Omaha South, enrouraged by snappy practice sessions that point to a happier season than 1125 when but one conquest was turned in. Journey to the stronghold of Lincoln, there to encounter the annual power of the Red and Black. Sure, the Parkers go into this game as underdogs, but there's no telling what Comie Collins' rugged lads might do in the way of an upset.

Our high school coaches. knowing that a gnat deal of work must be done, sent obedient lade through regular pacea In morning drills that Included mushy scrimmage. Over In the Bluffs. Roy Lawson had the Abraham Lincoln lads whacking away at each other for two hours.

Afterwards, Coach Lawson wasn't any more certain about starters than when practice started as he constantly shifted and experimented.

Charley Vecchio is IN pounds In the backfield. though this figure certainly must have gone up Saturday. Billy Pangle makes the scale groan at 110 pounds. Lee Grimes and Dick Gordon, other backfielders on this gang, are far from heavyweights.
