GAME OPENS HOMECOMING
The annual homecoming weekend of October 23d and 24th begins this Saturday with a big game against Christ- church. This game has particu- lar meaning to the players on the team from last year. Last year we played Christchurch at their homecoming and lost a very tight and painful game 7-0. This year although losses by graduation has cut down on ex- perience, Christchurch brings a very formidable team to play us.
On our side of the game there appears to be no serious injuries to keep anyone from playing. AI Williams was lost for the season in the Fishburne game and had left a gaping hole at left end until Bill Fray proved in the Blue Ridge game that he could take up any slack. Carlyle White was injured on the first play of the game against Blue Ridge but Carlyle indicates that he will be ready to go even as early as the Norfolk game. With all our dates and parents watching us play, this game, above all, will
probably be the most interesting to watch from the spectators'
point of view.
The probable starting lineup is as follows: White and Fray at the ends, Mundy and Powers at the tackles, Branch and Sud- duth at the guards, with Grover at the center post. The back- field has Woodall at the quarter- hack, Edwards and Morrison at the halfbacks, and Wern at th!' fullback.
