Wednesday, November 19, 2003 Kazmaier last Ivy Leaguer to win Heisman By Larry Schwartz Special to ESPN.com Dec. 4, 1951 After leading the nation in total offense, Dick Kazmaier, Princeton's brilliant tailback in the single wing, is the last Ivy Leaguer to win the Heisman Trophy. The 21-year-old, 171-pound senior is a runaway winner at the ballot box, getting more votes than the next six players in the voting combined. Kazmaier accounted for 1,827 total yards - 861 on the ground and 966 in the air - as he led Princeton to its second consecutive unbeaten season and Ivy League championship. The trainer at Princeton will not allow any athlete to wear Kazmaier's No. 42 until Bill Bradley plays basketball at the university in the '60s.
