Vintage 1950 Bowman Football Rookie Card #101 Harry Ulinski RC Washington Redskins Center/Linebacker. Brother of Eddie Ulinski who has played in 4 campaigns for Cleveland Browns.
"After graduating from high school, Harry John Ulinski, served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II from 1943 to 1946. After the war ended, Ulinski attended and played college football at the University of Kentucky under coach Bear Bryant. As a freshman, he shared quarterbacking duties with future Hall of Famer, George Blanda, but then switched to center and linebacker as a sophomore. Harry played in Kentucky's first bowl game, a 24-14 win against Villanova University in the 1947 Great Lakes Bowl. He got married after his junior year, and Bryant revoked his football scholarship. Ulinski considered transferring to Eastern Kentucky University to play basketball, but changed his mind after the marriage rule was rescinded. As team co-captain during his senior year, he led the team to the 1950 Orange Bowl. After graduation, he played in the Chicago College All-Star Game against the Philadelphia Eagles and upset the Eagles, 17-7.
Ulinski was drafted in the 4th round of the 1950 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins. He played center for 2 years before a contract dispute with their owner forced him to go to the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League (CFL) for the 1952 season. After the hiring of Curly Lambeau as head coach, Harry Ulinski rejoined the Redskins in 1953 and played for the franchise for 4 more seasons." (SOURCE: Wikipedia)
