Comments

• I made a change to how his birthdate discrepancy is written, just fyi
• By "two-way", are we talking about offense and defense? Could be made clearer and/or linked to two-way player
• year, but thought that he comma isn't needed
• and scoring another two himself "scored" instead of "scoring"
• of the National Football League just "NFL" is fine
• After one game, against the Boston Redskins,-->After a game against the Boston Redskins,
• Link "defense" to Arms industry.
• He battled cancer in his last years-->He was sick with cancer in his last years
• So with his obituary clearly stating his age at his time of death, I think we can just remove all mention of 1913 or 1914, right? Just erroneous information at this point.
• References:
  • All are reliable for what is being cited
  • All are consistently formatted
  • Spot checks: 2, 5, 9, 13, 20, 23
