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:
“We know of no scripture which records the pure benignity of the gods on a New England winter night. Their praises have never been sung, only their wrath deprecated. The best scripture, after all, records but a meagre faith. Its saints live reserved and austere. Let a brave, devout man spend the year in the woods of Maine or Labrador, and see if the Hebrew Scriptures speak adequately to his condition and experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
