St. Louis All-Stars - Jack Gray

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.

    To him the mighty mother did unveil
    Her awful face:
