Just Talking
About Sports
By BRYAN ADAM8
With the opening of the 1954
season only four days away, I hur-
ry witli the dope bucket so that wc
may be in full possession of all of
the facts prior to making our com-
mitments for the season.
And just in case any of you
might be mislead by the dope
gathered front the scribe's at the
meeting at coaching school, it
would be almost Impossible for
both Ennis and Mcxia to win
the state title this year. Me-
thinks I read the fine Italian
hand of friend Carder of The
Light in this publicity.
to match these two teams. Situated
in towns w'lthin easy reach and rep-
resenting schools of about equal
size, these two teams will prove na-
tural rivals. For the Ennis Lions
the game with be a thorough test
as green squadsmen attempt to
prove the.lr worth against a big and
experienced Terrell line. Five re-
turning linemen from the team that
carried the Tiger Maroon to the, di-
distr ct play in the AA champion-
ship last ye.ar will give the Terrell
eleven the advantage in the for-
ward wall.
Against the experience of the Ti-
ger front line. Coach Ryan will pit
a heavy although Inexperienced
line. Anchoring the line will be two
very fine tackles in Sm‘th and Arm-
strong. Both of these, boys are re-
turning lettennen and on their de-
sire to hold steady the newcom-
ers to their ranks will depend the
success of the Lion running game,
this year. The middle of the line
remains a question mark as the
Lion coaches are giving u close look’
to all of their squadsmen.
Taller ends will give the Lion pas-
sers better targets this year for
their overhead shots. Although in-
experienced, the Lion wingmen are
demonstrating rapid, advancement.
All of the backfield spots are st'll
wide open as four talbacks contest
for a chance in the game. Choice
of the starting quartet to carry the
mail for the Lions will probably re-
main in doubt until after the last
practice session. ,
Season ticket sales are underway
and are reported to be brisk as the
Lion fans are assuring themselves
of choice seats by their early se-
lect on. A near capacity crowd is
expected as the Terrell fans will fol-
low their team m large numbers.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Dr. E. A. Reel, Chiropractor

102 E. Milam
At the present writing, the L'ons
are a long way from championship
caliber. Don t misquote me. 1 said at
the present writing. Waxahachie
and Mcxia, both with returning
teams should rank in the pre-
season dope ahead of the Lions.
Hillsboro should finally find them-
selves. Teague is am unknown quan-
t‘ty. Any team that gets out'of this
district's play alive will be lucky.
No. the Lians don’t rate the
choice right now. 1 don't know
if they will rate i t all this
season. This much I have al-
ready seen, we have a bunch of
boys that may be green hut they
see the green light when the
whistle blows. 1 have seen more
hustle and real honest hard
work put out Ibis season already
than any two months produced
last year.
The Lions will have a bunch of
beys that w 11 for a time, be prone
to make mistakes. I don't think that
tliev will be the kind of ball club
that, continue t o make the same
mistakes, I really boljevc that this
year we- have .a bunch of boys that
want to 004
As the season opens, however,
would have to rank the Lions
in I bird place in Ihr pre-season
guessing. Mcxia brings to the
distrht race four backs who
. won the district sprint relay
title in traek. Almost every
starter returns to the Cats line
up according to the information
furnished me. Waxahachie be-
lives that this year is their year.
They are leaving no stones un-
turned to see that it conics up
that way.
No. I would have to rank the 19-
A teams, based on players returned
from last year. Waxahachie, Mcxia,
Ennis H llsboro and Teague. Comes
Friday night and the opening of the
season, maybe we can make some
‘changes.
Coach Dave Ryan Is

ing of the Ennis Lions Club after
