IN MEMORY OF JACK TRICE WHO DIED OCTOBER 8, 1923. OF INJURIES RECEIVED IN THE AMES-MINNESOTA FOOTBALL GAME

My thoughts just before the first real college game of my life:
The honor of my race, family, and self is at stake. Every one 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 crossbucks and reverse end runs. Be on your toes every minute If you expect to make good.

Jack.
