Who was Al Kreuz?

Albert F. Kreuz was an American football fullback. He played on the Philadelphia Quakers' 1926 American Football League team, which won the league's only championship.

Kreuz played college football at the University of Pennsylvania as a back and placekicker. His first season at Pennsylvania was 1924, his sophomore year, and he played through 1925 before being ruled ineligible for the 1926 season due to having previously played for Kalamazoo College. Kreuz joined the Quakers in 1926. As a runner and placekicker, he scored 34 points during the Quakers' 8–2 season, in which they won the AFL championship. The Chicago Tribune's Wilfred Smith named Kreuz a second-team All-Pro fullback in a list that included players from the National Football League and AFL.
