Wallie Winter was a college football head coach for the University of Minnesota for the 1893 season, leading the team to a 6-0 overall record including 3-0 in Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the Northwest league play. He had been an All-American Tackle at Yale and was known for working the players extremely hard, to the point that "they considered the actual games to be breathers compared to the scrimmages."

Famous quotes containing the word winter:
“Every poem of value must have a residue [of language].... It cannot be exhausted because our lives are not long enough to do so. Indeed, in the greatest poetry, the residue may seem to increase as our experience increases—that is, as we become more sensitive to the particular ignitions in its language. We return to a poem not because of its symbolic [or sociological] value, but because of the waste, or subversion, or difficulty, or consolation of its provision.”
—William Logan, U.S. educator. “Condition of the Individual Talent,” The Sewanee Review, p. 93, Winter 1994.
