Didn’t his Dad basically sign for him?
Who is the RB from Oklahoma that played at Stanford? A major coup. Apparently not a beer guy. He preferred…..

A bit of a trick question since Oregon State was an independent the year Baker won the JohnHeisman Award. I suspect he won the UPI award as well that year.
Add Charles White the year he won the JohnHeisman.

Charles White is right White’s son make a great catch little League Western Region major league to beat Sunnyvale National and send White’s team to the World Series

Following up on the PAC-12 history….
From 1959-1961, the AAWU (successor to the Pacific Coast Conference) was comprised of Stanford, Cal, USC, UCLA and UW. In 1962, WSU was admitted and, in 1964, UO and OSU were admitted thus forming the PAC-8 Conference.
Trivia Question - which are the only two schools that have been continuous members of the conference since its founding in 1916?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 -

Not Ricky Bell
Hint John Madden

That appears to be correct, though both were kicked out of the original PCC for a pay for play scandal, along with USC and UCLA. Old habits die hard. . . . .

Who knew our conference was once known as the Big Five and later the Big Six. . . .Larry should have sued the Big 10 and the Big 12 for trademark infringement.
