His teams won the Rose Bowl in 1932 against Tulane University when Pinckert, assisted by blocking back Jerry Spann, pulled off a pair of double reverses that produced touchdown runs and in 1930 against the University of Pittsburgh. Pinckert was All-American after the 1930 and 1931 seasons. He was voted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1957.[2] Tommy Trojan, officially known as the Trojan Shrine was based on a variety of USC football players, including Russ Saunders and Ernie Pinckert. The lower half in particular is based on Ernie Pinckert.[3]
