Frosty Peters

Peters played for the Montana State Bobcats of Montana State College in 1924. He converted 17 drop kicks into field goals in a game between the Bobcats' freshman team and Billings Polytechnic Institute. The Bobcats won the game by a score of 64–0. The Bobcats helped him set up his drop kicks by falling short of the goal line instead of scoring. Peters also made 15 drop kicks in a game once. Montana State athletic director Schubert Dyche said that "We agreed that every time we got inside the 30-yard line. Frosty would drop kick one." He transferred to play for the Illinois Fighting Illini of the University of Illinois in 1925, where he was a part of the Illini freshman football team. He was heralded by some to be a potential successor to Red Grange. Peters lettered in football for the Illini in 1926, 1928 and 1929. ==Professional football career==

Peters played for the Providence Steam Roller and Portsmouth Spartans of the NFL in 1930. He then played for the NFL's Brooklyn Dodgers in 1931 and the Chicago Cardinals of the NFL in 1932. Peters was also coach of the Tigers from 1933 to 1934, serving as a player-coach. He was also later a player-coach with the St. Louis Gunners. ==Professional baseball career==

Peters spent time playing professional baseball in the 1930s. He attended George Barr umpire school in Hot Springs, Arkansas. He spent time as a baseball umpire, serving in the Florida State League and then the American Association (AA). Peters's stint in the AA was interrupted by service in World War II. He was assaulted by an AA manager in 1946. Peters then resigned, stating that "when an umpire gets socked and they fine the guy only $100 and five days, it's an open invitation for everybody in the league to start punching you around." ==References==
