I have a vague memory of a book I read in grade school, 1965ish, that included this Rams great with two or three other players.

I think Doak Walker was one of the other players.

Anyone have a lead on how to find it? Internet searches haven’t been helpful.

Rams+Bull Elephant Backfield
The "Bull Elephant" backfield were the American football running backs of the 1950s Los Angeles Rams. The Three Running Backs consisted of Dick Hoerner, Paul "Tank" Younger and "Deacon" Dan Towler. This line helped name the 1951 Rams as the fourth best offense in the history of the NFL and the number one best offense in the history of the NFL for the 1950 Rams by Sports Central.[1]

You may be thinking of a book titled "Great Teams of the NFL". One of the chapters was on the 1951 Los Angeles Rams.

Correction, it was "Championship Teams of the NFL". I found a copy listed on eBay.
