is another very much feared run
ner. He also does a nice b
hanging onto passes for touch
downs.
Willie Gallimore, of the Chicago
Bears, could easily be called the
galloping bear. He gets around
pretty fast if given a little air
space. j {. Caroline has yet TO
make an outstanding record in
the pro ranks but can be depend
ed on for accurate blocking. Lee
Bivins and ii. Lee will give a good
account of themselves for their
line positions for the Bears.
Tom Wilson gets rave notice
now and then for his defensive
work for the l.. A. Rams and
Woodley Lewis knows how TO get
around in the backfield for the
Dallas Cowboys. John Kenerson
and John Baker will do alright in
the line of the Rams.

champion Eagles, will have four.
So will the Detroit Lions, winners
of the 1860 Runner-up Bowl title.
