Walter Lee Barnes (January 26, 1918 – January 6, 1998) was an American football offensive lineman in the National Football League for the Philadelphia Eagles. He played college football at Louisiana State University and was an actor in both American and European films. He appeared in several films with John Wayne, Lex Barker and Clint Eastwood. ==Sports career== Barnes earned his nickname of "Piggy" from catching a piglet when a boy.〔http://www.lex-barker.com/index.php?med=scr&lang=eng&menu=barnes〕 Playing football at Parkersburg High School, he was on the unbeaten 1938 team and played in the 1939 North-South Game.〔http://www.dailymail.com/Sports/201006021108〕 Following military service in the United States Army in World War II as a Army Sergeant〔http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=327192〕 he enrolled in Louisiana State University 〔pp.13-14 Didinger, Ray & Lyons, Robert S. ''The Eagles Encyclopedia'' Temple University Press〕 where he became not only a football player but a college weightlifting champion. Following graduation he joined the Philadelphia Eagles football team as a guard before retiring and becoming a coach of football teams of Columbia University and Arizona State University. While playing for the Eagles, Barnes made time to help his alma mater, LSU, by spying on the practices of the University of Oklahoma football team prior to the 1950 Sugar Bowl. After being caught by members of the OU football staff and Biloxi, Mississippi residents, Barnes fled to hide in the house of a former LSU teammate, Elbert Manuel. Both Barnes and Manuel refused OU coach Bud Wilkinson's offer to present themselves for identification to clear their names. In the end, the spying incident would have little to do with the outcome of the game, as the superior OU team handled LSU very easily 35-0.〔http://newsok.com/oklahoma-football-spy-scandal-before-1950-sugar-bowl-angered-the-usually-mild-mannered-bud-wilkinson/article/3918553/?page=1〕 He was inducted into the Coaches' Association Hall in June 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walt Barnes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
