Bears Face Setback as Nolting Breaks Leg
In Collegeville on September 19, reports say Ray Nolting of the Chicago Bears suffered a fractured leg in the previous day’s exhibition against the New York Giants in Buffalo. He is expected to miss at least a month as physicians treat the left halfback. The Philadelphia Eagles may also be without star tackles Vic Leary and Al Wistert after a 21-7 exhibition win over the Detroit Lions.
