Biography
A native of Augusta,[7] Pund was captain of the national champion 1928 Golden Tornado. "I sat at Grant Field and saw a magnificent Notre Dame team suddenly recoil before the furious pounding of one man–Pund, center," said legendary coach Knute Rockne. "Nobody could stop him. I counted 20 scoring plays that this man ruined."[2][8] After the 1929 Rose Bowl, Pund called "Wrong way" Roy Riegels "the best center I have played against all year. He's a battler, and he never quit."[9]
Pund died September 17, 1987, in Darien, Connecticut. He was cremated. There is a marker for him at Magnolia Cemetery in Atlanta, Georgia.[10]
