FAMOUS QUOTES from Larry Ely

Our linemen did a fine job up front. Yes we had some good hitting today. We popped Gonso, Isenbarger and Butcher with hard tackles that forced them out of the game for a while. I as in on the one that knocked Isenbarger out with a hip-pointer. How do I know he had a hip-pointer? Because I came charging in a really speared him with my helmet on the left hip. Okay, I tackled him on his left hip.
...from Iowa vs. Indiana on 11/8/1969 - Ely talking about one tackle he made in the game. He was quickly corrected on his language by someone near by.
