Scheduled For Friday Afternoon

open here Friday afternoon when the
Ranson-raen play the Wofford Frosh
on the high school field.
With an untried aggregation, Coach
Hanson said Wednesday that he did
not make any predictions as to out
come of the game, but that even though
he had some rather inexperienced men
in his string, and some of them aro
more or less in the featherweight divi
sion. he would promise to "play four
quarters.”
Four of last year’s men, two of them
regulars, will be in the starting line-up,
backed by two others who played some
last year, and seven new-comers.
Clayton, last year’s quarter, will be at
his post, and Ferguson, left guard.
Odom, looked on last year as an excel
lent guard, will be in the same position.
Edwards, at left end, saw action in all
games last year, and is counted on this
year to assist in passing attacks.
Probable starting line-up will Include
Edwards, LE; Boyd, LT; Ferguson,
LG; Hicks, center; Odom, RG; Ed
mondson, UT; McMinn, RE; Clayton,
QB; Taggart, LH; Love, RH; Hen
dricks, FB.

action in the Friday game are Lee
Maize, Andrews, Belk, Moore, Wilson, I
Tothrow and Patton, line; McLeod,
Houts, and DeShaw, hacks. Heatherly
will be out of the lineup from injuries.
Taggart, 128-pounder, is looked upon
as a triple threat who will see plenty
of action in the game. The lightweight- I
er is fast, carries the ball well, boots !
pretty good, and passes accurately.
