In the fourth quarter he bulled his way five yards for the last T.D, in a 25-6 victory. FOOTBALL 1957 takes, whetting the edges, preparing to carry the banner into battle again—marks the week of Sep- tember 28, But on Saturday the memories of aching muscles and eight o'clock meals fade before the prospect of another win.
