liens life is one of extremes.
There is nothlnlg half-way about
him. Before the throngs in the
football stadium he is a tornado—a.
symphony of motion. lie is a fleet-
ing shadow. a ghostly figure eluding
the grasp of eager opponents.
'l‘hrongs are spell-bound by his
prowess. The nation gasps with
wonder at his doings, His pictures
are in all the papers. Questions of
State are shelved for the moment.
Grunge's doings is the big news of
the day.
Go back to Summer. Red Grange
is at home in the village of Wheat-
on, Ill., 3. little west of Chicago. , e
has his broakfact at 6 A. M. with is
father and brother in a motherlesa
home. They prepare the meal them-
selves and then Red goes to work on
the‘ice wagon. He is in overalls. All
day he hoists and carries cakes of
ice. Every housewife in the town
knows him and has a smile for him.

Red is a nice boy. big and strong
and handsome and quiet. He flat»

has given him a generous cut of pie.
The. village girls smile at him and
the “kids" admire him. He p ys
with them in the street in the e
lugs. and is nothing but a. bashful
boy himself.
At the University of llllnois Red
(or Harold) Grange is their greatest
hero of all time. His old bino’ jersey
with No. “77" on the back is to .be
preserved in the museum. No one
in the. past has been so honored. Red

him “lied." lie could be a social
lion, but he likes to pal around with
a few close friends. He'd rat-lion go
to. a picture ‘show than a dilute. 3
It was a year ago that Red ran all
over the Michigan team on the lili-

that quarter. Once he ran though

lied doesn't know how to talk
about himself. He seem sto wonder
why anybody would want to know
about himself. He seems to wonder
why the public should be interested
in his past life or his future plans.
Ilut the story of his development as
America's greatest football hero is a
sporting document.
To understand'lted 0‘3, should
know that his father. Lyle N. Grange
in early days was ace of the lumber-
lacks in ,the P~nnsyivania moun—
tains. ‘Itod's father now holds the
post of assistant deputy sheriff of
his county. His mother died when
the boy was only 5 years of ago. An
older sister assumed the household
cares for a time. but finally married
and moved away. That left Red and

Red‘s athletic tendencies asserted
themselves early. Once after return-
ing from a county fair where he
had observed the games. he rifled
up some high jumping standards
and r‘oudly announced. "Pa; 1 cu"
lum. and then proceeded to dem-
onstrate thathe could leap over the
bar when it was placed nearly as
high as his head.
Captured Many Firsts
From then on he entered all the
athletic events of the community.
While still a. lad in the grammar
trades he returned one day from a
Sunday school picnic with his neck-
et! rammed with prizes, he had won
in the games. its took first place in
every event he had entered.
Before he was through grammar
school he was an adept‘ in football
and basketball, and finally he enter-

the coach decided he was too \alu-
able in carrying the ball. so he made
a fullback of him. .
, During his High school career the
Wheaten team suffered only one do-
feat. that being from Scott High of
Toledo. which claimed a national
championship. In that game Red
was kicked in the head and had to
be taken out of the game.
Some of his notable achievements
while in prep school were his thirty
consecutive kicks after touchdowns,
and his vigorous work when the un-
defeated thaton met the undefeat-
ed Downer-'s. Grove team. In that
some Red scored six out of nine
touchdowns and kicked '3“ nine of
the goals after touchdowns. and his
team won; (ill to 13. although every
one expected it to be beaten.
‘icd's career in other sports than
football is. also noteworthy. In his
senior year at High school during
three weeks of the spring term he
entered nineteen track events in
competition and won all. In basket-
ball he was a star in the High school
In baseball at High school he was a
good outfielder and a, splendid lilt-
ter. but was not. considered strong
enough to make the team at the unl-
vcrslty. although he intends to try
again next spring with the hope of
winning a baseball letter before iln~
lshlng college.

think be will make his mark what-
ever he takes up. At the close of his
Junior year last spring moving pic-
ture promoters showed him a chance
to make 5100.000 in a year's time.
He was to be featured in a film of
football and love.
Declines Movies for Ice Wagon. .
Perhaps the love port scared him
away. Anyway. he declined the of-
for because hohad made up his mind
to do his best for Illinois in football
until his college career was,over. and
no believed that a summer in mollc
work would not keep him in lit can-
So he turned down the
chance to, make $100,000 and went
back to the loo wagon in “‘heaton
for $30 a week.
