Jackets Opening Season Coach Bill Frazier of John Graham's Yellow Jackets was very optimistic with the performance of his team during a scrimmage game against 3-A Ahoskie last Thursday night. Though no score is maintained in a scrimmage game, both schools got the ball past the goal line twice. Coach Frazier said his ball club profited by the game and that his offense looked reliable. His defense needed work, the coach noted. The defense will have a chance to do better for the coach on Friday night as the Yellow Jackets battle South Granville on the home field at 8 p. m. South Granville has been working to improve an inexperienced defense with Arnold Wyrick, a junior tackle, the only man on defense returning from last year Wyrick, at 5-11, 185 pounds, is one of the largest men on the squad. Coach Thomas R. Merritt for the Vikings said that Ray Faulkner and Dale Williams are in the quarterback position but Faulkner is expected to start against John Graham. He played second-string to all-state quarterback Ricky Brummitt last year. (Brummitt is now first-string punter for Duke). Charlie Lancaster and David Fowler, ends, are expected to be an aid to the Viking offense this year. The South Granville team has only two seniors in the starting lineup.
