...knew that Charley Trippi starred in the 1943 Rose Bowl game after Frankie Sinkwich was injured. He knew that Hughes succeeded Taft as Chief Justice. He recited from Byron's Maid of Athens, Burns's Tarn o'Shanter and Moore's The Time I've Lost in Wooing.

The other is a native Atlantan: Clinton Dillard Castleberry Jr., who is already being dubbed the Red Earth's Red Grange.
