Tough run for Evans

Coach Red Bullock and his assistant, Mitchell Milford, said the Evans High football team has a tough 10-game schedule lined up. Two of the games will be against Harlem at home.

The Knights, who have many players returning this season, plan to use the T-formation a great deal.

According to Coach Bullock, 1959 is a key year.
