But there is one thing I am. I am a free man . . ." Tobey wept...
Perhaps the most familiar jersey on the field today will be number 31, belonging to West. This 203-pound, six-feet fullback alternated with Paul Shafer last season and was the chief contributor to the Crimson's lone victory (over Holy Cross) with his powerful plunges up the middle...
