81 yards a game, both in rushing

with en- average Of 452.5. yard for

When they returned to the States
they were delnged with contracts

The high spot in their career as
a trio occurred when they had ar

an unlucky offer as far as the trio
was concerned for one of the girls
married the trumpet player anc
