ihals

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

But we don't believe Texarkana
will go any further than the finals,

When questioned this summer
as to the coning 1940 season,

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."
