F. Curdle III has 153 and a story

Ruth Fairbanks, features

Franklin Curdle III QB
Ironmen

There is a version of F. Curdle III's life where none of this happens. He was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched. Instead: 153 yards. He is 23, and he is the first man in the building most mornings. It counts the same as anybody else's.

This story ran on the wire in week 3 of 1977. The rest of the season is in the paper.
