Scrimmage 'iM||y
Show Weak Points
In Tiger Machine
With the approach of the opening
of the 1932 football schedule for
the Electra high school Tigers, they
are beginning to present a much
more formidable eleven to enter the
district race of the Texas Inter-
scholastic League. The squad has
had over three weeks of intensive
training, and some of the boys are
almost in tip-top shape, while oth-
ers are coming along more slowly—
not training so good, maybe; but
nevertheless, if everything works
out as Coach Gibson is teaching the
gridmen, they should be set to show
t&e taunted Wichita Falls Coyotes
t£ thing or two when these two
teams meet here Friday night, Oct.
7.
The initial scrimmage was held
last Friday afterrioon. Not so good
and not so bad. Some of the boys
came through uexpectedly and
showed up fairly well; yet thero
were some who acted more like
dummies on both the defense and
offense and might as well not have
been among their ranks—there were
iettermen who fell down on their
jobs, too. Some of*the stellar per-
formers had never played in^a con-
ference game in their whole career.
A few of the boys, who had pos-
sibly had never had a football in
their hands before, turned in ex-
cellent performances, namely How-
ard Simms, for one. This is a
husky lineman to watch this year.
He tips the scales around 185
pounds, and puts every ounce of his
weight and energy into the game,

«Jongated linesman opposite Geoige Mesdames Arley Ackerman
i'llis and Griffith Lambdin was tin*
offensive team able to make any
yardage. This is another second
stringer that needs attention. Louis
hord and Troy Blakely, end and
guard, respectively, wore two more
scrubs that dealt the regulars havoc
tnd endangered some of the first
stringers’ coveted positions.
At the present, it looks like a
battle between Grin Stroud, Glenn
Minion, Art Torvie and Lamar Cur-
ry for the guard positions. Minton
*nd Torvie appear to have an edge
•on the remaining two, but Stroud,
with his one year’s experience, re-
ceives the major attention at tlrs
post. Other guards who might yet
he heard from are Troy Blakely.
Carl Hall and “Toodie” Fisher.
It is almost a decided fact that
George Ellis and Alton Hogle, let-
termen, will be fh*sl choice for
tackles, with Howard Simms 'bid-
ding strong for a regular vbertli.
The pivot position will undoubtedly
lie between Maynard Stroud, lec-
terman, and Robert Cryer. The
mentors will have two veterans on
r.he wings, Griffith Lambdin and F.
h. Able, with George Ellis, who
lettered last year at end, on hand
to shift to end.
The regular backficld is very in-
definite, with only one letter man
back, R. T. Boutwell. Coach Gib-
-inn is trying several combinations
in the backfield, and as to who will
be first choice is uncertain. Those
who are out for backfield are:
Boutwell, Raymond Curfman, Leon-
ard *Foy, Sid Smith, Manard Wat-
kins, Edward and T. L. McCracken,
Woodrow Allison and Valton Hall.
Only one more week remains be-
f«oe the Tigers open their schedule,
*\hen they take on Coach Harvey
Stanford’s team from Matador, Fri-
day night, September 30. The coach-
■ s are expected to work the boys
1 u fl and late in order to get them
*t i for this opening game, at which
•m* will milk tlu* opening of thj
iev\ lighung system installed at
hi.rb -choul athletic field.
