...Gallagher has been singled out for three days in a row by the coaching staff for his work at tailback. Gallagher is probably the best passer on the squad, in addition to being a shifty, broken field runner.

Doubtless he would try to draw the maximum attention away from Tobruk with handsome paragraphs about his conversations with President Roosevelt, a Second Front, other future possibilities.
