McCornack
Hogan
I always like these amateur photos of football teams in their element. This appears to be taken after one of their practices. The head coach Walter McCornack was a two year captain for Dartmouth and has been highlighted in another post.
Pictured is a 21 year old James Hogan. Hogan later became a star player and All- American for Yale. I find it interesting the scandal that surrounded him.
He was 25 years old when he first started playing for Yale so he was a man amongst boys. Yale had a large fund that they set aside for tutoring of their players. It was found that Hogan was not paying tuition and was living in a lavish dorm room. Also, along with some other players had a monopoly on selling baseball score cards at games. if that wasn't enough, he had sole rights to sell American Tobacco Co. cigarettes on campus earning a commission off of each sale. This sounds eerily similar to today’s college sports landscape and NIL money.
