PAUL PATTERSON EXPECTED TO STAR
FOR ILLINOIS u GRID TEAM

Champaign, Ill.-(ANP)-llli-
nois has been classified as an IF"
team for 1913 and putting that
little two-letter word in the larg-
est kind Of type it still spells Paul
Patterson as far as Coach Ray
Eliot is concerned.
The nlini need a break-away
back to make Eliot's T a potent
offensive weapon. A look up and
down the roster or across the
practice field reveals that Patter-
son is most likely candidate to fill
that role.
Injuries and excess weight lin
tied Patterson's talents last fall,
although he had regular Illini
backs in average yardage with 81
yards a try. But in l947, and also
in 1916 when Illinois won the Big
Nine and Rose Bowl titles, Eliot
had a wealth Of other experienced
halfbacks to take up the slack.
Now boys like Julie Rykovich,
Art Dufelmeirer, Chick Maggioli,
and fleet Buddy Young are gone,
and importance Of Patterson has
grown proportionately.
Streaks Of brilliance in his 1914,
1916, and l947 seasons with the
nlini indicated Patterson has the
stuff If he can gain consistency Of
performance. Any halfback who
rolls up 1887 yards in 2ll tries
over three years, averaging SO
yards every time he carries the
ball and scoring rs points, must
have something. Eliot hopes Pat
terson will show that something
regularly and in even greater
yardage totals this fall.
Patterson's greatest campaign
was his freshman season, 1914,
when he and Young teamed at
halfbacks. Only II years old then,
Patterson sped to 800 yards in
1870 carries, a 81 yard average.
Paul was a halfback for the Fleet
City Navy Bluejackets in l945,
then received his service dis
charge and returned to the Illini
in 1946.
The wealth Of Illinois halfbacks
that year and last fall meant Pat
terson no longer was the work
horse, yet Paul maintained his
ball-carrying average around the
6-yard mark. His breakaways Of
1914 became less frequent, how
ever, because of leg injuries.

condition of his career, running
at trim 1888 pounds and showing
more nimbleness afoot. Not over
ly fast, Paul is the type who can
fake a defensive man off his feet
and who can pick his way adept
ly through a broken field.
II wasn't until late last fall, in
scoring runs against Ohio State
and Northwestern, that Patterson
showed his elusiveness to the
fullest extent. He spent most Of
the season trying to get the feel"
of his hipper-dipper running after
early injury. But his 68-yard
breakaway on a damp field at
Ohio State and a 25-yard scoring
spring through the entire North
western team in the last two
games Of l947 engendered vision
Of a thoroughly dangerous Pat
terson this fall.
Patterson prepped at East High,
Aurora, where his passing, run
ming, and kicking were key fac
tors on good teams for three sea-
sons. He missed much of his SEN
Tor campaign at East with a
broken ankle, but hobbled into
action in time to run and pass his
team to a victory over crosstown
rival, West High, on Thanksgiv-
ing Day, 1913
Then Paul turned attention to
Illinois in 1914. He scored five
touchdowns for Eliot that year,
added four each in l946 and l947.
A touchdown spree for Patterson
this season could make the Illini
club a real threat.
