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:
“One of the ministers of Truro, when I asked what the fishermen did in the winter, answered that they did nothing but go a- visiting, sit about, and tell stories, though they worked hard in summer. Yet it is not a long vacation they get. I am sorry that I have not been there in winter to hear their yarns.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
