Ewbank Finds A QB For Colts After Loss To Eagles
Baltimore, coming off the NFL title, used Ray Brown as a substitute quarterback in a 35-13 exhibition loss to Philadelphia. Brown completed 16 of 33 passes for 199 yards and a touchdown, impressing Weeb Ewbank and Norm Van Brocklin, who praised the rookie passer. The Giants will try Alex Webster at fullback due to injuries to Mel Triplett and Phil King. Several teams shuffled QBs and backs as trades and injuries reshape depth charts for the coming season.
