The 1924 Horlick-Racine Legion season was their third in the National Football League (NFL) and last season as the Legion. The team finished the year with a record of 4 wins, 3 losses, and 3 ties â good for 7th place in the 18-team league
On December 9, some 200 Racine football fans gathered to honor the 1924 Legion team and its financial angel, malted milk industrialist William Horlick. Fullback Hank Gillo was recognized as the de facto most valuable player of the squad, having scored more points for Racine in 1924 than all other team members combined. Gillo was presented with a watch in recognition of his achievement.
For his donation of use of his company's athletic field for the Legion team's use, as well as for "covering up all deficits on the financial ledger," Horlick was honored with a formal resolution of thanks and a standing ovation and three cheers from those assembled.
The following players appeared in at least one game for the Horlick-Racine Legion team in 1924. The number of NFL games in which they appeared follows each name in parentheses. No player on the 1924 Racine team has ever been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
