Julius Massengale QB
Anvils

Julius Massengale: 177 yards. He was an academic transfer who arrived at Fort Ridley to study engineering, which the record will now have to accommodate. He carries a chess set on the road and beats everyone, which his teammates have stopped remarking on. It counts the same as anybody else's.

He has 2,381 yards from scrimmage in six seasons, and thirty-three touchdowns. This is the best of them. Two of those shirts belong to somebody else now.

He turned twenty-nine this year. He is from Phoenix, Arizona. He says almost nothing and is listened to anyway.

Anvils are 3-6 through nine weeks. Marcus Hensley is new.

This feature ran in the paper in week 9 of 1995. The rest of the season is there too.
