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:
“Within the circuit of this plodding life
There enter moments of an azure hue,
Untarnished fair as is the violet
Or anemone, when the spring strews them
By some meandering rivulet, which make
The best philosophy untrue that aims
But to console man for his grievances.
I have remembered when the winter came,”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
