Columbus High School football team and student body looked forward to a rewarding season under the guidance of a new head coach, Fred McManus. Coach McManus came to CHS from Cartersville High in Car– ter ville, Georgia. The University of Georgia saw him as both a member of the var ity "Bulldog" squad and later as an assistant coach of the Freshman "Bullpups". While Mr: McManus was a sistant coach at Richmond Academy, that school won the State AAA title in football. Fred McManus brought with him new ideas plus the determination to play each game well. The other change in the staff was the acquisition of Billy Carrollton, new line coach. Coach Carrollton was in Sa– vannah at Jenkins High School before he came here. Dewey Renfroe, veteran backfield mentor, completed the coaching staff for this year's varsity team. Football camp at Lake Juniper began on Monday, August 17.

The trong point in the team appeared to be the backfield. Five returnees from la t year's backfield made things look much rosier. The end positions were well filled during the football camp. A few pre-season prognosticators felt that it would be a lean eason, but the players were optimistic. ( 205 )
