Jacksonville Inexperience
and a meager turnout has been
a handicap in preparations of
the Jacksonville high Redskins
for their 1955 gridiron season.
The Redskins open Thursday
night at Phoenix. They were to
have met the Crater junior var
sity last Saturday but a power
outage at Central Point forced
postponement of the scrape.
Daily turnouts here have been
running 15 to 18 and Coach
Fred Richardson has just five
lettermen, only four of whom
so far have been out for frills.
Regular jobs and fire fighting
have kept gridders away from
practices. Jacksonville doesn't
figure to have too many hands
on deck to go against Phoenix.
Positions in Doubt
Most positions for the Thurs
day fracas were still in doubt
today. Only three backfield slots
were fairly set. The backs are
Bob Guches, ' senior, and Clyde
Smith and Gary Hueners, jun
iors. Only lineman reasonably
sure of a starting job is Eldon
Smith, an end.
Fourth letterman currently out
is John Allen, sophomore, who
is being moved from tackle to
center. Gary West, junior guard
who wears a letter, has not yet
joined the squad. i
Richardson has a predominant
ly sophomore-junior crew.
Other games lined' up for
Jacksonville this year are Pros
pect at Central Point on Sep
tember 29, at Rogue River on
October 7 Talent at Central
Point on October 13, St. Mary's
at Medford on October 22 and
Illinois Valley at Central Point
on October 29.
Sam Bishop, a quarterback,
was to be the most experienced
man 'in the Redskin backfield
this season but has moved to
California.

ed his relentless punching attack
through the remainder of the
bout to score the decisive win.
Two of the judges gave him
eight - rounds and the referee
gave Fullmer nine.
