DAVE LEGGETT, HOWARD CASSADY, HUBERT BOBO (see opposite page).

BOB WATKINS (No. 45), rhb: Fine power runner with great speed. Led team in scoring with nine TDs, best on off-tackle, traps and dives. Weak on defense.

BOB THORNTON (55), c: Average linebacker, stronger vs. passes than runs. Has a tendency to get too tight in the line on close yardage situations.

JOHN BORTON (20), qb: Spells Leggett but hasn't played much in 1954. Likes to pass on fourth down. A poor runner on the keep. No. 2 punter behind Bobo.

JIM PARKER (62), lg: Powerful on straight-ahead blocking. Fast, but can be fooled when play goes around him.

JIM REICHENBACH (63), rg: Best offensive lineman, especially on traps. Plays head on the center on defense, quick on plays to his right or left.

DICK HILINSKI (70), lt: Good tackle and moves well for his size. May tire. Strong on defense straight ahead. Poor reaction to his right or left.

FRANCIS MACHINSKY (79), rt: Best pass rusher, excellent blocker. Will often charge high and slide. Can be trapped.
