Frank L. Baker Jr. (Football, 1928-30)
A football standout for the Wildcats from 1928-1930, Baker became the fifth Northwestern football player to be named All-American in 1930. That year, he was co-captain of the NU squad that won the Big Ten Championship with a 7-1 overall record and an undefeated 5-0 mark in the Big Ten. Baker was the president of his sophomore class during his time at Northwestern, and was also a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. Following the 1930 season, he was selected to play in the East-West Shrine Game in San Francisco. Baker played only one season in the NFL with Green Bay, but that year helped the Packers to a 12-2 record and their third straight NFL Championship.
After football, Baker pursued a career in motion pictures, and he signed a contract with MGM. He also served in World War II as a B-17 pilot, and he remained in the Air Force for a period after the war. He eventually settled in the Bay Area.
