In an interview given to the "Old Sport" and published in his Philadelphia Inquirer column "The Old Sports Musings", Uncle Jim bragged that "more all-american timber has been growed at Bellefonte than any other prep school in America.  Over forty Bellefonte men have made the grade."

"This in itself is enough to centre the eyes of football fans on the school - but when it is further known that the enrollment at Bellefonte is seldom over 150 these same fans begin to lift their eyebrows."

These pages contain the names of these athletes that brought great honor to the Bellefonte Academy.
