...finally managed to get 130 onetime players assigned to football detail. Standouts among the Eastern squad are Corporal Norman Standlee (fullback terror of Stanford's famed T formation and more recently the bugaboo of the big bad Chicago Bears), Lieut. Harold Van Every (one of Minnesota's slickest broken-field runners and later star of the monstrous Green Bay Packers) and Corporal George Cafego (tailback on Tennessee's recent wonder team). The Western Lineup boasts Lieut. John Kimbrough (Texas Aggies' 220-lb. fullback who got $9,000 for six pro games last year) and three others...

But once the D.A. gets the mobsters on the run, the play loses its fascinating documentary flavor, becomes just another melodrama...
Accomplice in Hutson's recent robberies has been red-headed left halfback Cecil Isbell (Purdue '38), one of the slickest passers in the game. Since they teamed up. Isbell-to-Hutson has become to football what Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance once was to baseball. This season, completing 117 passes in 206 attempts (for a gain of nearly a mile), Green Bay's Isbell has put Washington's "Slingin' Sammy" Baugh in the shade...
