Firebrands

They got Tobias Gravelle back. He looked like he never left — 23.2 points.

He has 898 yards from scrimmage in his first season, and nine touchdowns.

Twenty-nine, and Cork, Ireland before that. Around the building he is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful. The route here: an academic transfer who arrived at Marchbanks to study engineering.

Firebrands are 1-5 through six weeks. Crash Cavanaugh is new. There is one year left on the deal.

One more thing: he has worn the same undershirt since his rookie year and had it repaired twice.

This feature ran in the paper in week 6 of 1977. The rest of the season is there too.
