...footer with a tremendous kick in his massive legs. One of soccer's hardest shots, he can boot a ball fast enough to break a man's hand. From 20 yards he has often broken the goal's netting. Despite his Bronko Nagurski bulk, Gonsalves has the nimbleness of a Red Grange. At dribbling, volleying, jumping and tackling (snaring a ball from an opponent by clever footwork), he can match his stringier colleagues. At heading, too, Gonsalves has no peer. He butts with prodigious accuracy, has headed a mud-heavy ball smack into...
...Angel's matchmaker, recognizes one Steve Casey as U. S. champion, claiming for this crown an unbroken line of descent all the way back to Frank Gotch, who retired as champion in 1913.

...with the fearsome Bears, railroads offered jubilant Washington fans a special rate of $23.20 for the round-trip to Chicago. The Bears were 10-to-7 favorites. They had lost only one game (out of eleven) all season, the Redskins had lost three. Chicagoans predicted heavyweight Wrestling Champion Bronko Nagurski would rip the Redskin line and Bernie Masterson would take care of Baugh. They were wrong...
