Gays are Good
in Athletic Field

In naming Chef Gay as one of two
greatest players he had to face dur
ing his college career, Red Grange,
galloping ghost of the gridiron, struck
home with pleasing force to Pine
county citizens, especially to those
who know the estimable family of
Gays at Moose Lake. Every follower
of football knows of Red Grange, for
merly of the University of Illinois,
and his ability to make long gains
and many touchdowns, and as such
his word carries much weight.
Grange was asked to name the
greatest players he faced during his
college career and his answer was
Chef Gay and Clarence Schultz whom
he met to his disappointment in the
Illinois and Minnesota game in 1924.
Gay was terrible nuisance to us
in the 1924 game with Minnesota, y
Grange said, 'the was most unpopular
with Illinois that day. Gay weighed
around 224 pounds and knew how to
use every ounce of his weight, especi-
ally against u.s."
Chef Gay was not the only Gay that
brought attention to Pine county and
especially to Sturgeon Lake and
Moose Lake in an athletic way as
kinks" Gay and Kenneth Dutch
Gay both have won lanrels in recent
years. The latter was regular tackle
on this years Minnesota team and
received good mention by many of the
sport writer's throughout the country
for his work Besides football

pitchers in Pine county for several
seasons and has even been mentioned
as a prospective tryout in the leagues.
