The opponents Dunkirk native and 2018 Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame inductee Clem Worosz faced during his college basketball career at Niagara University included, among others, Jack Twyman, Tom Gola, Tom Heinsohn and a guy by the name of Jim Brown. Yes, THAT Jim Brown, the Syracuse All-American who is recognized as, arguably, the greatest running back in NFL history. To demonstrate Worosz’ athletic ability, a photographer captured an image of the him blocking Brown’s shot during a game at Onondaga County War Memorial in Syracuse in 1956. Brown passed away last Friday at 87.
