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!

- will '-in-. Fundamental Football Is Taught On Freshman Level It is a learning process from the begin- ning, states Coach Lance, because from the first two-a-day drill in August, the teaching is not only fundamental foot- ball, but it is getting ready for the first game which is just three weeks awayl There is little evidence of leadership un- til the middle of the season when exper- ience and maturity begin to show in the different players. A remarkable record of only four drop-outs for the season indicates that the future looks excellent. As in the case of the junior varsity pro- gram, the primary purpose is to make varsity players out of these students who truly want to play football. Everyone stops and looks as the Huskies take the batt efieldl Huskies take the offensive as opponents realize they mean business! There's no stopping 'em once they're rolling! Huskies upset and up-end opponent's drive. l 'sy C,-1. in Football 25
