Elvis, The All-American Boy, Proves A Triple Threat Mat At Touch-Football

ELVIS BITES THE DUST

ELVIS RUNS FOR A TOUCHDOWN

MEMPHIS – Elvis (the Pelvis) Presley, teen-agers´ rock and roll idol, fades back and heaves a pass during a sandlot touch football game. It connected for one of the many touchdowns. Presley joined the rough game shortly after lunch and played until dark, taking turn in line and backfield. Though spilled often by crisp blocking, this million dollar entertainment package came through with but a few bruises and contusions – his manager will be happy to hear.

ELVIS SCORES – Dorothy Harmony, (left) the Presleys´ Christmas house guest, switched from the chorus line at a Las Vegas hotel to the sideline at the Dave Wells Community Center yesterday watching Elvis play touch football. Several hundred watched the singer pass, kick and run to a touchdown.
