Here are some images of Amos Alonzo Stagg during his Yale days. If you are unfamiliar with him he is definitely worth looking up. Unlike Harry Beecher, who I posted recently, he did not come from fame and wealth. He had to work odd jobs to put himself through school. He is one of the few individuals who is in the College Football HOF as both a player and coach. He is also in the basketball HOF for early work done with James Naismith at Springfield YMCA. He was responsible for many innovations in football throughout his lifelong coaching career. He lived to be in his hundreds.
