In another thread about NFL All-Pro Crusaders with the selection of Kalif Raymond, Johnny Grigas' name came up. Since I happen to have a copy of the 1943 Purple Patcher (my uncle's graduation year), here is Grigas' senior picture and the one-pager about the great 55-12 upset over BC. Grigas not only ran for a TD, he threw a 15 yard TD pass. (Edit: shoot! apparently the one-page BC game is "too large", will try again another way)
I was fortunate enough to have met that year's team captain, Ed Murphy, once on the way into an HC-Harvard football game. Ed's grandson and son of my Classmate, was playing for Harvard and Capt. Ed had on both HC and Harvard garb. Outsanding gentleman.
