"This man is Ward Cuff, who was an assistant football coach at OSU at one time. I would guess the years were 1952-1954. Before coming to OSU, he was a professional football star with the New York Giants, and was a graduate of Marquette University. He coached here under Kip Taylor. Now he lives in Seattle, and at last report was with the Boeing Company."
