Navy Counting On C Burchett By TOAL MURRAY

Gander Makes Good Navy counting on Chester Burchett to push for a starting halfback role after spring training. The Baytown Texas native, 5-3 150 pounds, has risen from Junior Varsity to the Middies’ lineup as he recovers from a recent operation. Burchett starred at Robert E Lee High and impressed national magazines as a steady halfback with speed and breaking ability. He faces competition from his younger brother Kermit Burchett, now a growing 5-14 210-pound threat. Burchett recalls tough games, including Pittsburgh, and recalls a 78-yard TD run versus Penn State. Teammates praise his desire and defense, with Dan Stallworth calling him a fine football player and very proud of him.
