Hobey Baker

Born January 15, 1892, in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, was, Princeton’s great quarterback of yesteryear, Hobey Baker. Hobey is described by some, including the NFF as the greatest amateur hockey player ever from the U.S.. Baker was an expert at timing the plummet of a punted ball where he could establish himself to catch it on a dead run and quickly advance it on the return, making it extremely difficult for punt coverage teams to take good angles on him. Not once did he muff or fumble a punt in his career and his longest return was 88 yards. In 1913 Hobey set a Princeton record of 13 punt returns in one game against Yale. His footballfoundation.org bio says that Princeton tied Yale 6-6 in 1912 and 3-3 in 1913, and all Princeton points in those two games were Hobey Baker dropkick field goals, with the longest one being 41 yards. Hobey Baker was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1975.
