Although camp was broken up
Wednesday of the second week be
cause of sickness, a hectic sche
dule was followed until then.
Everyone was on the field at 6:30
for about two hours of practice.
After eating breakfast in the
school cafeteria, the boys were
free until 1:00, when they had to
return to the school for a rest pe
riod. Practice was tb.en held from
3:00 until 5:15. “Lights oiit” was
at 9:00.
Camp was broken up because of
sickness, but practice was held
twice a day anyway. About one-
third of the team became sick
with the virus. Dr. Gaskin and
Coach Gantt agreed that it would
be safer if all players slept at
home.
After these two weeks of hard
work, the team and coaches look
forward to a successful season.
