But the sunday contest starts at 1 . Wei Brincken coach tiny Owens is impressed but not awed with the Pitburg statistics. We re ready for Pitburg Owens said. We be made some adjust ments in our offence and defense and i think that will  the Warrior coach noted that the Home Field advantage would particularly help his team. We play better at Home than on the Road there s no question about  he added that his team has a Good attitude for saturday s clash against the Barons. But Good attitudes Don t win football games Good playing does and Pitburg has been playing excellent Ball All season. Leading their division in offence with an average 382.7 Yards per game the Barons also give up fewer Points than their Divi Sion rivals allowing Only 111.3 Yards to be notched against them per game. We Brucken on the other hand has " managed to give away an average of 258.8 Yards in each of its games while amassing Only 148.6.

Despite the obvious statistical superiority Raetz and the Barons Aren t going into the contest with swelled Heads. We re not taking Wei Bricken lightly Raetz insists. They re probably the most improved team in the league this  the Pitburg coach added i be seen them play twice this season and can honestly say i m quite impressed with their Speed and a  Charles Parker s tigers 3-2 in Confer ence play put their undisputed claim to the american division Lead in jeopardy when Sembach journeys to the Eifel Moun Barons Gerald Mcmiller.
