Unless I have a flaw somewhere (wouldn't be the first time) I believe I have completed the seven missing rows from the 1957 Topps Football set. I found a miscut Bill Forester showing a sliver of the card to its left, which has to be either Perry Jeter, Johnny Olszewski, or Jim Patton. The border line of the bottom of the cartoon on the miscut Forester has a unique flaw where the black line gets very thin in two spots towards the left, I compared it to the black line on Jeter, Olszewski, and Patton, and it is a perfect match with Patton. That puts the five card run of Forester-Rogel-Womble-Bassett-B Wilson into C4-C8 of the Stonesifer row, Jeter in C9 of the Stonesifer row, and the five card run of Boyd-Gifford-Howton-Butler-Ameche into C4-C8 of the Retzlaff row.
