"Frank Wheat, captain and quarter of the Northeast Football team, was very popular among his fellow team-mates
and was noted for the pep and fight that he put into his team. Wheat was considered the best passer in the league and his
work was recognized when he was picked as captain and quarter of the second All-Star team. Wheat did all of the punting for
Northeast, but due to injuries in the early part of the season, he was unable to be seen in his best forms. Wheat stands 6
feet high and weighs 168 pounds."

"Frank Wheat, who holds down the center postion for the championship five, was one of the hardest fighters
on the team. Wheat was a good shot and was not afraid to get into the play. He was the engineer of many passes which were
later turned into goals by our for3ards. Wheat was the best free-thrower in the league, missing only two chances during the
season. This was Wheat's second year on the team and he was picked as the All-Star center of the league."
