sulphur UcLOEc SLuO 0LdIS pO"-
erful fullback, Bob Ferguson, was
named back-of-the-year by the
United Press.
Stephens Versatile
But Minnesota's versatile quar-
terback, Sandy Stephens, was still
to be heard from. In contention for
the previous two honors, the hard
running, good passing quarterback
of the Rose Bowl Golden Gophers
was named the most valuable play
er in the Big Ten-the same con-
ference in which Ohio States Fer
guson performs.
We didn't see Davis in action
this year except on television. But
the fact that the pros made him
their No. 1 draft pick is good
enough endorsement. He is, ap-
parently, big and strong and has
good speed. He runs the ends, cat
ches passes, and carries into the
line for the needed short yardage.
Ferguson and Stephens both
played here against Northwestern,
and If there is a better back in the
country than Ferguson he must be
tremendous.
Ferguson's Power
Northwestern, though it did not
win but half its games this year,
was good ball club with an out
standing line. They played a fine
game against Ohio State. But
every time the Buckeyes gave the
ball to Ferguson he literally fell
forward at least two to three addi-
donal yards - with a couple Of
players hanging onto him. And
when he did get past scrimmage
he knew how to move and shift.
He's a combination of the old-time
crunching, power football and the
mobility of today's modern, speed
Ter game.
Stephens played here with an in
jured leg and apparently was be-
low par physically. OF the three,
he is the most versatile. He can
run and block and pass. He had a
bad day throwing against North
western - yet it was his running
passing threat, and a few key
passes which he did complete,
which brought the Gophers their
victory that ady, 1912.
He wasn't the best runner in
the Big Ten nor the best passer.
But his versatility made him a
constant threat and he did have
games where his passing was out
standing. Some question his role in
the pro leagues because he is not
exceptional in any one phase of
play. But he easily could be anoth-
er Paul Hornung - without the
