Prospectors
T.X. Lattimore is 39 and averaging 14.0 a week. He reads Normal, which makes the mileage harder to explain, not easier.
22,687 yards over seventeen seasons. 360 touchdowns. 253 games. There was a 2,448-yard year in there. This is not it. Five clubs have had him.
Thirty-nine, and Sable, North Dakota before that. Around the building he runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it. He was the son of a man who played eleven years at the same position.
The club is 6-1. Hoot Jessup is in year nine of it. There is one year left on the deal.
One more thing: he eats the same breakfast every game day and will not discuss it.
