The opening game of the football season in Blakely will start with the referee’s whistle tomorrow (Friday) at 3:30 p. m. on the campus of the Blakely high school. The football squad of the Shell man High School will endeavor to get revenge for the three defeats administered to them by the outfit representing the Blue and Gold of past seasons. There is so far no dope on the Shellman team. It is not known how many men they lost or their prospects for the year. Blakely lost more than half of her 1922 team by graduation and the ’23 gridiron squad will be rather light. What they lack in might they hope to make up in speed and fight. They will give a good account of themselves. The people of Blakely are urged to come out to the school grounds tomorrow evening and help back up the home boys and see a good game besides. The following is the prospective line-up for Blakely Hi: L. E. —Westbrook, Cox. L,. T. —Allen, W., Chandler. L,. G.—Barksdale, Cohen. C. —Bush. R. G. —Allen, C. R. T. —Chatfield, Fields. R.
