Central Catholic Bulldogs 4 ligers Regain Force TII up A &M Consolidated's Tigers expect more gridders on the field and less on the sick list Friday when they host the St. Anthony Bulldogs of Beaumont in their home game. Edsel Jones carried a light 16- man party to Navasota last Fri- day when the Rattlers hung up a 16 -5 victory. The remainder of the Tiger squad, counting grid - ders sidelined with injuries, were dropped from its traveling roster for disciplinary reasons. JONES' SICK list is slowly getting weaker with the return at of Ozzie Burke to his right half slot this week. Still missing . �� from the first unit backfield is Jim McAfee, junior fullback. He • � \ and Charles Roeber, center, are iir expected back in the lineup next • week after a two -weeks absence with separated shoulders. Irvin Todd,split end, came back from a minor back injury last Friday to give a top grade performance, according to game film studies. Freshmen Hubert Hearne and senior high Par- ILE sons were also rated high. IM JONES EXPRESSED some satisfaction with the Tiger of- fense, but pointed out Consoli- dated', inability to control the DDS ball long enough for paydirt . strikes. The College Station eleven will be starting with three of four returning lettermen in an effort to reverse a slight 16 -14 loss at Purple Stadium in Beau- mont last year. ers Host C entra C atholic Here Tonight A &M Consolidated's Tigers seeking to get into the win col - that is rated third in the three - get their first home opponent umn after a 15 -6 loss at the team District One of the Texas tonight in Central Catholic of hands of Navasota last Friday.

The big gun for Central is its 190 pound fullback, James Doyle. Freshman Pete Maids, 140, will run the backfield with John Coutee, 135, and Kerwin Danna, 129, at left and right halfback. THE BEAUMONT team's line is built around A11- District tackle John Chirafis, 180. He starts on the left side with Mike Hebert, 150, his running mate. At ends will be Charles Morano, 150, and Dan Patrizi, 170; guards, Mike Phelan, 158, and Bill Crowley, 155, and center, Pat Marlin, 150, a converted quarterback. Ozzie Burke, 157, right half, returns to the Tiger lineup this week, but the Tigers lose Jimbo Carroll, 150, his running mate from tonight's starting eleven. Hubert Hearne, who ran for Burke against the Rattlers, switches over while Russell Welch and soph Jay Pewthers will run last week's assignments. Carroll is out with a minor an- kle injury. THE ONLY change in the line finds freshman Fred Worley starting in place of soph Bill White at center. Larry Randolph and Irvin Todd were named for ends, Robert Chenault and J. W. Parsons, tackles and Sidney Coufal and David Parsons, guards. Jones expects the backfield changes to provide more power, as well as adding weight. Tom- my Taylor and Danny Feldman are slated for defensive duty. They will replace Worley and Welch.
