lnally scheduled Tor Cambridge,
the game was transferred here
when the Bobcats schedule list
ed a home game for that date.
Possibility of playing the game
away on Saturday night was dis
cuSSed but it was finally agreed
to transfer it here on Friday
night. However, Prin. Weekley
points out that it is still Byes-
ville's game, so consequently
local fans holding season tickets
for Caldwells regular home
games will not be entitled to
their reserved seats this night
It'll be first come, first seated.
FANS ARE ALSO notified that
reserved seat tickets for the
Olympia at GAINESVILLE this Fri
day night were returned on We'd
nesday. General admission tick
cts only will be available at the
stadium on game night. Students
are urged to get their tickets
here for so cents or pay IS cents
at the gate.
A QUICK GLANCE around the
Muskingum Valley League seems
to indicate that someone is go
ing to steal the championship
this year-a season when the
best of the worst will no doubt
end up on top. No team ap-
pears to be loaded, everyone
seeming to be about evenly
matched in lettermen and play
ers lost by graduation. However,
a safe bet would be to string
along with the larger schools
where sheer weight of numbers
always win a few games. Look
for Philo, New Concord, Dresden
and Roseville to make up the
first division but not necessarily
in that order.
R0SEVILLE Coached by
John Red" Smith, won nine
games without a loss last year,
including seven MVL triumphs
to sweep the title. Thirty five
out for practice with IL letter
men who should carry the
Ramblers along to another sue
cessful season despite losing the
touchdown twins, Sagle and
Sewers by graduation. Lost only
nine from last years squad in
cluding five first stringers. Back
in action will be Jerry Rider,
Jerald Bruce, Marvin Houk, Mel
son Melick, Dayle Browning,
Bill Rider and Clyde Parks. The
Ramblers should be a definite
threat to repeat for the title.
NEW CONCORD - Coached by
Don Stockum, won six out OF
nine games last year, finishing
second in the MVL with a 6-l
record, losing only to Roseville
26-14. Only seven returning let
termen on the squad, but these
veterans are filling some mighty
important spots. The Muskies
lost 10 by graduation, including
seven from their offensive pla-
toon, but five of their seven
backfield men are in uniform
again this year. Among those ex-
pected to carry the team thru q
successful season are Bob Atkin-
son, Jim Ballantine, Jack Brad
ley, Dick Park, Harold Stack
house, Bob Lake, Bill Little
Larry Miller and John Holmes
If any team can be expected to
give Roseville a run for the
crown, New Concord is thai
team.
PHILO - Coached by Sam Hat
field, won seven and lost two
last season, including five out ol
seven in league competition. The
Electrics were hard hit by grad
uation losing their entire frs
team with the exception of righ
end Torbert and left half Lee
Kreis. Coach Hatfield had some
fine reserve strength last year
however, and with Philo never
wanting in material, we'll bet OF
"Sad Sam" to build up team
that should stay in the top hal
of the league standing.
DRESDEN - Coached by Johr
Hadden, didn't enter MVL foot
ball play until this season. Las
year the Jay-Hawks won fivt
out of eight games, defeating
New Concord and McConnels
vile, but losing to Philo. Onl,
il out of 43 players were lost b,
graduation including Ted Bor
der, Wilmer Shroyer, Rod Cox
Jim Blatt, Don Jamison, Ed Ar
cher and Fred Seibert If Dres
den makes as big a splash il
football as they did in basket
ball last year, the Jay-Hawk
will be hard to keep out of thirt
or fourth spot.
CALDWELL - Coached by
newcomer to the league, Leo I
Strang, won six out of min
games last year, including fou
out of seven league tilts. TIL
Redskins have IL lettermen oui
but lost a like number by grad
uation, among them seven frs
stringers. Coach Strang's bi
