' Chastain, now back in quest of his fourth football letter, is con sidered the best receiver among the Presbyterian flankmen. His sticky hands have been a mainstay of the passing attack in past campaigns, and he will be counted on even more heavily this fall. The 6 foot, 1-inch Central native also is considered a sound defensive end. He’ll be even harder to turn this year, with his weight up to 185 pounds. News Of Bonds Cross Roads Mrs. B W.
