| Member Biography | |
|
A star fullback and team captain at Pana High School in
Illinois, Warren Amling continued his winning ways while
attending the Ohio State University. The three-year letter-
winner became the Buckeyes' captain in 1946 and was
selected as a first team All-America at two different positions,
as a guard in 1945 and then again at tackle in 1946. On
offense, the 5'11", 197-pound Amling was called "an excellent
technician," because he matched the best blocking techniques
against whatever defense was used. As a defensive guard, his
stamina and body balance made him extremely difficult to
block. His senior year ,Amling was asked by Coach Paul
Bixler to switch to tackle because the team needed help at that
position. Surprising quickness and intelligence overcame size
and he again was a standout. Amling also excelled on
Buckeye basketball teams in 1945, 1946, and 1947. He
played in three NCAA tournaments. After earning a bachelor
of science degree, he graduated with honors from Ohio State's
Veterinary Medicine School. Dr. Amling practiced most of his
career in London, Ohio serving in medical and management
positions with the John Sawyer Company and the Ohio Feed
Lot.
