The roster includes future SMU stars Cecil Sutphin and Walter Roberts, WWII casualties Johnny Allman and Milton Scott, and coach Dan Stallworth with Red Bale. The plaque’s journey from scrap heap to display honors wartime faith and a close knit squad that defeated Port Arthur for the first time in five years.
