"The honor of my race, family and self is at stake. Everyone is expecting me to do big things. i will. My whole body and soul are to be thrown recklessly about the field. Every time the ball is snapped, I will be trying to do more than my part...Fight low, with your eyes open and toward the play. Watch out for cross-blocks and reverse end runs. Be on your toes every minute if you expect to make good.'
- Jack Trice, Iowa State football player, died on the football field in 1923.
