The Dragon backs toss the ball with real accuracy and the receivers know how to hold on to it. That was demonstrated as the local high school beat Dade City by three touchdowns at Phillips Field last night.

Despite a wet ball, the passes clicked.

But Jefferson is happy because it opened the season with a victory, whereas last year it lost its opener to the same team by a 7-6 score. Perhaps the victory is a good siffn for Tampa foot- ball in general. Broughton Williams, Billy Martin and John Smit are the' best pass receivers.

This much is certain. Plant will employ a more wide open style of play, reverses, spinners, laterals and tricky formations will form Plant's bag of tricks.

Players Fast. Speed is the essential character Klutka has been playing at left .1 11 Plant's Panthers didn't lick Bradenton until the last 40 seconds of their game in Bradenton last year. A number of the same boys who played for Bradenton that game are back for service more, says Jimmy Hughes, than returned for service at Plant. That makes Hughes considerably worried about tonight's scrap at Plant Field. He feels that his boys aren't quite ready for such a tough opener.

Jimmy still is worried about his line. "If it'll just block some, I think the backs can go all right." The Plant forward wall is almost entirely new. Tonight's test will determine which of the Panthers really deserve to be called first stringers. But the general speed and timing of the Panther attack looks to us as good enough to turn back the Golden Wave once again, even if it's by a hair's breadth.

A husky tackle, weighing 178 pounds, was Plant's quarter-miler on the track team last season. Two sets of backs are speed merchants. Led by Ned Baldwin the Panthers can offer Donnie Hansen, Billy Wynne and Buddy Zendegui, all of whom are capable of reeling off a hundred yards in close to ten seconds flat. In the probable starting lineup, only four gridders saw considerable action against Bradenton last year. They are Captain John Smit, Hansen, Baldwin and Clyde Evans.

The move gives the regular line more balance than it had before, and cuts down the pressing need for reserves, since both of the new first stringers come closer to being "60-minute ball players" than the men they replaced.
