Greenville High school in '40-41

It is unlikely that Walker was attending Greenville High School, or any high school in 1940-1941 school year. He would have been 13 at the beginning of that school year, not turning 14 until second semester, making him a year younger than most high school freshmen. Also, Walker was awarded the Heisman in 1948 during his junior year and the Heisman is awarded in December, so that would make Walker's junior year of college be 1948-1949, which would make his freshman year of high school be 1942-1943. He would have had to start high school early and THEN be held back in high school for 2 years or have delayed his college enrollment for 2 years (no mention of WWII service in his bio) for this to be true.

Highland Park High School in Dallas

You guys do know that Highland Park H.S. is not in Dallas? It's in Highland Park, which is a completely separate city with its own municipal government. It's like saying Long Beach is in Los Angeles. Granted, more people have heard of Dallas than of Highland Park, but still. . . . --Michael K Smith^Talk 20:34, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

All-SWC Selection in Baseball

I think it's worth mentioning that along with winning the Heisman in 1948 and lettering in baseball for the Mustangs, Walker also made the All-SWC baseball team as a utility player/outfielder. Neal Farmer has it logged in the appendices of his book on Southwest Conference baseball: Southwest Conference Baseball's Greatest Hits. BZA99 (talk) 00:13, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
