Taking a leading part in this great movie will ^je Gig Young. Gig is Byron Barr, son of J. R. Barr. long a resident of Waynes ville. This prominent young actor has taken leading parts in many mov ies, but in "Arena" he has found an opportunity to display his tal ents to the fullest. The 25 members of the Clyde Cardinal squad had light contact workouts this week, as a follow up on their conditioning period under Coach Don McLeod. With their first game set for the 18lh with Candler, the Cardinals have more time to practice and get into the hard scrimmage ses sions than other Haywood teams who begin their season earlier. Coach McLeod is building his team around 8 lettermen from last year, and while he will have a light team, feels that they will have speed, and some deceptive plays that will more than off-set What they do not have in weight. This is Coach McLeod's first year as coach at Clyde and he is not making any comparative notes on I he players or opponent s. "We are not deeo in reserves, but hope to present a creditable team when the time comes. The boys are working hard, and taking the practice sessions seriously, which is an encouraging factor," he said. Coach McLeod Is like other Hay wood coaches, he has not pushed his squad too hard this week due fu the unseasonal warm weather. He is stressing fundamentals, and feels that he has time before the 18th to call for "full steam ahead" on the rougher scrimmage work outs. All ?

Poindexter plans to start 10 lettermen against the Bearcats. Not only is the Bethel team almost an entire carryover of the 1952 edition, but the men are heavier, and more experienced.
