142 yards, and a road nobody would recommend

Dez Cruikshank, team beat

Andre Lattimore RB
The Custodians

Andre Lattimore had 142 yards. He was undrafted out of Dunbar Normal, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum. Two of them found the end zone, in game 9 of his season. It counts the same as anybody else's.

The ledger, after five seasons: 643 yards, five scores. This is the best of them. He has done it in three buildings.

He turned twenty-eight this year. He is from Miami, Florida. He is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable.

The Custodians are 7-6 through fourteen weeks. Nolan Fenwick is in year two of it. There is one year left on the deal.

He will not step on the painted logo at midfield, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 14 of 1981. The rest of the season is there too.
