The article was in poor shape but has now been expanded. Messler played at the tackle position on Walter Camp's 1891-1893 Yale teams that won three consecutive national championships.

Indeed, Messler's 1894 team competed at a high level with games against major Southern teams of the day, including a victory over 1894 Kentucky State College Blue and White football team|Kentucky State (i.e. the University of Kentucky) and a close loss to 1894 Vanderbilt Commodores football team|Vanderbilt
