context_page_description: Willis Merton "Wee Willie" Smith was an American football back who played one season with the New York Giants of the National Football League.
context_section_description: Smith played in nine games in the National Football League, starting one, for the New York Giants in 1934. In the 17–7 win over Pittsburgh on October 21, Smith scored the final touchdown on a three-yard run to seal the win. The following week, he scored a late touchdown on a 24-yard run in the 17–0 win over Philadelphia.
  The Giants, coached by Steve Owen, finished 8–5 in the regular season and won the Eastern Division. They met George Halas' undefeated Chicago Bears for a third time that season in the NFL championship game. The Bears had won the two regular season games in November and led 13–3 after three quarters on a frigid December 9, but the Giants scored four touchdowns in the fourth quarter to secure a 30–13 upset at the Polo Grounds for the league title,  in what was later known as the "Sneakers" game. Due to his small stature, Smith wore number zero and generated a considerable amount of interest in the press.
  In 1936, Smith played for the independent Los Angeles Bulldogs, who played all their games at home at Gilmore Stadium.
