According to Coaches Grad Graves, Bob Brown and Frank Airington, it is to teach the thirty-nine young men on their squad to devel- op the game skills and the necessary leadership qualifications to earn a position on the varsity squad. With a winning season this year, Coach Graves feels that they have at least fifteen of the juniors and six of the sophomores who are sufficiently motivated to move into varsity spots left vacant by graduating seniors.

Coaches Travel Two Hundred Miles In Scouting Program may v :'. R..W-f Scouting is an important part of the football program with the ju- nior and freshman coaches. They average approximately two hun- dred miles per week in the scout- ing program and that tallies to two thousand miles on the road in a ten-week period. According to Coach Paul Lance, it gets to be a boring trip once the scouting assignment is over. The all joke and kid a lot to keep the driver awake. Too, there is the frustra- tion of finding out the score of the varsity game. We cannot get the score on the radio, so some- times we stop at Bowie to call the newspaper. With the enthusiasm ex ressed by these coaches and lboking forward to competition in 4-AAA next year, we anticipate that things will begin to look up for the Huskiesl That last play brought mixed emotions to members of the junior varsity squad. The Burk game scores were 18-20 and 12-10 with each team sharing victor's honors. A Husky running back was caught trying to hide in the grass for a loss of five! The Stamford game brought a victory of 35-6l Co-Captains Von McMiIler and Rodney VanBurger walk with the referee to start another gamel U ,iff Qasnevwmwjv- v'N4 Football 23
