The Tigers of Douglass
are anxious to prove that
they are not clawless on the
gridiron this season. The
lads of the Green and White
are not trying to rationalize
their losses - no, not a
single member of the team
has assumed this attitude.
There's a good reason for the So
Der outlook by the Tigers for past
defeats. They are looking forward
to Homecoming on Saturday Nov

Green and White will play host
to Blanche Ely High of Pompano.

Ely of Pompano and Douglass
have had common foes this season
and the scores of both these games
do not reveal any true pre-game
picture. Two teams that Ely and
Douglass have encountered are Ft.
Pierce and Stuart. Both of these
were soundly trounced by Ely Of
Pompano, while Douglass racked
up a good score on Stuart. They
went down to defeat at the hands
of Ft. Pierce.
The boys in Green and White
figure this to be an opportunity of
life time as they have all 10
gain and nothing to lose in sully-
ing the record of Pompano.

ers in Green and White can pull
their ranks together there yet may
be cause for rejoicing.
