A hero off the field as well

From TIME magazine, January 17, 1927:

Ralph ("Moon") Baker, all-American halfback: "En route to gymnasium last week from my fraternity house, Phi Kappa Psi, at Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., I heard screams. Clinging to a Lake Michigan pier pillar, her body half submerged in icy water, was Althea Levere, eight, who had fallen in while playing. I waded in; carried her ashore."
