in the South and Southwest, but it neglected
to get any outstanding players to play at
Tuffy's side. Leemans, therefore, was an
honest to- goodness one-man team and, no
matter what might all him the day of the
game. he couldn't be spared. There was no
body else to do the passing, or the kicking, or
the running.
Despite this double ENHANCEMENT of gauze
and inept teammates, Leemans was the indi-
vidual star of every college game he played
even though he was tossed in against such
teams as Alabama's Rose Bowl champions,
Tennessee Southern titleholders Rice's
Southwest rulers and Huey Longs Louisiana
State University. Each of these clubs had one
or more much-publicized All-Americas. And
yet Tuffy, who wasn't picked on the All
Americas - wasn't even named on the third
team - ran circles around them.
Now, every time he gains hard-earned
yard on National Football League grdirons,
Leemans further tramples the tradition of
picking All-Americas, trampling he started
Immediately his college days were behind him.
Evening star., 1940-11-10

Vast December, four days before their big
game with the Washington Redskins to
- decide the Eastern professional football
championship, the New York Giants sadly
announced that their star halfback, Tuffy
Leemans, wouldn't be able to play because of
a vicious cleat wound in his right leg. There
was even considerable doubt that he would be
able to walk within two weeks.
As soon as this dreary bulletin reached
Broadway, the odds-makers hastily installed
the Redskins as 9-to-5 favorites. Thus did
they show their knowledge of and apprecia-
ton for Leenlans's ability - but at the same
time, revealed their utter ignorance of his
durability.
Came Sunday, and Leemans, his leg swathed
in gauze, not only was definitely in the Giants
backfeld but, quite frequently in the Redskin
backheld, too. The Giants won, 9 to 7. Tuffy
was devastating on defense. Twice he inter
cepted touchdown passes. He shared one
right in the end zone, snatching it just before
it touched the outstretched hands of Redskin
End Wayne Millner. The other he bundled to
