Harry Charles "Chick" Jagade Jr. (December 9, 1926 – November 24, 1968) was an American football fullback and linebacker who played collegiately for the Indiana University Hoosiers.
[1] On the football field Jagade played offensively as a fullback — primarily a blocking and short-yardage running position under head coach Bo McMillan's scheme — and defensively as a linebacker.
[5] His college career was interrupted with Jagade's March 1945 induction into the military associated with America's ongoing engagement in World War II, still in its final months.
"[1] Jagade returned to Indiana for the school's 1948 season but was immediately sidelined by a knee injury that limited his playing time and effectiveness.
[10] He never played with the Redskins, however, instead returning to Indiana for 1948 before signing with the Baltimore Colts of the rival All-America Football Conference (AAFC) ahead of the 1949 season.
[11] In his first season under the legendary head coach Paul Brown, Jagade was confined to a reserve role, seeing action in 11 games without a single start.
[13] After retirement from football, Jagade lived in Glenview, Illinois with his wife, the former Ada Lee Bozarth, whom he married in 1949,[9] and the couple's three children.
[14] Even during his career as a professional football player, Jagade worked in the off-season as superintendent of a tool and die factory on the northwest side of Chicago.
[15] On November 24, 1968, Jagade was hunting with friends on Washington Island, located in Wisconsin just off the peninsula at the northern tip of Green Bay.
