One of the games of the season in 1924 was when Mid-West Rivals the University of Chicago Maroons and the Red Grange led Illinois Illini met in the Windy City. Legendary Coaches Bob Zuppke of Illinois and Amos Alonzo Stagg readied their squads for the game of the season. We tell the story of this game in a unique way with the help of Orville Mulligan: Sportswriter.
