Interview of former Spartan kicker and half-back Leon Hill
Former Spartan kicker and half-back Leon Hill talks about his experiences on the Michigan Agricultural College (M.A.C.) football team in 1909 through 1912. Hill, from Benton Harbor, MI explains why he chose M.A.C. over the University of Michigan and talks about the football equipment he wore, playing both offense and defense, playing two games in one day, away games at Notre Dame and Michigan, injuries he sustained, cheer leaders, and his teammates. He says that he left school after the 1912 season and calls himself "a damned fool" for not graduating.
