Guard
No. 61
Princeton
"Signed as a free agent [in 1974] after an impressive performance in a preseason tryout camp at Fordham, Chandler proved to be a valuable addition in his rookie season. When starter Bob Hyland was injured in the season opener, Chandler stepped right in [at center] alongside rookie guards John Hicks and Tom Mullen and did a solid job. All told, he started four games during the season and appeared in all 14 as a special team player as well.
In 1975, Chandler again appeared in all 14 games, getting plenty of playing time at left guard as well as at center. With that kind of versatility, he continues to be a valuable swingman at two positions.
Chandler earned varsity letters in both football and wrestling at Princeton, playing offensive tackle for the Tigers. In wrestling, Karl had an imposing record, losing only two matches in three years and setting Princeton records for points scored, career.
Karl Victor Chandler was born in Delaware County, Pennsylvania and starred at Newton High School in Newton Square, PA where he still resides. He is a fine handball and squash player, likes to sail and plans on entering the construction engineering business after his football career."
