    APBA Great Teams of the Past Football Season Card Set Volume 1 The following players comprise the Great team of the Past Vol. 1 APBA Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. 1942 CHICAGO 1950 CLEVELAND 1962 GREEN BAY 1968 BALTIMORE OFFENSE OFFENSE OFFENSE OFFENSE Wide Receiver: John Siegel Wide Receiver: Mac Speedie Wide Receiver: Boyd Dowler PA Wide Receiver: Willie Richardson George Wilson Dante Lavelli Max McGee PB Jimmy Orr Hampton Pool Horace Gillom OC PA Gary Barnes Alex Hawkins Connie Mack Berry George Young Tackle: Bob Skoronski Ray Perkins Bob Nowaskey Tackle: Lou Groza KA KOA Forrest Gregg Gail Cogdill Clint Wager Lou Rymkus OC Norm Masters Tackle: Bob Vogel Tackle: Ed Kolman Chubby Gregg KB KOB Guard: Fuzzy Thurston Sam Ball Lee Artoe KB KOB John Sanusky Jerry Kramer KA KOA John Williams Joe Stydahar KB KOB John Kissell Ed Blaine Guard: Glenn Ressler Bill Hempel Guard: Weldon Humble Center: Jim Ringo Dan Sullivan Al Hoptowit Lin
