Bartlett To Host
Salado Eagles
Friday Night
Salado journies to Bartlett
Friday night still looking for
a district win after having been
successful in non-conference
competition.
Bartlett is 1-1 in district
play and 4-2 for the season. The
game should be a close one and
may depend on how the teams
re-bound from lashings by Aca-
demy and Chilton last week.
Coach James Adair has eight
lettermen returning from last
year's team including a letter-
man backf leld.
In the secondary the Eagles
have Wayne Lamberth at quar
terback Larry Guess and Stan-
ley Mersiovsky at halfbacks
and Jerry Sanders at fullback.
Lamberth Guess and Mersi
ovsky were starters last season
while Sanders lettered in the
line. The group can be explosive.
Mersiovsky a 175 pound junior
is a breakaway threat and the
1885 pound Sanders has plenty
of power.
Several changes have been
made up front but all-district
Roy Adams returns at tackle.
Bobby Dunlap is another re
turning tackle.
Sophomore Curtis Doss and
iunior Joe Stanford are at ends.
Noland Kinsey and Wayne Old
ham are at the guards after
playing end and center respect
ively last season. Either George
Huey or Stanley Oldham will be
at center.
After beating Liberty Hill in
the opener the Eagles lost to
iB!ru)2evflte-Eddy 20-12 beat
Bertram 22-6 and beat Hutto
'20-8. In district Salado lost a
16-8 decision to Lott on the last
play of the game and lost to
Academy 32-14 last week.
