On a lighter note, I really enjoy seeing these players we collect in action - one of the nice things about the 30s to me is that at least some film exists - if you want to see Jim Thorpe or Tony Latone, etc., etc. - I think you’re pretty much out of luck. I actually pulled an SI Vault article where Paul Zimmerman talks about film of Clarke Hinkle going up against Nagurski - I’d love to see that - I’ve never found even a single play of Hinkle. And in Chris Willis’s bio of Dutch Clark, he mentions 4 films - I’ve seen one, but would love to see the other three…
Anyway, I’ve got one more clip which highlights our other Dixie Lid premium star - Mr Baugh.

How many QBs (well TBs technically) came up to make plays in run support - against Nagurski no less! (Sure, it was a 9 yard gain for Nags, but still). And passing, he was 18-33 with 354 yards and 3 TDs in this 37 championship game win over the Bears (28-21). That’s a heckuva game - I’d give him 2 rings for this one.
