If hard work, enthusiasm James Dominy, Johnny Cones,
Robert Russ, Jimmy King,
Robert Hare, Beroie Dunn,
Gerald Walker, Dale Dillon,
Kenneth Crocker, Reggie Madi-
son.
The names above are ones
you are sure to hear from this
season and the list doesn’t in-
clude about 40 Tigers now on
the reserve squad, some of
whom may be moved up when
the season gets going. The 13-
squad scrimmaged at Evadale
Tuesday afternoon.
Reserved seat season tickets
for the Tigers’ five home games
are on sale at the school ad-
ministration office where Asst.
Supt. Bruce Watts said there
are still plenty of choice seats
available. Season tickets sell
for $6.00.
and numbers make the differ-
ence Coach Ray McGallion’s
Tigers will give most of their
oponents a pretty rough time
this season. That’s not a pre-
diction that they will win all
their fames, Just that they’ll
give a good account of them
selves and win more than a
fair share.
In the scrimmage against
Uttle Cypress held here Mon-
day night the Tigers looked
something less than sensation-
al; but a' weak of pfectice Trf
100-degree weather never has
polished off a ball club. That,
coupled with the fact that a
scrimmage doesn’t show a
team’s real potential, may ac-
count for the fact that the Tig-
ers didn’t push Little Cypress
around. Little Cypress has a
fine AA ball club.
Offense of both clubs was a
little rusty—a natural thing af-
ter only a week of work as of-
fensive timing of plays devel-
ops slower than defensive tac-
tics. The Tigers made several
pretty sustained drives only to
bog down before scoring, and
though they seemed to have an
edge on Little Cypress the
Bears made a drive or two also.
Neither club's first offensive
unit was able to score against
the other. Both found the going
tough up the middle though
Tiger backs picked up extra
yardage many times. The tack-
ling was crisp, and both clubs
looked good on defense.
The several hundred Tiger
fans who turned out to watch
the action got their kicks from
the Tiger second offensive unit
with Walker, Crocker, Madi-
son and Dillon in the backfield.
They scored twice, once when
Madison skirted -end -for about
IQ’yards and again on a long
perfectly timed pass from
Walker that Cones was able to
get a couple of fingers on, haul
in and scat for the goal. Little
Qrpress’ second unit scored
once on a long pass-run play.
Nelson Tennison intercepted
one of their passes and scored.
The coaches apparently
found some weak spots as one
Tiger player Tuesday confided,
“We didn’t start really hitting
Uhtil Tuesday morning!”
The Tigers go to Little Cy-
press, near Orange, Friday
night for a return scrimmage.
The season’s opening game will
be at Center on Sept. 7. Bishop
Byrne of Port Arthur will play
in Silsbee Sept. 14, the first
home game for the Tigers.
The 10 lettermen back from
last season are: Paul Johnson,
150, quarterback; Robert (Pun-
ky) Parks, 175, fullback; John-
ny Upshaw, 165, halfback; Den-

Tuesday night, Kenneth K.
Bell who lives on Watts Road,
and Mrs. Edna Ramsey, whose
home is in the Woodlea addi
tion, came before the board to
appeal for an adjustment in
their evaluation, which were
not granted, according to Cesar
Dominguez.
Overall, 150 properties were
rendered for evaluation by the

The remainder were applica

corner to supply the new plant.
An alternative plan was con-
struction of a new pumps sta-
tion and laying of larger pipes
to get the sewage across the
railroad tracks and into the
present trunk lines. Terrell
suggested the possibility that
this alternate would load the
existing treatment plant and
any future growth would make
expansion of it necessary.
The council decided to use
the new treatment plant and
gravity feed lines to it in the
master plan. Federal money is
available to municipal govern-
ments in such a project for up
to 30 percent of the total costs
of the trunk sanitary sewer
lines and the. treatment plant
Ail council members were
present at the planning session.

Building Plan
A long-range master plot
plan for building expansion for
First Presbyterian Church was
unveiled to the congregation of
that church last Sunday. The
plan was drawn by Robert and

and J. W. Savage as members.
The Plan was financed, by a
grant of $500.00 from the
Presbyteiy of Brazos, and has
been in the making for some
time. In presenting the plan to
the congregation, the pastor,
L. M. Correu, expressed grati-
tude for the fine work done by
the committee.
The plan was approved by
the ciders and deacons of the
church last Thursday, at which
time a building committee was
also appointed to look into the
cost of building, in the
ate future, the first unit of
plan. Members of the commit
tee are the same five people
who served on the master plan
committee plus Marshall Ewing
and Pete Landolt. Two associ-
ate members are to be chosen
