The halfback was the player with principal passing responsibility in the Michigan offense of the late 1940s and early 1950s. Eaddy dropped football after his freshman year. He later recalled: "First of all, I was too small to mess around with those big fellows, being a 160-pound halfback. And, secondly, I preferred to concentrate on baseball and basketball."\n', '
