Jackets Prep For Fast Yet Inexperienced 1945 Football Season
The Yellow Jackets under Coach Venters have two weeks of practice before a nine game schedule. The 45 man squad includes about 15 veterans and nine lettermen.

The team aims for speed and agility despite inexperience as weather allows further practice.
