  If anyone is interested in early Ohio Pro Football, I suggest you check out Chris Willis' book "Old Leather."Chris is the director of the library at NFl Films (yeah, what a job) and is an Ohio native himself.The book details the origins and evolution of professional football in Ohio, and is a great niche read.I had a chance to talk with him a little bit while I was an intern and he knows an amazing amount about early football.

  Such is the life of Chris Willis, a researcher for NFL Films.
  
  The credit for the finished project goes mainly to the producers, but much of the leg work comes from the office of Willis, a Columbus native who began his career doing odd jobs during the week of the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductions.
  
  Willis spoke Saturday at the combined celebration of former NFL All-Pro Glenn Presnell's 99th birthday and the 20th anniversary of the documentary, "Pro Football: Once A Small Town Sport."
  ...
  "I like to find the older organizations centered around the 1920s and 1930s that preserve the true history," Willis said."You find a lot of nice people in those communities."
  
  While the offseason is more of a normal 40-hour work week, Willis is locked in his office most of the regular season logging up to 60 hours during a six-day work week.
  
  "I get Saturdays off.I use that time to watch college football or take in a movie.But then it's back to work on Sunday.We have to have our shows out by Tuesday or Wednesday," Willis said.
  
  Producers knock on Willis' door searching for information from an extensive library to write their scripts or transfer tapes.
  
  "They can grab what they need on any subject," Willis said.
  ...
  Barnett said the photo was the only picture from the game, but Willis said a second picture was found.
  ...
  "It was the only action photo known," Willis said.
