A Rose Bowl hero who earned first-team All-America recognition on California’s 1937 football team that posted a 10-0-1 record … multi-faceted athlete who also twice lettered on the Cal tennis squad … named to the Pacific Coast Conference and All-Coast first teams as a two-way player … perhaps his finest moment came in the 1938 Rose Bowl, when he caused an Alabama fumble by hitting the Crimson Tide’s punt returner so hard the ball fell loose … the play set up the Golden Bears’ first touchdown in a 13-0 victory in Pasadena … went on to play football professionally with the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1938-42.
