Its the most balanced Vandal team 'if ? 7 ever. They are big and fast. exclaimed Belnap. The Weber scout was most impressed with running backs Fred Riley and Frank Doctor and the entire defensive unit. They were great. . .there are no other words todescribe Riley and Doctor. . .they were tremendous!. . .1 think Riley is the best back Ive ever seen, continued Belnap. The Vandals two ace running backs accounted for 281 yards running against New Mexico State. Riley, a 180 pound senior, ran for 154 yards on only 16 carries and 190 fullback Doctor, a pound junior, rushed for 117 yards. It was the second straight game for Doctor who ran for 155 yards against Pacific. Doctor and Riley probo runably are the best ning combination in the conference. and Riley is super-quic- k he can cut extremely fast.
