College Backs Likely to Make 1000-Yard Club
The Associated Press notes 1948 could crown a new batch of 1000-yard rushers. Ed Price of Tulane nears the mark with two games left, while Fred Wendt of Texas Mines and others like Papit, Stephenson, and Davis chase the record. History shows only 17 players have averaged 100 yards per game over ten years, with former stars Harmon and Sinkwich among the notable names. Price needs 108 yards to reach 1000 after Tulane’s win and upcoming games against Cincinnati and LSU. The piece also highlights Nevada’s Stan Heath leading in total offense through the season.
