The Story on the 1915 Brown Bruins

In the podcast episode above historian Timothy P. Brown explains who that was through his careful research through the newspapers and periodicals that carried such early gridiron coverage. Check out the original article on Tim's pages:

Tim let us know a little bit about the Brown University football eleven of 1915. The 1915 Brown had some pretty legendary players on their roster that season. This gridiron squad featured Fritz Pollard, Wallace Wade, and Zach Siebel.

They finished the year with a respectable 5-4-1 record and ended up on the losing end of the second-ever Rose Bowl game. SOme of the victories that season included a 3-0 win over Yale and a 39-3 drubbing of Carlisle.
