Bought this picture of Grange and Senator McKinley leaving a meeting with President Calvin Coolidge just because I love the story about this meeting.

Apparently the conversation went like this:

Senator McKinley: "President, I want to introduce you to George Halas and Red Grange of the Chicago Bears."

The President smiled.

"It's nice to meet you, gentlemen,'' the President said. ''I've always enjoyed animal acts.''
