BulldogJProspects
Fail As Practice
Sessions Start
With high school practice
scheduled to get undenvay Mon-
day and the first game less than
a month off Bulldog prospects
for the season are at least fair.
James L. Galbreath new Bull-
dog coach can expect some 28
hopefuls to report for the first
practice ten of whom are re-
turning lettermen. Only one of
the ten however can boast mora
than one letter. That is Earl
Howell 135 pound half back
who has earned three football
letters and will be playing his
last season this fall. Six of the
other lettermen are seniors and
three are juniors.
Senior lettermen returning arq
Robert Gersbach Larry Howell
Carl Hunt Doyle Lindemann
Charles Townsend Billy Voight
and Earl Howell. Junior letter-
men are Floyd Lange Melvin
Steger and Garland Townsend.
A look at the roster and a
memory of the lettermen lost
through the graduation route
indicates that the team might
be strong at halfbacks quarter-
back and guards and weak at
fullback tnckes and ends. Re-
placement of James "Bubba"
Jllll at fullback may be the ma-
jor problura of Coach Galbreath.

First Cotton
Bale Premium
Total $125.30

of cotton ginned in Bartlett this
season Felix Blaschke of the

$125.30 mostly in cash on Fri-

Rain Damages
Roads But Helps
Crops
At Jarrell
Commissioner Frank Marti-
nets and his maintenance crew
have been busy west of Jarrell
this week where heavy rains of
last week did considerable dam-
age to roads and bridges. On
last Thursday the area received
5V-2 inches of rain and on Fri-
day another 3Y inches fell.
There is a bright side to the
picture however the rains
coupled with others this sum-
mer did a lot of good to late
planted crops in the area which
suffered from hail so late that;
replanting was necessary.
While corn is being harvested'
in this area corn in the hailed
out1 area reports the commis-
sioner is still green and tassel-
ing and beaijs every indication
of making a good yield. Cotton
which may still suffer from in-
sects which have been prolific
this year is looking good at the
moment and some 'estimates
are that it will make bale to
the acre.
