Ex-Illini Have a safe and happy holiday. Good luck with exams. Wallace dies

Associated Press

URBANA, Ill. Stan Wallace, who helped Illinois to victory in the 1952 Rose Bowl and went on to play for the Chicago Bears, has died following heart surgery. Wallace, 68, died Monday at an Urbana hospital. A native of Hillsboro, Wallace returned a pass inter­ ception 56 yards to set up Illinois' go-ahead touchdown in a 40-7 victory over Stanford in the Rose Bowl. He played defensive back for the Bears from 1954-58, then spent three seasons with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. Wallace entered private business in Champaign­ Urbana after his football career. He is survived by a widow and two children. Funeral arrangements are pending.
