Marauders

T. Beetlestone TO Hollis Curdle. AGAIN. That is 24 of them now. They have played 5 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

3,876 yards over six seasons. Forty-five touchdowns. Seventy-four games. His best was 1,013. This is not that, yet. For three clubs.

Pinch, West Virginia is where he is from. He is thirty-four. Ask anybody: he is the first man in the building most mornings. Nobody planned any of it. He was a first-round pick out of Halloway State, and everybody saw it coming. Before any of it he competed in strongman events regionally.

Marauders are 3-4 through eight weeks. Emmett Quarles is in year five of it. He is out of contract after this.

Refuses to be taped by anybody but the same assistant trainer.

This feature ran in the paper in week 8 of 1982. The rest of the season is there too.
