There have always been big boys in the Big Ten: Chicago's Walter Eckersall, Illinois' Red Grange, Minnesota's Bronko Nagurski and Herbert Joesting, Michigan's Willie Heston, Harry Kipke, Benny Friedman.

At this point, the boys from Hanover launched a spectacular passing attack that accounted for two touchdowns in short order and turned what had seemed for a time like a rout into a hard-fought contest that wasn't decided until the final...
