Ernie Caddel, Jr., former Stanford University halfback now with the Detroit Lions, was known as the "blond Antelope," because of his speed and peculiar loping gait. In 1931 he came East with Stanford to play against Dartmouth in the Harvard stadium, and on second play of the game, swung wide around right end for an 80 yard touchdown, in which no Dartmouth man laid a hand on him. He scored three touchdowns, all on long runs, that day and Eastern college coaches, who were in attendance, voted his the best individual performance of the year.
Jack is the unofficial captain of the Lions' defending halfbacks, as his standing as top man in interceptions last year will attest. Jack, who was a track star when he attended Colorado A&M, is one of the fastest men in the league.
The Lions finished up the 1962 season with a solid 11-3 record. Ordinarily that sort of a win-loss mark is good enough to cop the division title, but the Motor City men had the Green Bay Packers to contend with.
