The jamboree will hardly be recognized by those who sat in on the inaugural affair in 1949. It was the first time such a pre-season contest had been staged in Louisiana and had a five-game lineup of ten Southwest Louisiana grid teams. The jamboree was the brain- alway seeme to have just child of Grant McCracken, a transplanted Midwesterner enough to inch over the who had seen similar affairs before coming to Lake Crnres. For several years the local affair stood alone, administered by a volunteer committee and with proceeds going to Boys Village. As time went by, however, some of the original teams dropped out to start their own jamborees and differences began to crop up among those who remained.

Guillory and Gaskin played a "game of inches" in theat Gaskin just seemed to miss his shots and Guillory's volleys of Guillory's points came at the net. The No. 1 seed of the men's division Carlos Perez advanced with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Arthur Adams. Adams played a good game and had a sizzling backhand but the overall court further.

The idea has spread across the state since its success here and there will be jamborees by the dozen. Nearly every large city in. the state has at least one and numerous smaller communities stage their own affairs.

It might be a nice gesture on the part of the local sponsors to look up McCracken and the other original sponsors of the jamboree. They appear to have been overlooked in the rush of success and a group which brought about such an indelible change in Louisiana football should be accorded recognition. COACHING CHANGES ARE STILL making news as the 1961 campaign roars toward the starting line on both the prep and collegiate fronts.
