1890 Charles Emrich Navy Football Captain

 Charles Emrich was the captain of the Navy football team in 1890.  That year they played Army in the first battle between the two schools which began a long tradition.  In a previous thread I had posted the Army Captain Dennis Mahan Michie.  Navy went on to win this matchup 24-0.  Emrich died of typhoid fever in Hong Kong in 1900.
