Experience the feeling of American football in the early 1930's through the All-American life of Jay Berwanger. Before television and pro football, college football was it - a national sensation. The star of this world, through an unlikely program - the University of Chicago - is noteworthy. The first 2/3 of this book is a game by game, season by season narrative. The latter half covers the adult life of one of football's most lovable heroes. The modest son of a blacksmith from the banks of the Mississippi River displayed heroics on and off the field. Anyone interested in the Big Ten, the Heisman, or College Football will enjoy this book.
