepted.Coach Emerson had to rebuild almost his entire team this year,/ because only two lettermcn returned from last year. They were Bob Slinkcr, quarterback, and Bob Shirley, right end, both seniors.There is one sophomore in the Lamar starting lineup, and he is John Moore, 169-pound fullback who has scored most of Lamar's touchdowns this season, both on long runs and plunges.There are three extra-big boys in Lamar’s line, two at the tackle slots. Duane Jones weighs 205 pounds, while Wilmer Bishop weighs 198. Center Roger Reed scales in fat 187 pounds.These three weigh more than the biggest Neosho lineman, Johnny Altizer, 170-pound tackle. The Tigers will have a terrific weight advantage in the line (a situation Neosho is fast becoming accustomed to), outweighing Neosho man-for-man on an average of 20 pounds. The comparison is 172 152.
