Panihers Prep For WaYnesboro;
Tigers Face Tough Upstate Team
TIGERS Dubbed
"Durk Horse"
Of Big Eight

Information from upstate this
week had it that the Moss Point
Tigers may tangle with the top
team in the Big Eight when they
travel to Vicksburg next Friday
night, and Coaches Tom Swayze
and Red Bullock expect one of
the toughest fights of the season
that night.
Whether or not the Tigers will
pull through in good form or
have their 19-game record of
wins smashed in the seasons
opener seems anybody's guess.
In their first season in the Big
Eight, Coach Swayze's charges
face as rough a schedule as a
coach's nightmare, beginning
with the Vicksburg rev as an
opener. Jackson scribes are dub
bling the Tigers the dark horse in
Big Eight competition, which is
actually big Sixteen with the
addition of Moss Point and Pas
cagoula this year,
If they upset the Vicksburg
team on the seasons opening
date, they still have to meet their
arch rival the Biloxi Indians, who
tied with them last year to spot
IN otherwise perfect record. After
that, the worst comes on October
rs when they meet an aggregation
of McComb bruisers on their
home field.
Coaches Swayze and Bullock
are working hard on their boys
but deplore the loss of Dick Dick
son in the line and Jack Fields,
the %plunging back of last season,
both are hard to replace. Dick
son was awarded the most val.
liable player. distinction and
Fields was the terror of other
teams with a drive reminiscent
of AllrAmerican Doc Blanchard
of last season in his high school
days at st. Stanislaus.
But the boys are in there pitch
ing and the game with Vicksburg
next Friday night will draw state
wide attention.

Panthers Open
Season Here On
Friday. Sept. 20
BY ALBIN KREBs

Next Friday night at eight the
Pascagoula Panthers will engage
in their first grid game of the
season, and proof that they will
meet the Waynesboro team in
the best possible condition can
be obtained by merely glancing
at the scenes now being enact
ed at the athletic field.
From the looks of things, p.
H. S. will not come out of its
scrap on the bottom in its first
pigskin encounter. The boys are
earnestly working toward having
a fine team. To prove that things
are getting settled. Coach Dobie
Holden this week revealed the
probable starting lineup for
next Fridays game.
Probable Lineup
The twelve lettermen who
made honors last wear and are
to head this seasons lineup will
be fighting for top Big Eight
recognition for the first time in
the history of Pascagoula High
School. their work will be sup
plemented by a group of hard
working. enthusiastic fellow
players who are either newcom-
ers or who have failed to letter
before.
In the backfield will be lightn-
ing-swift Dellyc Shivers. quar-
terback turned fullbaek. Shivers,
in last seasons opening game,
brought down the bleachers by
running sixty five yards for a
winning touchdown. In his new
position the boy looks capable,
all six feet of him. George Walk
er will mimick Shivers job.
George is a promising newcom-
er who will substitute for Shiv-
ers and Levon Ezell. who will
probably be unable to play at
all in the first game. Ezell. who
looked good last season. recently
suffered an arm injury.
James Allen, former Merchant
Mariner, a converted center. who
could be described as big"
will DE on hand to serve as
another fullback.
Also in the backfield is Kirby
King, number one bet for left
half. Understudies who will
most probably see action in this
spot are Leonard Trehern and
Warren McCleskev.
Right halfback Everette Stone.
a letterman who last year gain
ed a reputation for his determin-
alton to get through the line
at all costs, will this year be
the primary man in his position.
Paul Ryan and Buddy Ehrlich,
juniors both, will understudy.
Byrd At Quarter
Number one handler will be
Rocky Byrd, whose game will
! probably be even better this year
than it was last year.
On the line will be Bobby Pitt
man, a fine pass receiver. and
first choice for left end. who
will be sharing his duties with
James Knight, a fellow who will
probably prove to be adequate
in his game. Right ends will be
Alton Baxter. Jerry Purdv. and
J. S. Hare, who will alternate
with one another for playing
time. The end positions are fill
ed by four of last years letter

acquaintances and close friends
characterize this statement as
apt because, in addition to con-

office, he had found time to de-
vote himself ardously to bust

ties. He was, for the years, vice
