The oldest trick this offence has

Hal Vandergrift, veteran beat

Magnus Cabrera TE
Wolfhounds

B. Thackeray has now thrown 40 touchdowns to Magnus Cabrera. Partnerships like that used to be how you described a team, before everybody started describing schemes. They have played 15 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

He has 3,353 yards from scrimmage in four seasons, and forty touchdowns. There was a 1,098-yard year in there. This is not it.

He is twenty-five, out of Auckland, New Zealand. Around the building he talks constantly and means about half of it. The route here: a first-round pick out of Lake Chandler, and everybody saw it coming.

Wolfhounds are 11-4 through sixteen weeks. Sterling Rollins is in year three of it. The contract runs out in the spring.

Calls his grandmother before every game and after every loss.

This feature ran in the paper in week 16 of 1989. The rest of the season is there too.
