Berwanger and Lyons High School
I removed a sentence claiming that Berwanger played football and ran track at Lyons High School in west suburban Chicago. All of the sourcing I have read claims that he was born, raised, and graduated high school in Iowa. If a source can be found for this, please re-add it with the source.

"He was very modest about the Heisman and used the trophy as a doorstop in his library." I don't think this is true. It would seem to have been used by Berwanger's Aunt Gussie as a doorstop.
