And Modesto will he a tough season'sopener for they are consistently the#..........strongest Jaysee outfit in Northern |________California.However, the Papooses have plenty of fireworks to shoot at their ri-vals in tomorrow's battle.

For power Shipkey has the mature and talented Milt Vucinich and a carrot-topped line cracker,Bed Taylor,TACKLES BEEFYOn Vucinieh’s husky shoulders fall I the passing and punting burdens. !In Stamm and Norburg are a pair of physically ideal ends--lanky, fast, I rugged. The tackles, Robinson andBanducci, are both beefy and yetagile and skillful enough with .heir hands to move opposing linesmen around in a hurry.The* typical guard is built low to the ground and packs plenty of beef. And McCain and Palmer li!l these qualifications to the last letter. While the first-string center, Bob Mannon, is a rangy six-looter who does a good job of line-backing.Yesterday Shipkey and his assistants. Bill Paulman and Louis Tsou-tsouvus, drilled the frosh against Modesto plays. Emphasis was put on choking off the Jaysee pass plays I and plugging holes in the line on i cut-backs, both favorite weapons of the invaders.LINEMEN BURDENEDAlso the linemen were burdenedwith double blocking assignments in ease Modesto uses first a seven and j then a five-man line as has been their habit. !This year’s outfit will have to1 hustle to uphold the record of last season's unbeaten, untied eleven, but they certainly have the material and the fire to do just that. iThe starting lineup is: left end,' Norburg; left tackle.
