He also led the S ilvertips in k ic k o ff returns and p o in ts-a fter-tou chd ow n and was second in punt returns and pass receiving. "The Little P enquin" missed most o f three gam es because o f in ju ry last season, b u t w as a g ia n t a t 5 ' 6 " and 166 pounds. If he holds to g e th e r this season should be the league's best running back. S lip p e ry and p o w e r ful a t running, Dick lost y a rd a g e o n ly tw ice in 86 carries . . . losing 10 yards.
