Ohio State's 'Hopalong' Cassadv Wins Heisman Trophy
COLUMBUS. Ohio —(U.S.)—The sports world will pay tribute Dec. 8 to red-haired Howard "Hopalong" Cassady, Ohio State's two-time all-America halfback who yesterday was the overwhelming choice for one of college football's top individual awards, the Heisman Trophy.
The 21-year-old Columbus native, who led the Buckeyes to their second straight Big Ten championship this season, won the award with 2,219 points, the greatest majority in the 21-year history of the trophy.
He polled 594 first-place votes in the balloting of 1,324 sportswriters and sportscasters from all over the nation. Selection of the fleet-footed 175-pound half-back was announced in the office of Ohio State University President Howard Bevis.
Cassady was present but had no knowledge of why he had been called to Bevis' office.
Presentation Dec. 8
He will be presented the 21st Heisman Trophy on Dec. 8 at the annual dinner of the Downtown
Athletic Club of New York which conducts the poll.
-All-America back Jim Swink of Texas Christiam was second in the balloting but far behind in points with only 742. Quarterback George Welsh of Navy was third with 383 points.
Ohio Gov. Frank J. Lausche joined with Buckeye Coach Woody Hayes in paying tribute to Cassady at the time of the announcement. Gov. Lausche expressed "felicitations" to Cassady "on behalf of the people of Ohio and for many
things." He told Cassady, "You never said, 'I can't.'"
Mr. Spectacular
Cassady, whose game-breaking tactics earned him the nickname of "Mr. Spectacular," scored 37 touchdowns during his four-year collegiate career for 222 points. His total topped that of any player in Ohio State history including that of the immortal Chic Harley.
The Buckeye speedster gained 2,466 yards on 435 rushing plays, returned 41 kickoffs for 943 yards and 35 punts for 341 yards. He
caught 43 passes for 619 yards, intercepted 10 passes which he returned 229 yards and completed three of 14 passes for 64 yards.
The most personal fouls made by one team in one game in the Big Seven pre-season tournament was 38 by Oklahoma against Kansas in 1953.
The most points scored in a single Big Seven pre-season tournament was 103 by Stanford against Iowa State in 1951 in an overtime.
