When Oberlin was king of the gridiron : the Heisman years

Nat Brandt
"A young law graduate of the University of Pennsylvania assumed the unpaid position as coach of Oberlin College's football squad in October 1892. By registering for classes as a postgraduate, he simultaneously coached and played for Oberlin's team for three years, leading his team to an undefeated first season. This "bespectacled, stoop-shouldered" young man, as he was described by one player who saw him on his first day of coaching, was John Heisman."
