ATHENS GA December 24 -- Texas Christian University questions how All America halfback Frankie Sinkwich defies tacklers. Trainer T Fitz Lutz credits Sinkwichs flat feet and balance for his top speed and elusive direction changes. Sinkwich led the nation in rushing with 1,103 yards, narrowly missing the national record set by Whizzer White. He outgained eight of Georgia’s ten opponents, with a single long TD of 69 yards against Dartmouth. Despite a broken jaw earlier, he plays with a protective steel hammock to guard the jaw in the Orange Bowl against Texas Christian University.
