  ESPN.com - Slowly but surely, Dudley finds SEC spotlight   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
On the day she found out Erwin Dudley had been named Southeastern Conference Player of the Year, Alabama associate media relations director Becky Hopf located the big man in the Crimson Tide training room to tell him the news.
When you're not hearing how valuable Dudley is to the defending SEC regular-season champions, you're hearing how much he eats or how much he enjoys wrestling around with teammates and anyone else within arm's reach.
Dudley was an AAU teammate of Rod Grizzard's and Marvin Stone's with the fairly infamous Alabama Lasers, a team that became one of Nike's pets because of Stone's prodigious potential.

The 1946 season was, for Dudley, one for the record book; as he led the league in rushing, punt returns, interceptions, and lateral passes attempted.

 About the Dudley Diamond: Star of South Africa
They purchased the stone for pound 11,200, and christened it the "Star of South Africa," forwarded it to England, and it ultimately became the property of the Countess of Dudley, who purchased it of Messrs.
In the process of cutting, undertaken by the purchasers, it was reduced to 46 1/2 carats, and assumed, in the lapidary's hands, a triangular shape of such great brilliancy and perfectly colourless, that it is impossible to distinguished it from an Indian stone of the finest water.
The present Earl of Dudley had it skilfully mounted with 95 smaller brilliants, as a head ornament, whereby full effect is given to its beautiful form and splendid lustre.

Pound asserted that procedural rules intended solely to provide for "the orderly dispatch of business, saving of time and maintenance of the dignity of tribunals," as opposed to rules granting parties an opportunity to state their case, should be enforced only within the sound discretion of the court.
Pound's views that procedure should be made less technical and that judges should be given more latitude accompanied his view that the prevailing notion of substantive law, with formal categories and deduction of results from broad legal principles, did not make sense for modern society.
Pound adds, "[B]ut better checks may be found to restrain the judges than ultraformalism of procedure." Id. He does not explain, however, what these checks would be.

Almost immediately Pound asked what would be the furthest position of Tirpitz assuming she had sailed direct from Trondheim Fjord to attack the convoy, someone, I think it was Brind, plotted a rough course and estimated that she could then be within striking distance of the convoy.
Pounds decisions and subsequent signals were arrived at on the supposition that the Germans had sailed even though evidence was stacked up to the contrary.
But, with ULTRA being available to Pound, and his complete ignorance of the available intelligence as well as his recorded advice from senior officers, he was condemning an entire convoy on pure conjecture and non information.
