For the Ironmen, its the opener of a 10-game schedule, six of which are to be played on home soil. A large crowd is ex pected to be on hand for Friday’s tilt.

The G’l" 170 pound lad will likely do mst of the passing. Tail hack Itonald Turner and Fullback 1’aul Taylor, a pair of 190 poun ders, are the men the Hollies must -top. Turnor. also a terrif ic defensive men, and (linn are the co-captains. Red Morrison will probably open fit the wingback slot. STACK, KILLIAN Spearheading the Hawk defense will be 21o pound tackle Have Stack. One of the county’s top lineman last season, Stack is a 00 minute man. Don Killian, race horse 160 pound tailback, tops the Mt. Holly attack with aid from Quarterback Tommy Wilson and halfback Tommy Crawford.
