Duke Checkdown Jr. QB
Draymen

Duke Checkdown Jr. will miss 4 games with a quad. It is the third time this season he has been on the report. Draft accordingly.

He has 6,834 yards from scrimmage in five seasons, and eighty-nine touchdowns. He got to 1,930 once. Not this time.

He turned twenty-six this year. He is from Ashfork, Arizona. Ask anybody: he keeps his own counsel and his own hours. He was the second man taken at his position out of Caldwell A&M.

The club is 2-0. Sal Ami is new.

He reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 2 of 1991. The rest of the season is there too.
