A New Era: The Rising Cyclones, Acknowledgments by Alex Halsted, Acknowledgments by Dylan Montz, Sources, CHAPTER 1 Jack Trice The night before the biggest game of his life, Jack Trice sat alone in his hotel room at the Curtis Hotel in Minneapolis. The next day he would start his first varsity game, but for the moment he sat isolated and consumed by his thoughts. The hotel stationery and pen lay in front of him. John G. Trice was born to Green and Anna Trice in 1902, in Hiram, Ohio, a small town some 40 miles southeast of Cleveland. Green was a farmhand and Anna washed clothes; his four grandparents had been slaves. John went by Jack. He was a jokester and a member of the Boy Scouts.
