Temple University Press' The Eagles Encyclopedia (2005) by Ray Didinger and Robert Lyons was quoted in a New York Times piece on Pete Pihos, one of pro football's first great pass-catching tight ends, who died this week at age 87. The Philadelphia Eagles selected Pihos in the fifth round of the 1945 draft knowing he would not be able to join them until he finished his military service. "I can wait for a player like Pihos," said Philadelphia's coach, Greasy Neale.
