Leo Draveling

Leo Frank "Firpo" Draveling (June 23, 1907 – July 2, 1955) was an American football player and coach.

An Ohio State player allowed a punt to roll past him thinking it would reach the end zone for a touchback.

The Ohio State player was blocked into the ball, and Draveling gained possession long enough for the officials to rule that he had scored a touchdown.

[5] A newspaper feature story on the 1929 Wolverines said the following about Michigan's ends:"One may search a long time before finding a pair of wingmen to match the ability of Captain Joe Truskowski of Detroit and Leo Draveling.

"[8] Due to injuries, Draveling started only four games for the undefeated 1930 Michigan team that tied for the Big Ten Conference championship.

[11] Draveling finished in top four in his weight class, losing a semifinal match to Fairall, Ohio State's best wrestler, in 8 minutes, 45 seconds.

[19] Draveling died of a heart attack, at age 48, on July 2, 1955, at his home in Columbus Township, Michigan.
