At Buchnell, ha lad atl tha nation in scoring. Undar his drive, tha tlttla collage rtad its finest football yean. In tha Shrine East-Wast Game, unsung and unnamed on Alk America teams, he shamed Tha Big Names from The Big Schools to take top honors and the underdog East won. With the Packers, ht played nearly every play fn every game tor 10 years. And In that 10, tha Pack was champion or challenger eight timet! He led the Pros In scoring, yards gained, field goals; his Ball carrying records tasted for many years.

But It was on defense he came to Irfe with bang. He made the enemy took for the exits, and head for the Utile. They say you didn't need a program to pick him out; you didn't need his number you identified Hinkle by sound, he hit with such a loud smackl Cfarkt Hinkb lint in his old kome'tOH'K, Toronto, nfAeOAto.

That's what they thought at Penn State while he was blasting piths to pay-dirt for Ughthorse Harry Wilson.

That's how he was regarded by Red Grange who was seeking the best for his old American League in war with the NFL And that's how he's hailed In Green Bay were he finally went to help the Parkers win three straight World Championships (1929-30-31). All-around Ail-Pro four times, Iron Mike was especially devastating on attack. No guard ever led the charge with surer, SAtrter savagery. His high standard of efficiency is still a tarjet for up-and-coming young blockers. Mike Michalske also set an aH-time high for team spirit! his Penn State senior year, he tvlllingty shifted to fullback for take of the team, thue deliberately turning his back on certain selection as All-America Guard.

'Can You Imagine "Really the feeling is beyond the fans and this is what we received here." Both Hinkle and Michalske said that it seems strange but yet a real pleasure to be in the public's eye again. Alter so many years away from the game," Mike said, "It Is hard to realize that your name still means something to the football fans. In fact I was jealous of those Steelers and Colts who were playing.
