• article was sufficiently expanded in the last week, it is long enough, and the article is well-written. The hook is an appropriate length and meets all requirements. QPQ was completed. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 21:38, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

[Sic]?

The article includes the following statements:

• A 1922 article in The Bridgeport Telegram said his "greatest feat on the gridiron this season [sic] was his 53 yard run back of a punt which he scored a touchdown."
• "Details of the accident are meagre but from the scattered accounts pieced together by E. L. Fletcher, structural engineer of the American Tube and Stamping company, Hammill with another workman was on the roof of one of the buildings shortly before 9 o'clock this morning[sic]."

What's with the sics? There is nothing to indicate (a) that the 53-yard run back didn't take place during the season that the article was published, or (b) that the accident didn't take place in the morning of the day as to which the article's dateline, November 24, 1925, was applied. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:34, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Notes

• "After playing college football for Connecticut he played four seasons" fix grammar or add comma
  • Comma added.
• if you look at ref 1, its probably worth saying should his legs were amputated
  • Added.
• "received more playing time u" he was already on the varsity eleven so not sure how he could have gotten more playing time if he was already starting? The source says he switched from end to backfield in 1918.
  • Changed.
• add he was an end in 1917
  • Added.
• do you know if his all new england was first or second team? Add to infobox
  • Uncertain of whether he was first or second team, but added to infobox.
