Abstract: "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."
