tailieunhanh - Bob Zuppke The Life and Football Legacy of the Illinois Coach

As a youth, I was exposed to football mania in northeastern Ohio. When I was seven, I read about the University of Illinois football team that played Army in the new municipal stadium in Cleveland. In the seventh grade, the boys in my class were photographed as the North Madison Grade School football team. Lacking the ability and time to play on the high school team, I described interscholastic games for the school newspaper. As a college freshman, I played in one game against the local seven-man high school team. In the Navy in World War II, we played flag football and watched professionals and amateurs play for.
