1934

Richard Lee Maegle (born Moegle; September 14, 1934 – July 4, 2021) was an American professional football player who was a halfback in the National Football League (NFL) for the San Francisco 49ers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Dallas Cowboys.

1952

His play was limited in his sophomore season (1952), after he was lost with a hand cut he suffered trying to open a classroom window that was stuck.

1953

In 1953, he teamed up with fullback Dave "Kosse" Johnson (the nation's second leading rusher), to win a share of the Southwest Conference title with the University of Texas, while registering 833 rushing yards with a 7.3-yard average, which led the nation.

1954

Moegle attended Taylor High School, where he played football and basketball.

He accepted a scholarship from Rice University and attended as a 16-year-old freshman.

In the 1954 Cotton Bowl Classic against Alabama, Moegle was involved in one of college football's most famous plays.

With Rice leading 7–6, Moegle broke through on a sweep from Rice's five-yard line, and was running down the sideline in front of Alabama's bench on his way to a touchdown.

Alabama's Tommy Lewis, without putting on his helmet, jumped off the bench and tackled Moegle.

Seeing what happened, referee Cliff Shaw awarded a 95-yard touchdown on the play, and Rice went on to win the game 28–6.

1955

Moegle was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the first round (10th overall) of the 1955 NFL Draft.

1962
