...backfield Coach Harlow will have Marvin Jenkis, Herb Fritts, and Pete Harwood as wingbacks, Jack McDonald at quarter, and Bob cowen as fullback. William "Willow". Fisher and Leo Flynn, who won their Varsity H in 1942, are back from the wars and will help round out the team...
Army Air Forces revealed a little more about LeMay's power by identifying four wings of B-29s in his command, two on Tinian, one each on Saipan and Guam. The young brigadier generals in his all-star backfield are Roger M. Ramey, 58th Wing; Emmett ("Rosie") O'Donnell Jr., 73rd; John H. Davies, 313th; Thomas S. Power, 314th...

Horvath, who turned down $6,000 a season with the Cleveland (pro) Rams in order to finish his Ohio State dental course, is the Big Nine's top ground-gainer with 669 yards. With his mates paving the way in a seesaw battle, he twice brought the Buckeyes from behind, scored their last two touchdowns. Final score: Ohio State 18, Michigan...
