Charles S. White, Jr. was born in San Francisco to Frances and Charles White Sr., on May 9, 1920. He attended St. Anne’s, St. Ignatius, and the University of San Francisco where he played football. White graduated in 1942 in Business. He was a member of Kappa Alpha Phi, Clana Eirrean, and was a 2nd Lieutenant in the Coast Artillery Reserve at USF. After graduation, he served in World War II in the Pacific Theater, reaching the rank of Major. He and his unit were in the first occupying forces in Japan. He was the operating owner of White Lumber Company in San Francisco and Daly City until his retirement in 1993 (MarinIndJournal).
Vic Ramus holds a slight experience nod over the three other candidates:Â Charley White, sophmore Crescini, and Keith Bridwell, at the running half, but he will have to hustle all the way to stay there.
TWO BALANCED BACKFIELDS:Â Tassi will bank on his first unit backfield of Vic Ramus and Harry Muns at the halves, Neill Sheridan at quarter and Billy Russo at fullback, but he will be ready to insert his other group when the going gets tough. This latter backfield finds Johnny Cavalero and Charley White handling the halves, Hal Johnston at the key spot and massive Fred Shew in the fullback post. Ramus and Shew will handle the punting end, and Sheridan and Johnston will take care of the passing department (TheFoghorn).
