Former Kansas Star Says Knee Feels Fine
LARNED—(UPI) — Harold Fatterson, the workhorse of the Montreal Alouettes despite a series of injuries, believes he can play three more sessions, if his repaired left knee withstands football as well as the rigors of basketball.
"Look, I'm not even wearing a brace on it, and it's holding up fine," he said recently after a session of basketball in a gym near his home here.
Patterson, a former Kansas star who has spent six seasons as an end and defensive halfback with the Canadian League football team, said he is optimistic about his future after having a torn cartilage removed from the knee last October. He will report to Montreal's training camp July 2.
"If there was any question about my knee not holding up this year, I wouldn't even attempt playing again," he said. "But my doctors in Montreal gave me the okay when I went up for a checkup last march.

Patterson missed half of the season last year because of the operation. After Dr. James Shannon removed the cartilage in Montreal, he came to Larned where he works in the construction business with his father.
1 want to play three more seasons, including this one. Nine seasons will be enough for me, if I'm not punchy by then."
"I started playing basketball about three months after the operation," he said. "I had a little trouble with it at first, but it hasn't bothered me a bit since then."
"I'm sure I'm through with the trouble I've had with it. If I'm not, I'm through, too. I guess."
Patterson, named the outstanding player in Canada in 1956, first injured the knee in a game against Toronto in 1958. The injury hampered him throughout the rest of the season, but he managed to lead the conference in pass receiving for the third straight year and also led in scoring.
"When I first injured it, they thought I had just pulled a ligament or something," he said. "They didn't realize it was a torn cartilage until they opened it up in October."
Patterson, 28, said he hopes to play only half as much next season under Montreal's new coach, Perry Moss, who replaced Doug (Peahead) Walker.
"I don't know which way I'll be
used," he said, "but I think it will be on offense. I hope I won't have to play both offense and defense this year, but I will if I have to."
Patterson was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League after his graduation from Kansas in 1954, but he elected to play for Montreal instead.
"I went to Canada for two reasons," he said. "The style of play up there is more to my benefit, and Philadelphia had three top-notch ends at that time, anyway."
