His poor eyesight kept him out of WW2.


Amazing to me that WWII was pretty much the reason he became starting tailback. If it wasnt for the war he may have never gotten a chance.

He was a blocking back when WWII came, he didnt get drafted, the guys in front of him were drafted....and he stepped in.

Crazy how things happen.

Correct me if I am wrong on this but I think this is what happened??
