tro last week, however, as Coving-
ton has now had two weeks to
work out a new backfield combina-
ton of Rivera, White, Tajii and
Webster
For Brawley the backfield will
be John Williams, Martin Navarro,
Joe Rodriguez and Barnett or Min
ter. Burnett and Williams were the
stars of the Brawley attack in the
Imperial victory and will probably
carry the burden in Friday nights
encounter.
The Calexico- Brawley game will
serve to test the offense of the
Brawley Wildcats as the Bulldogs
have the stiffest defense in the
league. Brawley is expected to
spring a passing attack as result
of the success of the Ell Centro
aerial thrusts last week.
