The Big Red, even without its Guard members, romped all over Decaturville here Thursday night in a practice game. Coaches Hill and Gideon said they were far from pleased with the workout as mistakes stood out like sore thumbs. Several were awarded letters but few have ever started a game. The Tigers shape up fairly heavy as the starting line will average anywhere from 155-163. The probable starting backs will tip 153.
Tigers now have fine dressing quarters in the new gym.
Assistant football coach and head basketball mentor will be Gill Gideon Jr., Union University halfback. Mr. Hill was a member of Tennessee s last bowl team, and comes highly recommended by General Neyland. As late as the 1959-60 school year, he taught all P.E. classes and was the boys and girls basketball coach, head football coach and assisted Principal W.L. Bobbitt with discipline.
