  • Cliff Battles
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 3 (1996) CLIFF BATTLES Courtesy of the Pro Football Hall of Fame When a modern-day professional athlete threatens to retire "because I can make more money doing something else," the natural tendency is to question the validity of the claim. But there is at least one member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame who did just that. He quit at the absolute peak of his career and he did make more money "on the outside" -- 33 percent more, to be exact. That is the incredible story of Cliff Battles, one of the most brilliant running backs pro football has known. After only six years in the National Football League, 28 years old and in perfect condition and a member of a championship team, Battles quit the Washington Redskins when owner George Preston Marshall refused to raise his salary above $3,000. So Battles became an assistant coach at Columbia University, where he was paid $4,000. In his brief time in the pros, Battles made an indelible impression. He gained 3,622 yards rushing in six years and, up to 1938, no one had ever approached that career total. He had led the league in rushing twice and had been a member of the official all-league team three times, including his last two seasons. In 1937, the Redskins' first year in Washington, Battles had teamed with rookie Sammy Baugh to give the Redskins not only a league title, but one of the most explosive running-passing threats in history. This rare combination should have meant misery for other NFL teams for years to come.
