I would wholeheartedly support the notion of preserving the memory and legacy of Chic Harley in this manner. Honoring Chic and all he meant to the early days of the legendary OSU football program is very fitting. Go for it!!!

Thank you for placing my idea in your blog. I wouldn’t be surprised if other folks over the years had come up with the same thought. I just wanted your readers to know that though I was on the team I never played in a game other than the spring game. When I was a sophomore there were three juniors ahead of me: Fred Schram, Paul Johnston, and Stan White was always available for duty. I suffered a severe Achilles tendon injury, twice, that kept me from kicking in my junior year. I went out my senior year and though my accuracy was still there, I had lost some yardage. I think Coach Hayes didn’t mind if I hung around practice and kicked a little, but I don’t think he wanted me to risk a permanent disability in a game. As a hard headed youngster, I felt I didn’t want to hang around if I wasn’t helping the team and I quit football after summer practice broke up. I’ll always regret that decision. But ironically some of my most memorable Buckeye memories happened after my injury. when I wasn’t able to play but helped with offensive statistics and cutting films for Coach Hayes’s television show. Coach instilled a sense of the tradition of Ohio State football and though we can’t pay Chic Harley back for his contributions we can “pay forward” as Coach Hayes used to say, for future buckeyes so they will learn about Chic and how his university friends loved and cared for him.

What a terrific idea for honoring Chic on the field on which he played!
Every Ohio State fan should get on board to push for a statue of Chic on the site of Old Ohio Field. The need to honor Chic is so very long overdue.
