INJURY KEEPS
OERRICOTE FROM
ALL STAR CAME
BY VERNON JERRICTT
j CHICAGO -
I A. chock last Friday with All
St.ar executive Frank Norris re
! venlert that Gene Derrirotc will not.
[play in the 801 l one All-Star gume
! In re it Soldiers Field.
■ Halfback (line Derricote, (treat
; Michigan speedster, is being bound
|ed by that injtuy jinx. It came
From nowhere ami tackled him
I-train during: his first practice
week with the Cleveland Browns
of rim All-America conference
i The Michigan great was hurt
iduring tt passing drill. He simply
i went out for a pass, made a sharp
runt, and ended up in the hospital.
The sudden change of race did
j something to Gene's knee that
Cleveland doctors are sti'.l trying
to find more about.
The injury jinx has chafed Der
ricote since 1944. when Ik went out
for the freshman team and was
.felled bv a suratne-ri ankle. He re
turned from the service in time t>
ioiti the 19946 team and receive a
. iwokiM! nose. The nose injury shunt
*. (1 him into the safety position
Last season a bad knee kept him
out of action for weeks and pre
-1 nted Chuck Oti.mnim with 'he
offensive left halfback job And ot
the fiis.i day of the year, Derrl
iyte was nmmtng ail over the field
in th- FaM West New Year's day
<•!•■ ■ *ic but w;u' suddenly halted by
the treacherous knee ailment.
Since Gene will not have to play
in Urn AH Star game, he may have
time to effect a cure for tlie* knee
injury before the All-American con
ference season gets into full swing
Tin Browns sent Mai Shcean, Mis
souri end. to the All-Stars iu place
i t Derricote. The c-dlega boys stilt
have- more backs than they will
tieed. according to Norris
T lie Derricotte replacement
i eaves only one Negro with the
All-Stars George Talliferro of
Indiana.
Cle i i land Coach l*aui Brown
among the chief mourners o\<'r the
Derricotte mishap He had planned
to iisa the Diu-pounder on both of
fense and defense. Brown indicated
that Derricotte will he used in de
fense. only, should he recover. The
•,agey coach pointed out that i
man has to be tough and "durable”
