Racine Legion

In 1915, the Racine Regulars formed Wisconsin's first important semi-professional team.

It was reorganized in 1919 with sponsorship from the local American Legion post and William Horlick, president of his family's malted milk company.

Facing the threat of Red Grange's American Football League in 1926, the NFL was eager to get as many teams and players as possible into the fold to keep them away from the AFL.

After winning their first game, the Tornadoes lost four in a row and disbanded in late October because of struggling finances.

The Racine Legion have the distinction of winning the only NFL game where one team scored exactly 4 points.
