Pro Grid Notes By Nick Ellena
Rookie Howard Cassady has shined for the Lions but is eclipsed by Don Mellhenny. Eagles rookies Don Schaefer and Ken Keller sparked a 13-9 win over Washington. Three rookie coaches won first games: Driscoll, DeVore and Albert. Giants’ Mel Triplett scored thrice in a 35-27 loss to the Cardinals. George Blanda set a carries, kicking streak and led scorers as Bears beat Packers 28-21. Browns beat Steelers 14-10 but miss Otto Graham’s quarterbacking. Tipton stays on at William and Mary as backfield mentor since 1939.
