Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph caption dated September 8, 1956 reads "Los Angeles' pro football forces became a fearsome array last night when they routed the Chicago Cardinals, 69 to 21, in some wild scoring such as is shown here at the Coliseum. On the left, swift Ron Walker (27) scores the first of 10 Rams touchdowns as the home club played like it owned the Chicago end zone. The halfback star just took hold of the ball and plain ran away from the defenders. Ram quarterback Bill Wade (pictured), in picture at right, canters over for the fourth Ram touchdown after bootlegging the ball so well no Cardinals got there to bother him."
