...left and right halfbacks, respectively, will be Bob Tyler and Alan Reich, Tyler, who missed most of last season because of a broken arm suffered in the opener against Penn, is a specialist in running back punts and kick-offs. He is especially fast and hits hard for his 170 pounds. Reich, 170 pounds, was unheralded at the start of the season, but his performances against Michigan and Penn have gained him the starting post over the veteran Ed Isbey...

Kenney, a good commander, had neither LeMay's training as a long-range bomber specialist, his experience as a battle pilot, nor his hard-driving temperament. Kenney's bombers spent much of their time making easy training flights, "just boring holes in the air," as one of them recalls it.
