New Field Al Ennis
Ennis’ is building a new football
field but from the way the Ennis
writer talks they will not. be able
to use it. this season. The Jackets
will have a new home this year
and we understand that it will
be ready for play with the first
game this season
Nowlin writes:
"Work is slowly progressing on
the new footbail field for the
Ennis high school but we believe
that i( will be utterly Impossible
for the Lions to play any games
at all qn the field this fall. The
rains have prevented work on the
field and the stands and for
that reason it is far behind sched-
ule. If tile Lions show any prom-
ise at ah this season, the present
stands will be far short of ac-
commodating the fans that will
turn out to see the games In
Ennis.”

So tar this season Grissom has

on a streak that threatens to be-

hitting in 56 straight games. <
With a good break in the weath-j

seem to have a talent for 'putting

Grissom's losing streak has
