THE EAGLETS Spring Football Abilene High School has made its usual early start on football Held, the reason for this being that spring football usually develops good football men and unearths many potential stars. The first six weeks of spring football is to be devoted to the Juniors and Seniors and the second six weeks to Sophomores and Freshmen. ln this manner the squads are easier to handle and better training is given to each boy. Practice in punting, passing, defensive and offensive work, and drop-kicking is given. ln addition to several of last yearls letter men, there are several letter men from other schools out for spring training. The factors that go to make a championship team are: a coach like D. A. May- hewg a school like Abilene High Schoolg hard training every day. as the boys out Heretofore football Eagles Anson and the for spring football are doing. there has only been one game played by the spring , but this year the Eaglets will play two, one with other with McMurry's second team. The Eaglets stand a good chance of defeating these two teams if too many Red Cranges do not develop in the Anson and lVIcMurry teams. Here's luck to D. A. Mayhew and his spring gridders.
