the White Earth Reservation
in Minnesota, Chippewa settle

Wahoo received his early educa-

years and learned the rudiments of
his football knowledge under AL
Hernstein, the famous Michigan
football star.
From Haskell Wahoo went to
Carlisle, where he was for three
years. He made the baseball, bas-
ket ball and football teams and was
one of the really great athletes of
this wonderful school. He played
end, halfback. fullback and tackle
but mostly end. While there he
learned his football from such men
as Woodruff, Ralph Kenney of Yale,
Bemus Pierce and Glenn Warner
