# Burt Grossman Height/Weight: 6’3″/244 lbs 1956 Earned 4th Letter in Track; Lost in Shot Put again to Georgia Tech’s |
DT/K | ^Although not invited to 1956 Olympic Trials for Shot Put, Grossman’s contributions to the breakthrough success of UM’s Track & Field Team shouldn’t be overlooked. Along with Earl Welbaum (middle distance runner), Bill Bennett (high & low hurdles), and football-playing sprinters Jack Losch, John Bookman & Jack Johnson, Grossman helped establish the seriousness of Miami’s Track Program. (Gordon Malloy and Whitey Rouviere were also UM Trackmen in ’50s; all listed here are in UM’s HOF except Grossman and Bookman.) Shot Put Trials: 1. Parry O’Brien (1952 Olympic Gold Medalist, 60’9.75″), 2. Manhattan College’s Ken Bantum (NCAA & AAU Champ, 59’6.5″), 3. Billy Nieder (1st to 60′ in both HS & College, 58’1″). Olympic Finishes: O’Brien, Gold and Nieder, Silver (Bantum finished 4th). Both O’Brien (USC) and Nieder (Kansas) left football after injuries to concentrate on the Shot Put. Both won medals again in ’60: Nieder-Gold and O’Brien-Silver. Two top College Athletes also putting the shot during this time, Georgia Tech’s Vareen and Penn State’s Rosey Grier, stuck with football, both ending up playing DT in the NFL. |

#32 “Flash” Gordon Malloy^ Height/Weight: 187 lbs Honorary Director: UM Atlanta Hurricane Alumni Club ^Full name is Russell Gordon Malloy, Jr. ^^Died in his sleep on Apr. 1, 2010 at his home |
HB/FB/DB | Detroit Lions (Drafted-DNP) Montreal Alouettes (1955-DNP CFL) On Feb. 25, 1955 (several years before Billy Cannon and the AFL), NFL Commissioner Bert Bell announced that “Montreal got there first and is entitled to (Gordon Malloy).” Malloy had signed a Detroit Lions contract after he originally agreed to play in Canada. Bell said he expected an “end to the feud between American and Canadian professional teams … creating a ceasefire in the expensive player-raids.” Later, after the CFL raided NFL players who were already under option to NFL teams, Commissioner Bell reversed himself and ruled that the Detroit contract with Malloy was valid. The Montreal Alouettes then sued claiming Malloy was already under contract when Detroit stole him away. Ironically, during his first action as a professional, Malloy blew out his knee while making a sharp cut at practice for the Chicago Charities College All-Star Game and didn’t play in that game. Each College All-Star received a small salary (maybe $150 in 1955) to play against the NFL Champs in Chicago (or Evanston) every summer between 1934 & 1976 (except 1974), but the game ended because of “increasing expenses reflected in insurance costs (and) high player salaries.” Due to his injury, Gordon Malloy would never play in either the NFL or CFL, although he later joined the UM football coaching staff. |
