The Lawrence Lions pre-season warm-up is the traditional night intra-squad scrimmage. Here some Lion grid-men get used to having their faces in the sod; actually, it was the opponents' faces that spent a great deal of the time next to the ground as the season progressed. A Shawnee Mission East defender made a desperate lunge at Lawrence quarter- back Bill Trull--but his efforts were to no avail as the Lions won their home- coming game, 26 to 6. Lion Rick Antisdel (25) slams through the Washington line as halfback Richard Bryan (22) and fullback Preston Fambrough (42) look on. Number 61 is David McReynolds. 20
