 The following year, the United States Naval Academy hired him to coach their football team. He led the squad to a 4 – 1 – 2 record for the season, including a 1 – 1 – 1 record against rival schools. He then accepted a coaching job at Dartmouth College, where for the next four years he led them to perfect records against both of their Triangular Football League opponents. They had a winning record the first year and a 5 – 2 – 1 record the second year. In 1899, his fifth season as coach, his team went 2 – 7 and lost both of its conference games.
