All-Time College Eighteen Voted by Football Veterans
A smoke filled gathering of football oldtimers selected the greatest college players since 1889. Named are Germany Schulz, Pudge Heffelfinger, Bronko Nagurski, Jim Thorpe, Red Grange, George Gipp, Walter Eckersall, Glenn Davis, Ernie Nevers, and others with Wade clubs like Stagg and Hutson noted for their ends and backs. The discussion crowned Nagurski as top all around star and Heffelfinger as the era’s premier guard, with a final all-time backfield led by Grange Thorpe and Davis.
