He disclosed that the famous fa-mous sweater had been given to Grange along with the rest of his football foot-ball outfit, just after the Wheaton Iceman's Ice-man's last college game. Illinois traditions, tra-ditions, Bullocks says, have always opposed op-posed the display of apparel worn by noted athletes, and no serious consideration consid-eration ever was given to the suggestion sug-gestion that the famous "77" sweater be preserved by the university. Instead, In-stead, according to custom, it was given giv-en to Grange, and no other "77" will be used on an Illinois football team. |
