A program and game ticket set to Chic Harley's last game for Ohio State on November 22, 1919. There was once a time that Illinois was Ohio State's biggest rival in the Big Ten.  Perhaps no finer example was in the 1919 season when Chic Harley and Ohio State was on the brink of the school's first ever National Championship. However, Harley was not at full strength, coming in with a banged up knee.  He did score Ohio State's only touchdown on a 1-yard plunge to give Ohio State a 7-6 lead in the third quarter.  With eight seconds remaining in the game, however, Illinois' Bob Fletcher connected successfully on his first ever field goal attempt to hand Harley and his Buckeyes a 9-7 defeat.  Chic Harley stood on the field sobbing and had to be helped to the locker room following his only collegiate loss.

Harley would become Ohio State's first ever three-time All-American after the season and would be one of 44 charter members inducted into the inaugural 1951 College Football Hall of Fame class.
