With this star-studded backfield and a 220-lb. line, the All-Army Westerners set out this week to break up the deadly passing of Redskin Sammy Baugh.

At Natick the Rhode Island Redskin (whose Indian name, Attuck-Quock-Wussete, means Deer-foot) found himself leading the pack, along with Walter Young, 1937 winner. Together they loped along for twelve miles...
