New Coach Drill

Giants Make Comeback|

After Early Losses Iron

Season Out ‘Bugs’

Mentors Find Hard Work in Practice Poys Off on Scoreboard, Morale

By JIMMIE ANGELOPOLOUS Things are beginning to even up out at Ben Davis because things

are beginning to add up.

Coach Lou Parnell, who roamed the European recreational fron-

tier last summer, came back to h at Park School. He shook hands John Masariu, fresh out of Butle borhood recreational problems of boys.

You couldn’t tell it for a while because the Giants dropped two close squeaks out of three and succumbed to Southport, a rival county power. Parnell and Masariu, who can

whistle while they work, found.

out the panacea for the Giants’ ills. They drilled on fundamentals, an apparent necessity handicapping high school gridders im the state the last two years because of no spring drills. They drilled . until they could notice the results on the scoreboard. Ben Davis tripped little Pike Township, 32 to 6, lwo weeks ago and became the third county team in a row to hang the black crepe on Speedway’s defending chamrions. . The score was 20 to 15. The Plugs aren't flat on their backs. but their wholesale injuries haven't helped matters. Burkhardt Improved Also The Giants were coming into their own and one of the boys who also found himself is Halfback Glen Burkhardt, who has scored five. touchdowns in the last two games. He had been hurt in an accident. Coach Parnell's praise doesn’t slow down until h2 gets down to is third stringers, and then he to sidestep because “I've got some promising young ones coming up.” hat answered the query about all those 18 seniors he has almost blanketing the first startin eleven, Sophomore Dave Marksbary, a 175-pounder, and Junior Jack Moore, a 150-pound quartertack, are the only underclassmen starters, usually. The Giant mentor ftruck a happy balance betweén continued development of this rich inheritance of seniors dnd his next year's hopefuls. Seniors Dale Morgan and Bob Hoeger man the flanks; senior Jim Moore, no relation to Jack,

has the other tackle spot; Jim|

Campbell and Pat Pinkston are at guards for the last year, and Center Dave Henderson hopes to graduate, too. Clayton Carmichael, at fullback; Bill Ping, at right half-
