Timeline
Frederick Owen "Dippy" Evans Jr. (May 23, 1921 – June 21, 2007) was a professional American football halfback who played for three years in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) and the National Football League (NFL) in the late 1940s.
He went to the University of Notre Dame and played halfback and fullback on the school's football team starting in 1940.
Evans attended the University of Notre Dame, where he played at left halfback for the school's football team starting as a sophomore in 1940.
He moved to fullback the following year, when Notre Dame went undefeated under coach Frank Leahy.
Evans led the team in rushing yards and scoring in 1941.
Evans was considered shy but tough.
Before a game against the University of Southern California (USC) in 1941, Bill Riordan, a teammate, poured a bucket of water over Evans's head.
Evans tried to retaliate but crashed into a wall and split his knee open.
He concealed the injury from Leahy and played in the USC game, but needed 11 stitches afterward.
After graduating in 1942, Evans was drafted by the Chicago Bears of the National Football League.
His professional football career, however, was delayed by service in World War II.
Evans signed up for the United States Army Air Corps and flew P-51 Mustangs with the Flying Tigers, a unit that defended China against Japanese incursion during the war.
While in the air corps, Evans played for the Randolph Field Ramblers, a military team at Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.
Randolph won the national service title in 1944, when Evans was on the team.
After graduating from college, Evans joined the United States Army Air Corps during World War II, where he stayed until his discharge in 1945.

In 1945, Evans became the fourth player signed by the Cleveland Browns, a team under formation in the new All-America Football Conference, which was to start play in 1946.
Evans was the first player to score points for the Browns in their inaugural exhibition game on August 30 against the Brooklyn Dodgers at the Akron Rubber Bowl.
He scored a touchdown on a seven-yard pass from quarterback Cliff Lewis; he later intercepted a pass and returned it 83 yards for another touchdown.
Later in the season, Evans twisted his knee and was sidelined for more than a month.
The Browns went on to win the first AAFC championship in 1946.
He subsequently played for the Buffalo Bills, the Chicago Bears and the Chicago Rockets in 1947 and 1948.
