Hall of Fame
He was an All-America end in football who teamed with quarterback Charles Barrett '16 as a highly successful passing combination on the 1915 national championship team that went 9-0. He was a two-way performer with speed, great tackling ability and a knack for making the big play. The most decisive feat of his football career was in 1915 when he recovered a fumble on Harvard's 25-yard line that resulted in Cornell's only touchdown en route to a 10-0 shutout, for the Crimson's first defeat in four years. An all-around athlete, he also participated in basketball as a sophomore and junior and rowed with the crew as a freshman. He was elected to the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame in 1973.
