RIGGS LIBRARY THE LIBRARY AND THE ALUMNI By PHILLIPS TEMPLE, Librarian The photograph of the South Pavilion of the Healy Building on this page will recall Hilltop memories to any Georgetown man.

It is true that the Potomac bluestone that makes up the building shown ·in the picture is a fabu­ lously durable kind of granite and will probably be here a long while; even the gargoyles and pro­ jections that adorn the towers, the corbel table that enhances the facade, the oval tracery of the of Libraries and now recently returned to our staff windows remain unchipped and intact, as in the as Consultant in Rare Books, culled many of the 'SO's when they were put there.

  • Giant of a Man: Jack Lummus
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 9, No. 5 (1987) GIANT OF A MAN: JACK LUMMUS By John Gunn Reprinted from the Orange County Register, July 27, 1986 The Marine Corps lieutenant, after relentlessly leading his platoon against Japanese positions on Iwo Jima for two days and nights and almost single-handedly wiping out three fortifications, stepped on a land mine just before the unit reached its objective in the bitter World War II campaign. His legs were blown off. But after Lt. Jack Lummus, 29, of the 27th Marine Division, was carried on a stretcher to an aid station, he told a surprised surgeon, "I guess the New York Giants have lost the services of a damn good end." His stamina enabled him to remain conscious and he raised himself briefly on an elbow. Through the ordeal, he often smiled. But despite the transfusion of 18 pints of blood, he died from the land-mine blast and earlier wounds on D plus 17 (17 days after D-Day), March 8, 1945. He was among the 1,101 Marine officers and 22,056 enlisted personnel killed or wounded in capturing the 7-square-mile, pork-chop- shaped island and its 1,500 caves and 30 miles of tunnels. "His dauntless leadership and unwavering devotion to duty throughout sustain and enhance the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life in the service of his country," said the Medal of Honor citation signed by President Truman. From such accounts are legends born. But Lummus, an end with the Eastern Division champion New York Giants of 1941 and one of two National Football League players to win the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest award for heroism, largely had been forgotten.

  • Al Blozis: Jersey City Giant
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 8, No. 6 (1986) AL BLOZIS: JERSEY CITY GIANT By Victor Mastro, Frank Alkyer, and others You can't help but notice in Jersey City. There's the Al Blozis Hospital, the Al Blozis Little League, Blozis Hall, a senior citizen's apartment house, and several other memorials. If you didn't know, you might think Blozis was a wealthy philanthropist. Instead, he was a rugged football player. And a legitimate American hero. Al died over forty years ago while serving his country. His grave in St. Avold Cemetary in France is marked by a plain white cross. The simple inscription reads "Alfred C. Blozis 2 lt 110 inf 28 div New Jersey Jan 31 1945." Similar crosses stand over the graves of thousands of Allied soldiers who died in World War II, and America recalls their sacrifice each Memorial Day. In Jersey City, they still remember Al Blozis daily. Of the 638 National Football League players who served in World War II, 355 were commissioned as officers, 66 were decorated, and 21 lost their lives. "Blozis died during the battle of Black Mountain, near Colmar (France)," said Joseph Scott, who served in the same regiment as Blozis and now is president of Hudson County (New Jersey) Community College. Scott said he knew Blozis was in his regiment, but they never saw each other. "It (the fighting) was pretty fierce for a couple of days, considering it was cleanup duty. The war was practically over by that time." On January 31, six weeks after he'd played in the 1944 NFL championship game, Lt.

THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER OUTSTANDING YEAR! How Many Jersey Numbers of Heisman Trophy Winners Can You Name? 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.

By AL LESAR SOUTH BEND - Memories can't be archived and put on display. Artifacts don't give a true indication of the impact that can happen over 17 years. That's why Kent Stephens is out of his element today. "I still remember the first night we opened (Aug. 25, 1995). It seems like yesterday," said Stephens, historian and curator at the College Football Hall of Fame since its arrival in South Bend. "It was amazing. The gridiron (in front of the hall) was filled with people. It was beyond my wildest dreams. "The time has gone by so fast. It's been a blur." Sometime this afternoon, the blur will come to a screeching halt.

  • The Least-Remembered Championship
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 8, No. 6 (1986) THE LEAST-REMEMBERED CHAMPIONSHIP By Bob Carroll Mostly it was the war. Patton was doing his end-run through Europe, the Marines were plunging across the Pacific,andlong bombs were what the Air Force dropped on Berlin and Tokyo. Football – even a championship game – didn’t seem all that important to most Americans. A diversion. No more. Moreover, many of the stars who might have lifted the 1944 NFL Championship Game out of the commonplace were wearing khaki. That made it hard to gauge the Packers and Giants. How would they have fared against some of the pre-war powerhouses? Not too well, most people agreed. Even the pairing was pedestrian. Baseball had been lucky. 1944 was the year the St. Louis Browns won a pennent, lending an aura of the unusual – even the bizarre – to the World Series. But the Packers and Giants? That was old news. The championship game ALWAYS had the Bears or Redskins or Packers or Giants. Was it an NFL rule? Four decades later, it takes a good trivia expert to recall which teams played in 1944. If he can remember who won, he gets an orange wedge. It's a shame really. The teams were actually pretty good, despite the loss of so many players to the military. The Packers had Hutson, of course. Irv Comp, the passer, was no Cecil Isbell but he could get the job done. Ted Fritsch made a first-rate fullback and Lou Brock could scamper. The line had big Baby Ray, Buckets Goldenberg, Charley Brock, and Larry Craig.
