Some o( thpnj came^ out and admitedithey figured tly>y would win a gaihe or two. VCatty Myera, the Texargana Coj eta, however, spent most of, his time trying lo get the sports wji ers not to believe what they hearing about i his team. He $a|id he ought to be co-favorite With Marshall for the district title, not the] no. 1 team. And this business ihals to death. We never before saw Watty 'so cautious! My Cm has 'done a great job at Texarkgna. WJum he went there | they! hadn’t w(j>n a district ganie— or most any j kind of game - in years. Now Texarkana is one of the top-rated outfits of the state. Watty has a! Couple of fine backs this season—Norton and Wall — [ and we tvoUldn’t be surprised to see Texarkan batlling for the iitlii come December!. But we don't believe Texarkana will go any further than the finals, Jufet examine that statement, howtl ever. You know, there is nothing higher than • the finals.

Rote’s poise, experience, and deceptive ball handling plus his defensive abil ity make him hard to beat as a starter. Glass and CftrsWettl Were both Ad-Staters in High fJchool football. j IT 1 II:’I At left half, Neely expects to get lots,of speed froth Vah Ballard and Sonny Wyatt. Ballard, !a sen ior, has been unfortunate with inj uries during his entire .play at Bice. However, he looked gjood in spring training and will be counted on heavily this fall, WybtJt is a starter irom last year, j j' s Other left halfback prospects are Teddy Riggs, a jsdphomore specialist, scored speedster, and Rex Proctoir, a Ifast' and shifty junior. i I j. At right half John Kelly and Harold Riley, ■ both seniors, will fight it ouf for the starting berth. Both are fast, powerful, and good broken-field runners.

These’twb men are largely re sponsible for Rice’s top < defensive record last fall. They are big, fast, rangy, and good on 1 doping out plays and will give arty opponent a rough time. tVeutiieriy was also selected ferencc games fftst year. Besides this.hc backs up Watson, Roberts and Ballard on kickoffs. He i>| an excellent defensive end and a fine pass" receiver for tho Owls, j Other ends on the scftiad art Frank Allen, A. L. Houghton. M. L. MeCurry, Bill Howton, and Ted Watson. When questioned this summer as to the coning 1940 season, Coach Neely said, “We expect our passing, to be better, our running good, and our punting average. We expect the team to he a good defensive one as most of the boys are experienced. It, is the first senior team the Coaching staff has had an opportunity to handle four consecutive years, and we asp hop ing for a most successful season."
