Milo Cheeverly had 148 yards. He was the younger brother of a player nobody in this league remembers. Two of them found the end zone, in game 6 of his season. It counts the same as anybody else's.

He has 2,486 yards from scrimmage in two seasons, and thirty-two touchdowns. He has never had a year like it.

He turned twenty-three this year. He is from New Antwerp, Wisconsin. Ask anybody: he is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful. In another life he was three credits short of a nursing degree.

The club is 3-3. Wendell Upshot is new.

He does the crossword in the locker room before he dresses, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 6 of 1999. The rest of the season is there too.
