But there were at least three "Wild Bills" playing college or pro football in 1933, and likely more. Are there any clues on the back of the photo?
See pic - "Cream (can't make out 2nd word), Black Edge, 129, Sep "

Just noticed - could be a number "31" on the front of his jersey. At least part of the photograph is hand colored - including whatever number is on his jersey.

At least put O/T in the subject title. Per the written rules, which no one reads, longstanding members are permitted a few off topics. I haven't a clue on the player but good luck..

Sorry Leon - edited to add O/T
