2009 Th u n d e r Fo o t b a l l - 42 2009 WHEATON FOOTBALL YEARBOOK

Th e s t o r y b e h i n d t h e “Li t t l e Br a ss Be l l ” -- Wh e a t o n v e r s u s No r t h Ce n t r a l Wheaton’s October 24, 2009 football game against North Central will be the 90th meeting between the two schools dating back to 1900. Wheaton leads the overall series with a 51-36-3 all-time record. Since the introduction of the Little Brass Bell in 1946, Wheaton has won 44 of the 59 games played. According to Legend, “The Bell” first appeared in New York in the early 1800’s. In 1839, a New England family headed westward carrying “The Bell” and settled in DuPage County. “The Bell” became part of the political bickering between Naperville and Wheaton over the location of the DuPage County Courthouse. In 1857, Wheaton began a campaign to assume the leadership of the county and 10 years later officially gained control. However, the city of Naperville refused to turn over the county records to Wheaton. At 4 AM one July morning, according to the DuPage County Guide, Wheaton struck back with a raid on the Naperville courthouse which netted the records in question. From his home opposite the courthouse, Naperville resident Herom H. Cody awoke to see men carrying off armfuls of documents. Before the Congregational Church bell could sound the alarm, the culprits had fled. The Brass Bell was among the items removed. At the end of the century, “The Bell” came into the possession of a farmer living between the two cities whose sons both wanted to attend college. It was agreed that the son who won a coin toss could attend North Central, while the other would go to Wheaton. Shortly afterwards, the father died and in the division of the estate, the brother attending North Central inherited the “Little Brass Bell.” So “The Bell” left the political arena to enter the world of campus loyalties.

2009 Th u n d e r Fo o t b a l l - 46 2009 WHEATON FOOTBALL YEARBOOK McCu l l y St a d i u m Ho m e o f Th u n d e r Fo o t b a l l McCully Stadium is the longtime home of Wheaton football and track and field. Previously known as New Lawson Field, the field was renamed McCully Field in 1956, when a concrete grandstand with a seating capacity of 4,100 was added. The facility became known as McCully Stadium in 2006 to reflect the addition of lights, a new playing surface for football and a newly re-surfaced synthetic track around the playing field. Wheaton has compiled a record of 44-5 since 2000 at McCully Stadium, including 24 consecu- tive victories from October 6, 2001 to November 12, 2005. In 2004 McCully Stadium received a new playing surface, as state-of-the-art artificial grass from FieldTurf was installed. In the fall of 2005 lights were added to further improve the facility for games and practices and the track around the playing field was also resurfaced at that time. In 2007, a state- of-the-art high definition video scoreboard was added to the west end of the stadium. The stadium provides seating for approximately 4,000 fans. A concession area, restrooms and team meeting rooms are located under the grandstand. Crowning the home grandstand is a pressbox facility. The facility includes two radio booths and seating for media, statisticians and other support staff. Coaches and video personnel from each team can witness the game from the privacy of enclosed booths, located on each side of the pressbox. The stadium was named in honor of former Wheaton gridder Ed McCully as a tribute to his extraordinary bravery in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Mc- Cully was a former Wheaton football player and 1949 graduate of Wheaton College. Ed McCully and Jim El- liot served as missionaries to the fierce Auca Indians in the jungles of Ecuador. On January 3, 1956, these men landed their plane on a narrow strip of beach near the Auca territory. After building a tree house and es- tablishing two-way radio contact with their wives, they had a brief encounter with the Auca Indian tribe. Two days later the team was found speared to death by this tribe on the beach not far from where they had landed. By the grace of God the story did not end there. Their wives continued the work their husbands had started and eventually led this same South American tribe to Christ.
