The halfback “Jack Robinson” mention of UCLA is the Jackie Robinson of baseball fame. Very cool.
I wondered about that. Thanks for confirming.
Another football player who seems to be headed for fame is Joe Shell, who plays for the Trojans but hasn’t seen a lot of action this year. He seems to be headed for a career in politics. I predict that Shell and Richard Nixon, who played football for the Whittier Poets and is now a lawyer in the Bank of America building in Whittier will one day run against one another for governor of California.
