Here on McQueen Field this evening the BTW Wildcats will open
the negro 2-AAA district race as they take on the double tough Kemp High Bears
from Bryan in an 8 o'clock game. The Wildcats are unbeaten so far.
A game that will draw a large number of Marlin football fans is the freshman
clash at Baylor Stadium, Waco, this evening at 7:30 o'clock. This game
will pit two of last year's Marlin Bulldog backfield stars against each other.
Joe Jones now with the Baylor Cubs and who starred against the Texas Shorthorns
last week, will be a Cub starter this evening at halfback.
Thomas Byer a fullback with the Aggie Fish team, while not listed on the first
two Aggie Fish units, will likely see action against the Cubs. The Aggie
Fish have five units. Byer has carried the ball four times for the Aggie
Fish, gained 14 yards, for an average of 3.5 yards per carry.

Friday night the
terrible West Trojans, unbeaten nad untied for the season will come to town for
an 8 o'clock game in which they will try to ruin the Marlin Bulldogs' homecoming
and in so doing win their third consecutive District 17-AA
game.
The Bulldogs have been working all week to find a way to trip the Trojans.
According to reports the Bulldogs had a good workout Monday, didn't look so good
Tuesday but were back on the ball Wednesday. The Bulldogs will have the
usual lighter review drill today and then await the Friday homecoming bout in
which they'll try for conference win number two.
Fullback Steve Palacios and tackle Joe Hardeman were the only doubtful starters
at last report.
~~~~~
Coach Jim
Holland and his Bulldog B team also have a date today at West. They will
meet the West B team as soon as the junior high game is over, which should be
about 7:30 p.m.
Two of the Canine B's are on the doubtful list of starters and might not get to
play at all. Quarterback Jimmy Rogers who got a deep C shaped cot on the
palm of his throwing hand in last week's game, won't be able to pass accurately
if he plays.
Robert Nutt, a tackle that usually gets in considerable playing time, has an
injured ankle.
Ricky Calhoun, a regulr end who has alternated at the Q.B. post, will be the man
under if Rogers is out.
