    Football (1914)
O'Hearn was a rugged end with uncanny pass-catching talents on the 1914 football team, considered one of the most potent Cornell team’s of the Pioneer Era. He was captain of the team in 1914 and was named an All-American by Walter Camp that season after playing a major role in an 8-2 campaign that included a valiant come-from-behind victory over highly regarded Michigan. The ’14 team outscored its opponents 257-54. O'Hearn was inducted into the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame in 1972.
