Julius would walk out of a hollow near Asbury around 3 miles to catch the school bus. As I recall the school bus ran before football practice was over and Julius would somehow get to and from the pre season practices in August when the buses did not run. When we played football it was before weight rooms so it was hard to measure who was the strongest player. Julius who was generally pretty laid back but would get very enthused before the game. He called me red brick. He would come up to me and say “let’s get fired Up Redbrick “ he would then pound me on the shoulder pads. I have never been hit so hard in my life. I would guess he must have been the strongest player along with Kenny Baker on our team . Julius was a very good player who started on the offensive and defensive line for the 1960 undefeated regular season and state runner up Alderson high team football team. Julius moved to the Baltimore area and worked for Bethlehem steel company. Julius said he knew nothing about being an electrician. But it paid good money so he became an electrician. Julius was a great man, friend and football player. Rest In Peace Julius Eary.”
