Flashback: 'Choo Choo' Justice An Electrifying Runner By Michael Richman Posted May 28, 2009 No one will dispute that Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice earned his greatest fame on the gridiron at the University of North Carolina, where he became regarded as one of the premiere halfbacks in college football history and was a two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up. His career with the Washington Redskins was also memorable, although brief. The shifty, elusive runner played four seasons in Washington, in 1950 and from 1952-54. Electrifying at times, he carried the ball 266 times for 1,284 yards, a 4.8 average, with three touchdowns. He also caught 63 passes for 962 yards with seven scores and punted 94 times for a 40.4 average. "The little guy has everything," Earl ’Curly’ Lambeau, the Redskins’ head coach in 1952-53, once said. "He has tremendous take-off speed and all the guts in the world. All he needs is a sliver of daylight, and he’s gone. "If he had a little more speed in the open, he’d be scoring touchdowns from any place on the field." There was something special about Justice from the time he established himself as a triple-threat for his high school team in Asheville, N.C., in the early 1940s. 1 of 3 1/17/2012 9:42 AM Flashback: 'Choo Choo' Justice An Electrifying Runner http://www.redskins.com/cda-web/article-module.htm?id=05FEAA3B-... Charlie Justice at North Carolina (AP Photo) He later opted not to play ball in college, instead enlisting in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Based in the United States, he starred for a great Navy football team out of Bainbridge, Md., and was noticed for the first time by NFL scouts. He turned down an offer to play for the Philadelphia Eagles. Justice got his nickname in the Navy when it was said he ran like a choo-choo train. In 1946, Justice began playing at North Carolina, where he was part of some of the greatest teams in school history. The Tar Heels went 32-7-2 and played in three bowl games in his four-year stay. The 5-10, 170-pounder contributed with his versatility. A back in the old single-wing formation, he rushed for 2,634 yards on 526 carries (5.0 average) with 28 touchdowns; and completed 159 of 321 passes for 2,249 yards with 25 touchdowns and 32 interceptions. He also returned 31 kicks for 826 yards (26.6 average), 68 punts for 966 yards (14.2 average), and punted 231 times with a 42.6 average. Along the way, Justice became a folk hero in North Carolina, as well as a national icon. He was pictured on the cover of Collier’s, Life and Pic, among other national magazines. Bandleader Johnny Long recorded a song about him and Benny Goodman played it on the air. Home crowds chanted, "All the way Choo Choo, all the way." Justice went on to earn most valuable player honors in the 1950 College All-Star game, when his squad upset the NFL champion Eagles, 17-7. He rushed for 133 yards on only 11 carries, scored on a 40-yard pass from future Redskins quarterback Eddie LeBaron, and set up his team’s other touchdown and a field goal with 45- and 33-yard runs. LeBaron played with Justice for two seasons in Washington. "Charlie was a great friend of mine, a good player, a good guy," LeBaron said. "He was a great runner and cut back as well as 2 of 3 1/17/2012 9:42 AM Flashback: 'Choo Choo' Justice An Electrifying Runner http://www.redskins.com/cda-web/article-module.htm?id=05FEAA3B-... anyone I’ve ever seen. He was also a great receiver." The Redskins drafted Justice in the 16th round (200th pick) in 1950, but he decided to forego pro football and work with the North Carolina Medical Association. Redskins owner George Preston Marshall, fascinated with star players from southern schools because of the Redskins strong ties to the southern market at the time, tried to lure Justice to Washington. He joined the Redskins six games into the 1950 season as one of the most publicized college players of that era. Justice led the Redskins in rushing for the rest of the season but sat out the 1951 campaign, serving as an assistant coach at North Carolina. He returned with a bang in 1952, turning in his most memorable performance in a Redskins uniform, ironically, in an exhibition game. Justice captivated a crowd of nearly 90,000 in the Los Angeles Coliseum by rushing for 199 yards on 11 carries (18.1 average), with runs of 46, 65 and 54 yards. But he suffered a broken arm in the third quarter and was of little use to the team for the rest of the season. He bounced back to craft his best season in 1953, rushing 115 times for 616 yards, the fourth-highest mark in the NFL. He also caught 22 passes for 434 yards. One sportswriter called No. 22 a "twisting, whirling dervish" after he ran for 120 yards in a 28-17 win over the Chicago Cardinals. Justice played one more season with the Redskins, rushing 56 times for 254 yards and catching 11 passes for 242 yards. George Preston Marshall honored him with "Charlie Justice Day" before thousands of his fans from North Carolina at halftime of Philadelphia’s 49-21 win over the Redskins at Griffith Stadium, the Redskins old home stadium, on Oct. 17, 1954. After playing on mediocre-to-poor Redskins squads during his four seasons in Washington, Justice retired after the 1954 campaign at age 30. "I like pro ball very much and just wish I could have gotten into it at the age of 22 instead of 27," Justice once said. "It differs a great deal from college football. In school, you play against an average of three or four good players every Saturday, while in this pro game you run up against hand-picked collegiate stars, the best in the business, about 33 of them on every team." Justice passed away on Oct. 17, 2003. A year earlier, he had been named one of the 70 Greatest Redskins as part of the team’s 70th anniversary. Michael Richman is the author of The Redskins Encyclopedia, a 432-page book that spans the 75-year history of the storied franchise. He co-hosts a show on ESPN 840 in Charlottesville, Va., called the “DC Sports Blitz.” His web site is www.redskinshistorian.com.

  • How Andre Gurode Became Cowboys' Most Tenured Veteran | Todd Archer Columns | Spo
    How Andre Gurode became Cowboys' most tenured veteran | Todd Archer Columns | Spo... Page 1 of 2 How Andre Gurode became Cowboys' most tenured veteran 10:49 AM CDT on Friday, May 21, 2010 IRVING – At times, Andre Gurode admits he will look around the Valley Ranch locker room and wonder where the time has gone. He can point across the room to where Emmitt Smith held court. He can look to his right and know that Terence Newman now occupies Darren Woodson’s old locker with a message about the Super Bowl tradition on its back wall. He can look straight ahead and see where Flozell Adams sat for years. Now Gurode is the old man in the room. Not in terms of age or years of NFL service – those go to backup quarterback Jon Kitna (37 and 14 respectively) – but in tenure with the Cowboys. Gurode is entering his eighth season with the Cowboys. “I wouldn’t say it felt like yesterday,” said Gurode, a second round pick in 2002 after Roy Williams and before Antonio Bryant, “but it felt like I just came here a few years ago. I couldn’t imagine going through the stuff I’ve been through and the years and just all of the things it took to get to this point. It’s like, ‘Wow, it’s really been a journey.’” Gurode was Adams’ teammate for eight years, who was once Michael Irvin’s teammate, who played with Everson Walls, who was a Cowboy with Harvey Martin, who played defensive line with Bob Lilly, the Cowboys’ first draft pick in 1961, who came a year after Eddie LeBaron was the quarterback for an 0-11-1 team in the franchise’s first year.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 5 (2004) a SAFETY ANALYSIS
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 5 (2004) A SAFETY ANALYSIS By Gary Selby The Safety: One of football’s rarest scoring plays. The Digest of Rules in the NFL’s Record and Fact Book describes a safety as: “Two points are scored for the opposing team when the ball is dead on or behind a team’s own goal line if the impetus came from a player on that team.” Emphasis on impetus. A fairly straightforward definition. Most fans know a safety when they see one, despite there being numerous types. But when they happen, its like an electric shock. The responses range from “What? So what’s the score now?” to “Better get another beer and some pretzels. This thing’s getting complicated.” But I wanted to look a little deeper. How many safeties have there been in the NFL? What are the types? What is their effect on a game? Can it be measured? I had never seen an analysis of the safety, so I decided to do one myself. My interest was sparked while reviewing files for the PFRA’s Linescore Project. In a 1965 Giants-Cardinals game I saw the following entry for an individual score: StL – Team Safety. Team Safety? Huh? Did the entire Cardinals defense tackle Tucker Fredrickson in his end zone? After a trip to the library revealed the answer, I kept thinking about how devastating a safety can be. You give up possession, give your opponent 2 points, and then you have to punt the ball from your own 20, giving your opponent good, if not excellent, field position.

  • When the Nfl Had Character
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 1 (1995) WHEN THE NFL HAD CHARACTER By Stanley Grosshandler Two generations of football fans have grown up since the 1953 season, part of the decade called "The Golden Age of the NFL." Younger fans today may find it surprising to learn that the NFL was losing star players back then to the draft (remember the draft?) and to the Canadian Football League. The Korean Conflict had siphoned several top men into the service, including Cleveland tackle Bob Gain, the Cardinals great Ollie Matson, and San Francisco's versatile tackle Bob Toneff. Meanwhile, the Canadian Football League made some inroads by luring a handful north of the border. Among the emmigrants were Cleveland's star end Mac Speedie, the Giants' center-tackle Tex Coulter and defensive end Ray Poole, San Francisco defensive back Jim Cason, and an Eagle receiver named Bud Grant who would return a dozen years later as a coach. Although these and several other well-known players missed the 1953 season, the league still continued to grow in popularity -- due in part to the individual aura that made each team special. Teams then had a their own particular character and each had an identifiable leader. They were not the plastic, look-alike teams who strive today for parity (another name for mediocracy) and play for the field goal. Reviewing those rosters of forty years ago can still produce chills among some "veteran" fans. The Cleveland Browns had the confidence and composure of their coach Paul Brown. They did not have to be told they were winners.

  • Ralph Felton
    Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Ralph Felton This article is by Budd Bailey The phrase “There’s no place like home” is part of American culture because of its use as the final line of the classic movie, “The Wizard of Oz.” Ralph “Rass” Felton certainly believed in that principle, based on how he lived his life. The only interruption in his connection to his hometown came because of football. Once that was done, though, Felton went back where he started to live happily ever after. Ralph Dwain Felton was born on May 21, 1932, in the small town of Midway, Pennsylvania. It had 913 people in it in 2010 and was located west of Pittsburgh. This raises the question, Midway is midway of what? It’s the halfway point of a rail line between Pittsburgh and Steubenville, Ohio. Midway once had its own high school. Ralph has to rank second out of two on the list of famous football graduates from the town. Dick Haley, a player (1959-1964) and a front office executive who is considered one of the great talent scouts in the sport’s history, probably gets top billing for fame. But Felton did quite well for himself too. Ralph was part of a good-sized family. Father Harry and Mother Mary Anna – both of whom were born in Midway - had seven children in all. Ralph’s grandfather William was born in England in 1862 and arrived in the United States in 1885. Grandmother Ann took a similar route. Perhaps their families headed to Western Pennsylvania to find work, and stayed there for the rest of their lives.

By John Shearer About four years ago, I wrote a story about the jersey numbers that the Heisman Trophy winners have worn. I decided to write the article after noticing that 2011 Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III of Baylor wore No. 10, and I began wondering which other Heisman Trophy winners wore that number. That started an online search, and I was able to find everyone’s number, or at least a number the player wore during part of his career. I wrote the story in chronological order by year and mentioned the jersey number with each player, but someone emailed me and said he would like to see a story if I ever listed the Heisman Trophy winners in numerical order. After I thought about it, an article written that way would make for a more The College Football Historian-2 - interesting story.
