Don Willis

Don Willis (May 1, 1909 – March 2, 1984) was a colorful pool hustler and billiards player from Canton, Ohio. At the time, cash prizes for pool tournaments did not pay enough for a full time income, so he traveled the country playing private pool games for money. Because Willis did not play in tournaments his talent was never widely recognized beyond a close circle of friends and family.

In addition to pool, Willis played the game of ping pong so well he could win games playing with a bottle as a paddle.
