Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 567824, member: 289"] One of the early Chicago Bears tough guys was George Trafton, who had played for Rockne at Notre Dame. In one game, he kept running into forearm shivers by an opposing lineman, (this was before facemasks). He asked the guy what he was doing and was told: "That's the Southern California arm block! How do you like it?" On the next play, Trafton dropped back form the line of scrimmage, (essentially becoming the first middle linebacker). At the snap he ran forward and wheeled his right foot into the air, connecting perfectly with the ex-Trojan's chin. After the guy was revived, Trafton walked up to him and said "That's the Notre Dame drop kick. How do you like it?" [/QUOTE]
