Beckett Morrow beats the Prospectors to it

Beckett Morrow QB
The Fighting Ostriches

Beckett Morrow had 172 yards against the Prospectors, who used to employ him. He is 37 now, which was most of the argument at the time. The fixture comes round again next year.

He has 32,532 yards from scrimmage in seventeen seasons, and 468 touchdowns. He got to 2,543 once. Not this time. For five clubs.

He is from Tijuana, Mexico. Around the building he is the one the young players actually ask. Nobody planned any of it. He was the second man taken at his position out of Marchbanks.

The Fighting Ostriches, 7-4, and twelve weeks gone. Rico Norwood is in year eleven of it. He is out of contract after this.

Morrow has never once been photographed smiling on a sideline.

This feature ran in the paper in week 12 of 1994. The rest of the season is there too.
