Harry LeGore

Harry William LeGore (August 1, 1894 – June 7, 1956) was an American football and baseball player, Maryland state legislator and businessman.

LeGore enrolled at Yale University where he played for the school's football, baseball and basketball teams and was a member of Skull and Bones.

[2] American sports writer Grantland Rice once wrote that he wouldn't trade LeGore for Red Grange and added: "Harry never played a poor game in his life.

Knute Rockne later wrote in his autobiography: "I sat on the sideline at New Haven that Saturday and saw a good Yale team captained by Bud Talbott with a crack halfback named Harry LeGore leading the attack.

In 1915, LeGore was ruled permanently ineligible to complete in college athletics after it was found that his food and lodging had been paid while playing summer baseball.

"[6]At the end of the 1916 season, LeGore was selected as a second-team All-American by Walter Camp for Collier's Weekly,[7] International News Service,[8] Walter Eckersall of the Chicago Tribune,[9] and Paul Purman, noted sports writer whose All-American team was syndicated in newspapers across the United States,[10] and University of Michigan football coach Fielding H.

[2] In 1999, The News-Post in Maryland picked LeGore as one of the Top 25 most significant sports figures in the history of Frederick County.
