The Nebraska Athletics Department will honor eight members of the College Football Hall of Fame by adding them to a prestigious group of former Cornhuskers with retired jerseys.
The names of the eight are:
Guy Chamberlin, Ed Weir, Clarence Swanson, George Sauer, Sam Francis, Forrest Behm, Bobby Reynolds and Wayne Meylan.
It’s a nice nod to the past by the athletic department.
The eras in which they played were certainly different than now. Guy Chamberlin played from 1913 - 1915. 1915 saw the sinking of the Lusitania. Two years later the United States would enter into World War I.
