Oliver Robert Kraehe (August 22, 1898 – December 19, 1966) was a professional football player for the Rock Island Independents in 1922.
Kraehe began his pro football career in 1923 as a substitute offensive lineman playing for the Rock Island Independents.
Ollie Kraehe figured that if small towns markets, like Green Bay and Rock Island, could be successful operating a professional football, then operating in a larger market, like St. Louis would bring in even more income.
Kraech also was able to sign an agreement with the St. Louis Browns that allowed them to use Sportsman's Park as their home field.
Lambeau discovered this after watching his new end perform so badly the next game, that he addressed Kraehe on the matter.
