Description

Al Malanca, wearing his Lincoln Abes letterman's jacket, switched from halfback to quarterback and the Abes became explosive offensively in their pass-run attack. Lincoln outscored opponents 242-13 and went undefeated. Bobby “Twinkletoes” McGuire and Dean Mellor played halfback and sparked the Abes. Lincoln coach Phil Sorboe called his backfield “the best he'd ever coached or seen.”
