Quarterback Hall of Illinois Is One of Season’s Big Grid Stars
WORK ECLIPSED
ONLY BY THAT
OF 'W GRANGE
Back In 19X1, a cleancut, yellow
haired quarterback called the sig
nals for Illinois against Minnesota
in the closing game of the season.
The Illlni, crippled and concededly
inferior in ability, faced the strong
Gophers, who had only to beat
them to have a clean title to the
conference championship. Illinois
on paper did not have the slightest
kind of a chance.
This isn't the kind of story in
which the underdog wins. Minne
sota triumphed but only by a hair.
The Illinois rooters carried their
players off the field on their shoul
ders, than the blond quarterback,
for it was his cool-headed general
ship, his kicking and his all-round
work which had helped to bring
victory so near.
On the Illinois stands, a nine
year-old boy, with tears in his
eyes, said to his father:
CHILD DREAM
COMES TRUE ’
"I’m going to play quarterback on
Illinois some day, just like brother
•Al\”
“Brother ‘Al’,” the quarterback in
that 1911 game was "Swede'* Hall
in those days. Now he is Attor
ney Albert L. Hall of Waukegan,
111.
Childish dreams seldom come
true. But today another cleancut.
yellowhaired quarterback is calling
the signals as the fighting Ulini
gather in their famous "huddle.”
His name is Harry Hall and he is
the same nine-year-old boy of 1911.
Harry Hall was a pretty good
player in high school but he created
no especial furore on the Illinois
freshman team, where he was tried
at fullback. His weight was only
155 pounds. Everybody regarded
him as just an average player—
that is, everybody but Bob Zuppke.
HALL IMPRESSED
ZUPPKE
"Zup,” busy as be was w r lth his
varsity, out. of the corner of his
eye saw Kail’s possibilities, but not
as full or halfback. He made a
mental note that this lad was an
intelligent player. "Zup” is deep.
When the Illini fans doped out the
varsity of 3923. np one mentioned
Harry ns a possibility for quarter
back. But when Illinois opened its
stadium in 1923. "Al” Hall, tho
ouarterback of 1911, sat in the
great memorial and saw his brother
pilot Illinois to victory over Chi
cago.
And when Illinois overwhelmed
Michigan this year. Hall’s defensive
end all-round playing was declared
bv more than one critic to be a fea
trre that was only dwarfed by the
amazing exploits of Gra’nge.
o~.ru zuppKE’S
PFAIGE
"Hall iri the kind of player who
plays far better in a game than in
practice.” explains Zuppke. lie
is a good quarterback because he
is intelligent and cool. He is calm
and quiet and tills has the effect of
steadying the team. He is a great
defensive player and unerring in
interference. He can carry the ball
Jf I'd let him—not a great back,
but god enough to worry ’em. He
can pass and kick as well as most
players. But these are not his
jobs.’*
Harry Hall has never made the
headlines because in the Zuppke
scheme he seldom carries the ball.
But since the Michigan game, the
middle west is talking about him.
There is no more valuable quar
terback in the Big Ten.
But it took a Zunnke to pry him
out of obscurity and develop him
into the quarterback of one cham
pionship eleven and of another
team which is making a strong bid
for honors—a Zuppke. plus the
dream of a nine-year-old kid.

Ohio State Is No Longer
Soft Picking In “Big Ten”
BY BILLY EVANS
Ohio state is back among the
elect in “Big Ten” football circles.
After being kicked around for a
couple of years the Scarlet and
Gray athletes are once more In the
running.
The tie game with Chicago,
which State seemed to have won
until the last 30 seconds of play,
definitely established Coach Jack
Wilce's eleven as a title contender.
Ohio State, after several lean
years, is no longer soft picking.
Any team that defeats State will
know that it has been in a real
football game.
Perhaps this isn’t Ohio State’s
year to win a championship but
take it from me Wilce’s team is
going to have considerable/to say
about the title honors.
EXPERTS ARE
DUBIOUS
No doubt there are some experts
w r ho Will scoff at this viewpoint,
pointing to the fact that State in
four games has scored only 20
points, lacks a punch and therefore
is not a great team.
True, State hasn't run up a big
total, but its opponents have scored
less. Until Curley, the Chicago
substitute, kicked a field goal in
the last 30 seconds of play, State
had not been scored on this year.
Ohio State is one of the very few
major colleges in the country that
has not had its goal-lino crossed.
NATIONALS LACKED
PUNCH
Washington In the American
League lacked a batting punch but
managed to win a pennant and a
world championship. It did so by

runs. That’s State's system, fewer
points.
A great defense that can keep the
oppositon from scoring doesn’t need
much of an offense to be a winner.
Chicago, a team with a recogniz
ed strong offensive, came to Co
lumbus expecting a decisive vic
tory. It was lucky to get a tie.
Incidentally Ohio State kept Chi
cago In check minus two of its best
players, Knrow and Young, Karow,
star fullback aljd a great defensive
player, was in'the game only ft few
minutes. Young Just a trifle over
one period.
Ohio State showed Me a fleet,
back in Klee. Karow, in the few
minutes he played, proved his great
worth..
JENKINS GREAT
TACKLE
This is supposed to be a poor
year for ends but in Cunningham
and Wilson, State is well fortified.
I had ben told that State lacked
a long forward passer. That was
bad dope. Cunningham tosses the
ball a great distance and is accu
rate. tn practice I saw him throw
the ball from the center of the field
over the goal posts, seemingly
without any great effort.
However, no player on tho Ohio
State team impressed me more
than Tackle Jenkins. Playing his
first year, lie acted like a veteran.
Ho was in every play, a mountain
on defense.
Unless I am badly mistaken Jen
kins bids fair to be one of the
greatest tackles ever turned out at
State.
Opponents loking on Ohio State
as easy picking because of past
performances during 1922 and 1923
had better beware.
