W.T. Hall, Jr. Makes Stetson Varsity
Shows up Well In the Spring Practice
Stetson University football fans will see the Hatter gridiron machine in action on the home field in three out of seven games thus far arranged for the 1936 season according to Head Coach Brady Cowell.
In releasing the list of contests for next fall, Cowell said he was still negotiating for an opening encounter October 2 at DeLand against an unnamed opponent. The schedule so far reads:
Oct. 17 - Florida at Gainesville.
Oct. 23 - Tampa at Tampa.
Oct.. 30 - Erskine at DeLand.
Nov. 6 - Miami at Miami.
Nov. 14 (Homecoming) - Union University at DeLand.
Dec. 4 - Rollins at Orlando.
Despite the loss by graduation of fifteen first-string warriors, Coaches Cowell and Chester Freeman expressed themselves as pleased with the showing made by candidates for the 1936 squad during the first three weeks of spring practice.
As a nucleus the Stetson mentors have experienced material in MacCalla and Minehart, center; Nichols and Bridges, tackles; Coombs and Frison, guards; Barber, Cudmore, Haddock and Dickson, ends. In the backfield Branham, Martin and Clonts comprise the most promising material.
From the 1935 freshmen ranks Cowell and Freeman have several likely youngsters for the backfield. Lyndol Warren should prove a mainstay of the passing attack. Lowery, Cobb, W.T. Hall, Jr., and Stewart have also attracted attention in the backfield Kirkland, Swanson, Bob Anderson and Butler are viewed as good line material. Hall is from Leesburg and is making an excellent showing. He will make the varsity barring injuries without a doubt.
