District games ),
Last week, preliminary pre-
paration started with the Is-
suing of equipment, assign,
ment of lockers, and physi.
cal examinations.
"It takes a lot of opganl.
zatlon to put a team toget-
her, but more than that-, it
takes a lot of cooperation,
good spirit, and good atti-
tude," said Coach Jordan.
"We hope we'll have a real
good year—but whatever hap-
pens, we intend to give it
our best."
In earlier polls, Dunbar of
Lufkin was picked for one of
the top teams in State A A play.
In other district action, Rusk
can expect the usual keen
competition from Crockett
and Dlboll.
Last year Rusk ended the
season with a five win, four
loss record for its A'-team.
The B-team had a six-win,
one-loss season; <*nd the
Freshmen won seven games
and lost one.
This season, the Eagles will
field a team minus the ser-
vices of some 15 seniors from
1968. But, what the locals
lack in experience is more
than compensated for in num-
ber. The 60 athletes repor-
ting for worlj-out include 25
sophomores; 21 Juniors; 12
seniors, and two team mana-
gers who are sophomores.
Last year's season ticket
holders have first option on
the same seats until August
31, and then all reserved seat
tickets will go on sale to the
general public. Price for the
four-home-games . season Is
$5.00 adults; $3.00 students.
Bill Braswell in the School
Administrative Building is In
charge of reserve seat sales.
