1945 Heisman Winner Doc Blanchard Dies: Felix "Doc" Blanchard, a fullback who led Army to consecutive national titles in 1944-45 and won the Heisman Trophy as a junior, has died at age 84 after a short illness. After his Notre Dame team played Army in 1944, coach coach Ed McKeever said, "I've just seen Superman in the flesh. He wears No. 35 and goes by the name of Blanchard." Blanchard's hometown has an effort underway to honor their hometown son.
