[QUOTE="mistaben, post: 200645, member: 248"] Mah Ole Dad was friends with Joe Westbrook (first row, third from right; both are now deceased). There was a reunion of the Rose Bowl Players in Atlanta - for the 5oth or 60th anniversary as I recall - and one of the parties was at my parents home. Some of the players from Cal were there - including Riegels. And my dad had a prized set highball glasses that displayed the scores from Tech's championship seasons including 1928. After the party one of the glasses was missing. Westbrook advised Dad that Riegels was the culprit. But, while he may have been a thief, everyone thought he was a pretty good guy. To see how the run haunted him throughout his life, scroll down to the "Aftermath" paragraph here: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Riegels[/URL] Best line: "When presented his membership card into the Georgia Tech Lettermen's Club 42 years later, Riegels quipped, "Believe me, I feel I've earned this.""
