Wheels McKinley QB
Hellcats

97 yards for Wheels McKinley, against the club that did not want him. We did. He says almost nothing and is listened to anyway, so nobody expects him to say much about it. The fixture comes round again next year.

The ledger, after ten seasons: 18,697 yards, 321 scores. There was a 2,348-yard year in there. This is not it. Three clubs have had him.

He turned thirty-five this year. He is from Two Rivers, Michigan. He was the son of a man who played eleven years at the same position.

Hellcats are 6-7 through fourteen weeks. Lawnmower Jawbone is new. He is out of contract after this.

McKinley will not step on the painted logo at midfield.

This feature ran in the paper in week 14 of 1986. The rest of the season is there too.
