Bands and strutting majorettes will highlight the parade to be held here tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock by the Carver Heights football squad prior to the Homecoming grid contest set for Thursday night on the local gridiron.

Opposing Coach Dabney's warriors will be the highly touted Crooms Academy Panthers of Sanford, one of the larger Class A schools in the Florida Interscholastic Athletic Association.

The Seminole County lads will invade Leesburg to boast a season record of six victories and one defeat.

Nicknamed "Sanford's Big Daddy," the hulking 272-pound tackle and alternating fullback, has been next to hard to stop in previous games of the Panthers. Coach Dabney and his staff are concentrating plays to bring an end to the bruising players ground gaining.

Football fans in the Leesburg area will see plenty of action in tomorrow's game.
