CU Athletic Hall of Fame Profile: Hatfield Chilson

Hatfield Chilson earned 11 letters at Colorado before going on to a distinguished career in law.

It's Hall of Fame Week for Colorado Athletics! The 11-member Class of 2018 was inducted on Nov. 8 at the Boedecker Gym in the CU Events Center, and will be recognized at Saturday's football game against Washington State at 1:30 p.m. Our eighth CU Athletic Hall of Fame Profile is Hatfield Chilson, a three-sport star in the 1920s and inventor of the "jump pass."

Hatfield "Chilly" Chilson was born in Pueblo, Colo., on November 22, 1903, to Annie and Leonard Chilson.
