The history of this stalwart goes back to the fall of 1947. That year he- tried for a halfback __Pposition and came out with a sprained ankle. .

WELL, this year I (yes, I'm the gridder) tried again. There was a rumor going around that the ° center position was wide open. In some quarters, _you- know, football strategists believe the center is almost-as important as the quarterback. In others he is more important because he is the man who puts the ball in motion. The center is the first man to get his mitts on the ball.

The next time Charlie laid eyes on ol’ No. 25, it was too late. - The perennial was headed check with the other coaches. out the door.
