Tiger Cubs travel to Clinton for season final; expect WIC victory

Greencastie's rallying Tiger Cubs will hit the road tomorrow evening and head for Clinton where they hope to protect their third place standing in the Western Indiana Conference football race with a victory. The contest will be the final for the home town team that is 4-2 in loop action and 6-3 overall. The Cubs dropped their last game to Brazil. 20-6. and their second place ranking in the conference they won last

year.

Clinton has been plagued with troubles all year long and the Cubs expect to take advantage of the situation. Coach Jerry Chance, who went to Clinton from Greencastie, has had to ad-

Cubs and they prefer to pass when paydirt is near. They are a big ball club with their line averaging over 180, but opponents have scored on them easily. Greencastie is in good physical condition, according tq the coaches, with the exception of one boy — Daryl Pierce. Pierce is a 6-1, 173-pound, end-tackle

who made the starting lineup just before being injured three weeks ago. Assistant coach Jim McCammon reports that Pierce will probably be sidelined for a couple of weeks of basketball as well as the Clinton football game. The contest is slated to begin at 7:30 p.m. on the Clinton field.
