Biggie' Finds
It Difficult to
Quit football

By FRANK BECKMAN

MARSHALL (BIGGIE) GOLD-
BERG, the fellow who dm
quit professional football more
tines than he can remember,
will make his annual visit to
Detroit Thanksgiving Day.
• His appear-
ance here will
be confused
•
mainly to Briggs
Stadium,
where the Chi-
cage Cardinals
will attempt
to scalp the
Detroit Lions
in a •National
League battle.
Beckman This business
o( Marshall's frequent resigna-
tions almost went bankrupt this
season when it appeared that
the Cardinals were finally going
to OK his request.
The two-time All-American
from the University of Pitts-
burgh has been quitting the
game since 1941. (This is his
10th campaign).

Overcome by Urge

BEFORE THE season got un-
derway, he was serving as vice-
president in charge of sales for
the Emerman Machine Corp. of
Chicago. He said he was through
`with football—and that was that.
But then the opening game
approached and the urge to get
back in uniform got the best
of him.
He phoned Pat Harder, Chi-
cago fullback who, incidentally,
is a sales engineer for the
Unit Crane and Shovel Co. of
Milwaukee, a sister organization
of the Emerman concern.
"Do you think the fellows want
me back, Pat?" Marshall asked.
"What do'we want you back
for?" Harder answered. "We're
doing all right. Go ahead and
peddle your machinery."
A few days later, Biggie went
out to watch the boys practice
and suddenly fourid himself in
uniform. He didn't exactly know
how it happened but was plenty
happy.

Understanding Boss

•

NO EXPLAINING had to be
done to his boss, Solly Sherman,
for the latter once played a lot of
football as a University of Chi-
cago quarterback and knew how
Marshall felt.
On the personal side, Gold-
berg is a very serious performer
on the field but a real locker
room entertainer.
He can send his team mates
through all sorts of gyrations
with his ham acting, which in-
cludes a hilarious rendition of
"My Wild Irish Rose."
Once, when asked by Elmer
Angsman if he knew the
"Twelfth Street Rag," Goldberg
replied: ''Where do you think
I bought this coat?"
"Old 99" may not be in the
game for many more years, but
he still has plenty of spark left.
Detroit will probably find that
out Thursday.
