LIFE Magazine at the 1960 Cotton Bowl: ‘Battle of the Hard-Noses’

That's Maury Youmans #78, he co-authored '59 with his brother Gary. Maury was my 5th grade 6-man football coach at Salem Hyde. He got tickets for our whole team to attend a game in which Jim Brown played. They took us down to the tunnel to see the players leave the field. My friend Vito grabbed Jim Brown's chin strap and took off like the devil.

To Youmans left is Rocco Pirro, great guy, he used to work at the Solvay-Geddes Youth Center and watched over my kids. Nice picture of Ernie & Coach Ben.
