Doak Walker to Play Offense Again in Lions Browns Title
Detroit coach Buddy Parker faced decisions on using Doak Walker in the NFL championship with the Browns in Cleveland. Walker, previously an offensive halfback, played both ways in the previous game and impressed with a 67 yard TD run. Parker may keep him on offense unless Carl Karilivacz is unable to play, then Walker could play defense too. Walker ranked second in scoring and helped Detroit win titles the past two seasons.
