One of Hirsch s most prized pos sessions, however, is the three- foot gold trophy signifying him as the Most Outstanding All-Mar i the collegiate football team which defeated the Los Angeles Rams in Chicago in 1946. As an outstanding athlete, Hirsch also has proved himself as one of television's finest sports commen tators. His appointment as sports director for Union Oil Company of California brought him to the at tention of television audiences throughout the 11 Western states and Hawaii. He is viewed as a competent, interesting and enter' taming personality who knows what he is talking about when it comes to all sports be it baseball. football, basketball or what-have- you. His talent m dealing with young sters was brought to the attention of President tisenhower, who re cently appointed Hirsch to his Physical Fitness Council, an honor which climaxes a lifetime devoted lo sports and the fun of partiripat ing. Most of his non-working time is spent in youth activities. He is currently a member of lhe Board of Directors of the San Fernando Valley Youth Founda tion, honorary chairman of Los Angeles Beautiful Committee, man ager of a Little League baseball team and until recently Board Member of the First Methodist Church of Burbank. Hirsch was born, reared and educated in Wausau, Wisconsin, which he left to attend the Uni versity of Wisconsin. In 11)42, his first year on Ihe Badger varsity, he was named All-American and won his famous nickname, "Crazy-j legs," which describes his inimit able style of field running on the gridiron. In 1943, he enlisted in the Ma rine Corps and was transferred lo the V-12 program, at the University! of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where; he again made AH-American. That same year, he won four major let ters as halfback on the football team; basketball center, baseball pitcher and broadjumper. He married his childhood sweet heart, Ruth Stahmer, just prior to the 1940 All-Star Game, which net ted him not only the "most out standing" trophy but also a con tract lo play with the professional Chicago Rockets. He climaxed two seasons with the Rockets by sus taining a skull fracture in a game against the Cleveland Browns. Due to the loss of his coordina tion following this accident, Hirsch was loir) he would never be able to play football again. However, he was ready to get into action by IMS when the Los Angeles Rams dangled a contract in front of his eyes. In the interim, he picked up his college degree from Baldwin Wallace in Ohio. Though he went to the Rams as a halfback, Elroy switched over to end and landed on the starting of fensive team. When the Rams won Ihe World's Championship in 1951, Hirsch was named "pro player of the year." set a new National Football League record of 1,4!5 yards gained on passes received, and tied Don Hufson's mark of 17 touchdowns on passes. three first places while Merrill, was winning four Saturday after-; noon on Modoc Field in the an nua! county track meet, however the Hornets emerged the viclors! as they piled up 55 points, garner ing valuable points with several second and third place finishes. .Merrill finished second with 44 points.
