(D) With Fordham on track to go undefeated in 1936, Tim Cohane, the university's publicist, discovered a newspaper clipping from 1930 paying tribute to Fordham's linemen by calling them the Seven Blocks of Granite. Cohane revived the nickname for the Rams' 1936 and 1937 lines, and it was this second version that gained the greatest renown. Druze, who was known as "Tarzan", was the right end. He was captain of the 1937 team and was also its placekicker. Druze's best-known teammate on the Seven Blocks of Granite was Vince Lombardi, the Pro Football Hall of Fame coach of the Green Bay Packers, who played right guard. But Alex Wojciechowicz, the All-American center and later a Hall of Fame player with the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles, was the star of the Fordham line. He played in the NFL for the Brooklyn Dodgers. We offer a vintage signed 3x5 card.
