John Dalton
Born April 1, 1889, in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, was the great Naval Academy halfback from 1908 to 1911 John Dalton arrived into this life. The National Football Foundation's bio on John shares he twice kicked field goals to defeat arch rival Army. His 35-yard kick in 1910 gave the Midshipmen a 3-0 victory and unbeaten record in a season when Navy held every opponent scoreless. The next year, it was another 3-0 Navy victory over Army on an identical Dalton 35-yard field goal. It was Dalton's final game and when it ended he had this emotional tribute to his teammates: "Boys, this is the proudest moment of my life, because I led a group of fighters to victory." John played prep school ball in St. Louis and attended Christian Brothers College there before his appointment to the Naval Academy.
