Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Brown Alumni Monthly, Vol. 82: April, 1982
As a member of Tom's 1937 freshman football team, I remember how play 98 be came synonymous with Tom. As we hud died to scrimmage the varsity on bloody Wednesday, Tom would invariably call the first play for the quarterback by saying, Give them something tricky. And we would rush up to the line determined to make this tricky bread and butter play work. Off the old balanced-line single-wing offense, play 98 was a simple pass from cen ter to the fullback, who carried the ball with out any fake directly over the right guard no frills, just brute strength. And we loved the play and we loved Torn.
While his death represents a fremen dous loss to Brown, his family, and his brother, Bill, this inspiring coach and friend will remain alive for a great number of athletes who were privileged to play for him.
