- @BeanieFan11 and Onegreatjoke: ALT0 is interesting, however we are making an assumption with the hook and in our article by saying,
"meaning he had to buy all the equipment and recruit all the players for his team".
The references do not say this from what I have read. They just say he faced shortages and had to solve the problem of getting equipment. I think ALT0 needs to be modified.

- Also, one more ALT hook I thought of in case there's issues with the others:
- ALT2: ... that American football fullback Harry Bolick was described as being a more effective blocker than an iron fence? Source: Coach Walter Johnson couldn't have built an iron fence for better safeguard than Bolick

- Actually, after thinking about it, I think I like the iron fence hook more than that he had to get the equipment and players. So if its okay I'd prefer that be the one to get promoted. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:42, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
