First row far right is Bobby Marshall, the first African-American to play football in the conference that evolved in to the Big 10.

It was a different game and time then. Deaths happened when playing. The play was physically concentrated before the forward pass, and there was not as big a physical difference between HS and college players as we see today. Most teams played as many games as they could schedule, but their core conference part of the schedule was very demanding and solid.
