Later Years
In 1914, Wells published a chapter in "The Book of Athletics" providing details and advice on playing the end position in football.
A 1964 article in the Massillon, Ohio newspaper reported that Wells played professional football in the years after graduating from Michigan, but records of professional football in the 1910s are hard to verify.
Wells later became a successful executive with a life and casualty insurance company in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1964, Wells was retired with homes in Sun City, Arizona and a summer home in Cedarville, Michigan.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Uncle Matthew’s four years in France and Italy between 1914 and 1918 had given him no great opinion of foreigners. “Frogs,” he would say, “are slightly better than Huns or Wops, but abroad is unutterably bloody and foreigners are fiends.””
—Nancy Mitford (1904–1973)
“One of the most difficult aspects of being a parent during the middle years is feeling powerless to protect our children from hurt. However “growthful” it may be for them to experience failure, disappointment and rejection, it is nearly impossible to maintain an intellectual perspective when our sobbing child or rageful child comes in to us for help. . . . We can’t turn the hurt around by kissing the sore spot to make it better. We are no longer the all-powerful parent.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)
