Default Family History- H.B. Blanche Martin- MSU

I have seen a lot of great historical posts on the chat Board. This is my father's fleer football card when he played for the NY Titans. He had a short lived Pro career as he injured his knee, he was a scout for a few years before entering dental school.



Height: 6' Weight: 195 Age: 23
Hometown: River Rouge, Michigan
College: Michigan State

Blanche is one of those outstandng backs who can do everything well. While attending Michigan State, he averaged 5.28 yards in 1957, caught 6 passes for 80 yards, returned 9 punts for 119 yards, returned six kickoffs for 176 yeards, made 16 punts for 34.4 yard average and scored 42 points. With such a record, it is easy to understand why he was named All-Big Ten and selected for the All-America Scholastic team for 1957, 58 and 59
