"Three Gators Charged for Assault!"

Last updated 📅 2025-03-25

1939 - Police arrested, and the court arraigned three University of Florida football players with assault for beating up a fellow Florida student.

The alleged incident occurred on February 3, when the victim was held and treated for a broken leg, among other injuries, at the campus infirmary.

The victim knew what to do, as Hugh Williams is a law student at the school, and went to the authorities.

The hearing in April took the six-person jury less than an hour to come up with a guilty verdict. The men did not play for the Gators again.
