FOOTBALL TEAM HAS 4-6 RECORD The 1959 edition of lVlcCallie's Blue Tornado roared back at the close of the season to eradi- cate the gloom of a heartbreaking 4-6 record. Faced with a lack of depth in the line, the Blues won two out of their first three contests, lost the next five, and finished the season with fine victories over Darlington and T.M.l. Nine returning lettermen, headed by co-cap- tains Rawley Speir and Dick DeArmond re- ported to coaches Harry Milligan, Dave Spencer, John Day, and Crawford Street on August 31. During the season, the Blues never scored more than two touchdowns, but did that four times, the Tornado also won the two games in which it scored the least first downs, making two against C.M.A. and being held to none against Darlington. Speir was named all-city and all-Mid-South tackle at the season's close, and fullback Butch Martin also placed on the all-conference squad. Guard DeArmond was a second team selection on numerous polls. Head cheerleader Dan Paty, along with Milton Turner, John McCall, Claude LaVarre, Chappy Chapman and Bill Shultz stir up action at the TMI football game on Alumni Field.
