Phantom back Burkett shines in Orange Bowl buildup
Dothan halfback Burkett, once called the phantom back by a Miami writer, missed a Pensacola scouting game due to illness before the Orange Bowl with Miami. Hartford’s 1945 season is praised after a near flawless run, with Lon Wise credited for guiding the eleven. Roy Knapp, ex Midland City coach and Navy athletic specialist, is available for coaching work. Jack Trowater of the Tigers celebrated a successful season and received odd gifts during a banquet.
