Temple Cats Invade
Jacket Hive Tonight
In Cleburne Stadium
The Temple Wildcats invade the
Jacket Stadium tonight
with great hopes of upsetting the
perfect record held by the Yellow
3ackets.
There were many Temple people
in the stands at Ennis last Friday
night watching the Jackets
through their charges.
The Jackets have been
go
over-
powered by Temple the last few
years, but have great hopes of
putting a “screaming stop” to that
tonight.
Temple enters the game tonight
after being defeated by Bryan 6-0
two weeks ago.
Graves received a bruise in the
Ennis game and was out for the
last half. McCord did not even
suit out last Friday night due
to a leg injury. However, tonight
all members of the Yellow Jackets
are in fine shape and ready to go.
A large crowd is expected to at-
tend the game tonight as it will
mean a great deal to both teams.
A great deal of hope is held by
Cleburne due to the fact that
Temple was defeated by Bryan.
Kickoff time is set at 8:00.
