DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (SNS) - Coach Jack "Cy" McClairen will unveil the 1961 edition of the Bethune-Cookman College Wildcats for local fans tonight at 8:00 p.m. at Welch Memorial Stadium when the Wildcats will meet the highly favored Wolverines of Morris Brown College.
The Wildcats, bringing to this game a 1-1 record for the season, are expected to be high for this game. The new offensive minded tactics of the Wildcats, having been put into play during the past two games, are beginning to jell, and the fans who witness the game on Saturday will see a wide open brand of football.
Coach Jack McClairen, former outstanding end with the Pittsburgh Steelers, stated "Our boys have been a little slow in picking up our new pro-type offensive but Bobby Frazier, 170 lb. number one sophomore quarterback from Sebring, Fla., after completing 16 of 21 passes in the past game served notice that they are on their way."
Several outstanding linemen will be getting into action for this game-King Devis, 5'11", 170 lb. senior end, has been outstanding in the past two games along with Fred Douglas 5'11" 195 lb. end from Gary Indiana, John Wilkins, 6'2" 180 lb. end from Pittsburgh, Pa.
Captain Robert Townsel, 6' 195 lb., senior center from Miami along with Walter Fields, 6'2" 225 lb. guard from Daytona Beach and Charles Chestnut, 5'10" 210 lb., guard from Miami will be the leaders in the forward wall.
Cecil McClendon, 5'10" 182 lb., scatback from Gary, Indiana, who was injured, for the past game is expected to be in tip-top shape. McClendon to date has been the leading ground gainer for the Wildcats.
The 1961 edition of the Marching Wildcats under the direction of bandleader Jimmy Carter will present a pre-game show and half-time show for the fans.
Kick-off time is 8:00 p.m.
