Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
1. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying audited and unaudited
consoli dated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly
the financial position as of April 6, 1997, and January 4, 1997, and the
results of operations and cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended April 6,
1997 and March 31, 1996.
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note A to
the Company's consolidated financial statements in Form 10-K for the year
ended January 4, 1997.
2. The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended April 6, 1997, are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
3. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share",
effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The statement is
intended to simplify the earnings per share calculation by excluding common
stock equivalents from the calculation. While the Company has not completed
its analysis, it is not anticipated that the change in the calculation will
have a significant effect on reported earnings per share.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is Management's Discussion and Analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the Company's earnings during the
periods included in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of
income.
A summary of the period to period changes in the principal items included
in the consolidated statements of income is shown below:

</TABLE>
Sales were essentially flat for the first quarter of 1997 over the first
quarter of 1996. Weather related weakness in fleece sales at retail resulted
in lower fleece sales for the quarter. Sales did increase into the distributor
market despite the continuance of competitive pricing pressures, primarily in
t-shirts. Additionally, sales increases in other areas of the Company further
offset the fleece decline.
Gross margins improved to 31.8% of sales for the quarter from the previous
year's first quarter 31.5% margins. Lower selling prices were more than offset
by improvements in raw material prices and improving manufacturing
efficiencies.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly, but
remained constant as a percent of sales at 22.2%.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company's financial condition remains strong. Inventories increased
slightly faster than sales, again, primarily due to the lower than anticipated
fleece sales at retail. The current ratio was 2.8:1 at April 6, 1997. The
Company's debt to total capitalization at that date was 27.6%, down from 31.1%
for the same period in 1996.

Required cash for inventories, treasury stock purchases, capital expenditures
and dividends was derived from internally generated funds and borrowings under
short-term bank loans. The Company maintained $288 million in informal lines
of credit at the end of the quarter.
The Company utilizes two interest rate swap agreements in the management of
its interest rate exposure. These agreements effectively convert a portion of
the Company's interest rate exposure from a fixed to a floating rate basis, and
from a floating rate to a fixed rate basis. The effect of these agreements was
to effectively lower interest expense on the Company's long-term debt in the
first quarter.
The Company utilizes cotton futures contracts to set sales prices which are
generally set six months to a year in advance of the selling season. Depending
upon market conditions, these contracts may be purchased at the time prices are
set. Purchasing futures contracts not only limits the risk of price increases,
but also limits the Company's ability to benefit from future price decreases.
At April 6, 1997, the Company had outstanding futures contracts, that when
combined with other contracts and inventory, exceeded the Company's anticipated
remaining 1997 cotton requirements.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
a) The Annual Meeting of Shareholders was held on April 23, 1997.
c) Crawford T. Johnson III retired from the Board of Directors effective
at the Annual Meeting.
At the Annual Meeting, shareholders voted upon the following nominees to
serve as Directors for a three-year term. The results of the vote are as
follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Name For Withheld
---- --- --------
<S> <C> <C>
John C. Adams 33,154,629 515,273
James D. Nabors 33,155,569 514,333
Benjamin Russell 33,156,710 513,192
Margaret M. Porter 33,161,011 508,891
</TABLE>
All nominees were elected.
C.V. Nalley III, John R. Thomas, John A. White, and Timothy A. Lewis will
continue in office until their terms expire in 1998. Herschel M. Bloom and
Ronald G. Bruno will continue in office until their terms expire in 1999.
The proposal voted upon by the shareholders involved amendments to the Russell
Corporation 1993 Executive Long Term Incentive Plan (the "1993 Plan"). The
reason for amending the 1993 Plan was to provide individual annual limits on
grants of stock options, SARs, restricted stock and performance shares or
performance units. These limits will bring the 1993 Plan into compliance with
Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) so these awards will continue to be tax
deductible. The vote upon this proposal was as follows:
For: 33,113,368
Against: 479,005
Abstain: 77,526
Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
a) Exhibits -
11 Computation of Earnings Per Share
27 Financial Data Schedule (for SEC use only).
b) Reports on Form 8-K - there were no reports on Form 8-K filed for the
period ended April 6, 1997.
