Jack Gray
After the All-Stars second game with the Packers, Ollie Kraehe traded Jack "Dolly" Gray who was reportedly a former all-American end from Princeton for cash to Curly Lambeau and the Packers. It appeared as if Kraehe gave away one of his best players. However, this Dolly Gray was an impostor who had never played at Princeton. Lambeau discovered this after watching his new end perform so badly the next game that he addressed Kraehe on the matter. Kraehe told Lambeau that trading away the impostor was meant as a "joke" and that he would return the money paid for Gray to Lambeau.

Famous quotes containing the words jack and/or gray:
“Wild Bill was indulging in his favorite pastime of a friendly game of cards in the old No. 10 saloon. For the second time in his career, he was sitting with his back to an open door. Jack McCall walked in, shot him through the back of the head, and rushed from the place, only to be captured shortly afterward. Wild Bill’s dead hand held aces and eights, and from that time on this has been known in the West as “the dead man’s hand.””

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,”
