Potter's Jim Schwartz Tabbed Workhorse Fullback at Chadron
Jim Schwartz, a Chadron State fullback for three years, is profiled as a workhorse on offense and defense. The Potter, Nebraska native, a 1954 Potter High School graduate, moved from Nebraska to Chadron after a brief Nebraska stint, served in the Marines, and returned to star for Chadron State while posting strong yardage. He endured a 55 minute game stint and an elbow injury, and was noted for pro club interest. The piece highlights his scoring, perseverance, family tragedy, and popularity on campus.
