Marauders

2 more touchdowns from L. Klopstock to Levi Waddle, 22 in total. Target share explains some of it; the rest is the pair of them. They have played 10 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

1,538 yards over two seasons. Twenty-two touchdowns. Thirty-four games. This is the best of them.

Detroit, Michigan is where he is from. He is twenty-seven. Around the building he is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful. He was a late bloomer who did not start a game until he was a college senior. He played the trombone well enough to be offered a scholarship for it, once.

Marauders are 9-3 through thirteen weeks. Emmett Quarles is new. He is out of contract after this.

One more thing: he never takes his helmet off between series.

This feature ran in the paper in week 13 of 1978. The rest of the season is there too.
