Kyree Calloway will miss the rest of the season with a broken forearm. That is his season.

He has 2,511 yards from scrimmage in two seasons, and ten touchdowns.

Osaka, Japan is where he is from. He is twenty-nine. Around the building he is the first man in the building most mornings. The route here: rugby until he was nineteen, and he tackles like it. Before any of it he dug graves for a summer and says it was the best job he ever had.

Ironmen, 4-11, and sixteen weeks gone. Knuckles Yelverton is new.

Calloway calls his grandmother before every game and after every loss.

This feature ran in the paper in week 16 of 1978. The rest of the season is there too.
