Walter Eckersall Star of Chicago Ends Brillant Football Career
The 1906 football season closes the career of Walter Eckersall, star quarterback and kicker, as he nears graduation from the University of Chicago. A two time All American, Eckersall is hailed as the game’s finest kicker and a captain with rare leadership. Coach Stagg calls him the greatest football player he ever saw, and Chicago honors him for reviving the program and guiding its western championship last year despite a rain-soaked finale this season.
