Great website! I love how the write ups on yours are right side up! Thanks for taking the trouble to do that - it adds so much value to your display not to have to rotate those. I took the time to read a lot of them, and the back of Roy "Father" Lumpkin's stood out. It mentioned he was a BB (blocking back or blocking half) except when he moved to fullback. That observation was exactly what I saw in the film of the 32 Spartans/Giants game. He played both positions. When he carried the ball, he was lined up as fullback with a hand on the ground, but the snap went directly to him rather than to the tailback Dutch Clark. I don't believe he ever carried when he was lined up at BB - that position was really close to the line of scrimmage. I love when the back of a card (or matchbook in this case) is well done with accurate information. Although I was hoping for the origin of that "Father" nickname - always makes me wonder....
