strcamline model deluxe, of the
Yellow Jackets, fully equipped
with all features will take the
field this afternoon against q
heavier but less experienced team,
favored to smoother the Windsor
Lions by a top heavy score. The
game scheduled for Friday was
rained out and postponed until
this afternoon.
The Windsor Lions arc neWcom-
ers in the conference circle and
to date are about the weakest link
in ts Northeastern setup however,
before the season is out the BERTHE
ads may prove a stumbling block
in the paths of some ambitious
team. Defeated in the opening
conference tilt by a one sided
score of 63 to 0 by hard driving
speedy Edenton eleven the Lions
have been working hard correct
ing their faults and improving
their blocking. They have plenty
of weight with pair of tackles
that tip the scales at 200 pounds
and fullback the same weight.
They are playing their first year
and when those lads find out what
they are about they may be hard
to handle.
The Jackets after dropping a
one sided affair to the Hampton
"Crabbcrs" who seem headed for
the Class A title Of the State of
Virginia came back to cop the op-
ening conference game from a
fighting Williamson team to the
tune of 13 to featuring a 95
yard gallop by Graham Bunch.
Since that date the Jackets have
work overtime brushing up their
attack by blocking and timeing,
learning new plays and preparing
an over head game that in all
probably will not be used until
the Roanoke Rapids or Edenton
game.
When ask how his club looked
George HunSucker told repre-
sentative Of this paper that it was
the best team that he had coach
cd since the championship team
three years ago. They charge
like they mean it and they are
fast as rabbits.
The line had to be completely
rebuilt from one end to the other
as all of last years team gradual
cd excepting Miller, and end who
is on the injured list. Only Hen
ry Brown had any previous cX-
pCriencc. In the opening game
with Hampton the line looked
powerful but appeared not to
know what to do with it. In the
Williamson game they were
slightly improved, blocking much
better and powerful on defense
and with the third game drawing
nca rthey look better than any
one had expected, even Hunsuck-
er. They are one of the finest Of
fenSiVe lines that ever wore the
Gold and Black. With Joe Tuck
er and Bill Miller on the flanks
they are fixed with two good de-
rensive ends as we'll as pass re-
ceiverS. Tillett and Raymond
Henderson seem to be the finds
of the year as they stand out as
powerhouses at the tackle berths.
Clay Feberee and Henry Brown
form a number one guard COM
bination that posses fight, stimina
and cleverness. Jimmy White in
the pivot position is labeled a
star if he can continue his pre-
sent stride.
In the backfeld, material is
plentyfull. Creeper Crank, a
snake hipped Wilo'Wisp quarter
back appears to be the ace of
aces as a field general. Crank a
cool and inclined to gamble on
every play. 1t is this type gen.
eral that make teams 60 places.
He is probably the best quarter
that the school has ever had.
Running at left half and only a
few pounds heavier than Crank
is Cliff Sawyer, passer and shifty
runner. Sawyer has plenty Of
drive and can take care of him
self once in an open field. At the
other half Graham Bunch and
S. B. Seymore have been alterna-
ting regularly. Bunch is the best
blocker in the backfield while Sey-
more is probably the fastest.
Completing the ball carriers is
the hard driving James McHar-
ney. James apperantly has the
confidence this year that he has
lacked in the past year and is
headed for stardom. He practi-
cally ripped the Wiliamston line
to threads. The game today is
scheduled for HunSl1cknr Field at
