AMERICA’S GREATEST
ONE LEGGED ATHLETE
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
ALLIANCE, 0., March 28— Fifteen
years ago “Peg” Oswalt, 23, watched
Mt. Union college baseball men and
gridders at their daily practice.
“Peg” often expressed the wish that j
some day he would be the greatest
athlete in Ohio. But “Peg”, having
only one leg, realized his inability to.
become Ohio's greatest two legged
athlete. So he set out to become j
America’s greatest one-legged
athlete. He is that today.
Oswalt plays football, baseball and
basketball and can roller-skate. His
lone left leg has stood him in good
stead in many a hard-fought athletic
contest when he competed against
! able-bodied tw o-legged men, and did
not suffer by comparison.
“Peg” learned to poise himself on
his crutches and he can kick off as
well as the be ;t two-legged players in
football. His crutches are used only
1 in starting the game. As soon as the
ball goes sailing through the air he
throws them away and hops with as
much speed as many gridders attain
on two good legs.
Last fall “Peg” played right guard
on the strong Alliance Independent
team, which went the whole season
without a single defeat. It is a mat
! ter of local football history that
Oswalt in a game with Canton last
November leaped through the line and
stopped a terrific tandem plunge
when Canton had the ball on the one-,
! yard line ready to back it over on the

last down. Oswalt played in every
game and was frequently injured, but
refused to quit.
“Peg” catches on baseball teams
and is given a runner after he reaches
first base. He has been known to
hobble all the way around the circuit
at times when runs were needed.
He is a deadly accurate goal shoot)
or in basket ball. He plays forward
on the McCoombs Bros., team here,
which a week ago defeated the strong
Hiram college five.
In addition to these sports, Oswalt
is an excellent roller-skater and an
expert swimmer.
“One leg is enough if you know how
to use it,” he has frequently said to
friends.
