...midseason 1958, a big (6 ft. 2 in., 228 Ibs.) Negro fullback named James Nathaniel Brown of the Cleveland Browns is the most spectacular professional football player in the U.S. With the twelve-game season only half gone, Jimmy Brown, 22, is already within a whisker of topping the all-time pro records for touchdowns (18) and total rushing yardage (1.146) set by Philadelphia's Steve Van Buren in the 19403. In six games Brown has piled up 15 touchdowns, gained 928 yards, been the prime mover in the Cleveland Browns' try for their eighth division championship...
...important to take note of the unusually receptive response from the audience as an indication that listeners are looking for something other than letter-perfect but perfunctory performances of works that can be handled easily by each last-desk player.

John Pinheiro, a letter winner last year, and Bob Trigg will probably start at the fullbacks, while Dave Buten, John Jerbasi, and John Kurland will open at halfback...
...steadily, on fine running by Boulris--28 yards--and Don Gerety--16 yards--to the Penn three yard line. There Johanson called his one obviously bad play of the afternoon. He pitched deep back to Gerety at the ten and the right halfback was stopped by Jacoby, the outstanding player of the day for Penn, for a seven yard loss...
