Transcript | 1954 HOUSTON lAN'S FOOTBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR BUDDY GILLIOZ The 1953 football season opened up as a season of doubt for many football stars. For this was the year when players who had played only offense or defense were expected 1o play both. At the close of the season, many familiar All-America and All-Conference names were forgotten. But not so with the name of Buddy Gillioz. Strictly a defensive player for two years, Buddy showed his ability at all phases of the game by taking to offense with uncanny rapidity. Aside from being elected a Co-Captain by his teammates, he was nominated to the AII-MVC team for the second straight year and was honored by being chosen to play in the annual Blue-Gray game. He is also considered to be one of the top professional prospects in the country. His 235 pounds is a sizable percentage of the weight of the entire populace of his home town of Arcadia, Texas, but he moves with amazing speed and agility. His name was never found in the headlines, but he was an important part of the team's unity and competence as was noticeable when he was not in the game. 166 |
