As fullback and blocking back, Ward Cuff helped guide Marquette to the first ever Cotton Bowl game against TCU in 1937.
As a gridder, Cuff 's primary responsibility was opening scoring lanes for his teammates, though he averaged six yards per carry when called upon. A multi-sport star, he was also the university heavyweight boxing champion and school record holder in the javelin.
After his college days, he played pro football, mostly with the N.Y. Giants, where he established himself as one of the best defensive backs and place kickers in the National Football League.
He led the Giants in rushing and scoring and was named on all-league teams at both fullback and halfback. His jersey number, 14, was retired by the pro club.
