Bulldogs To Meet
Dragons Friday
The Bartlett Bulldogs will in-
itiate the 1953 home grid sea-
son here Friday night when
they open against the tough
class A Round Rock Dragons.
The Dragons had the rugged
Georgetown Eagles squeeze out
a hard fought 19-13 victory ov-
er them in Round Rock on Fri-
day while Bartlett was plaster-
ing Granger in the last half
with an 18-7 win.
Two years ago when these
teams met the Dragons eked
out a 7-6 win that Bartlett will
want to gain revenge for.
In all probability the Bull-
dogs should win this one by a
touchdown if they display the
same fiie which they used in
the final period against Gran-
ger. The Bulldogs can't let up if
they expect to win this one and
football fans will be in for an
exciting time.

The indomitable Bartlett
Bulldogs turned on the power
when it was needed in the final
period Friday to down the pow-
erful class A Granger Lions in
a repetition of last year's two
touchdown defeat as the Bull-
dogs came from behind to grind
out an 18-7 victory.
Bartlett started the game as

things off in the first stanza
and then came back with two

pound junior two year letter-
man clipped the grass with his
crisp blocking and dug through
the Granger line almost at will.

Cotton Ginned
In Bartlett
Reports from local gins show
that there had been approxi-
mately 2900 bales of cotton gin-
nod in Bartlett from the current
crop by noon Wednesday. Gins
have been running almost con-
stantly all week with stops only
for repairs.
Cotton generally is good and
is coming in faster this year
than usual as compared with
1792 bales at this time in 1952.
There is some second growth
in the cotton crop of this com-
munity but ginners report that
it will be offset by the boll weev-
il scourge which is plaguing
farmers of this area.
