Hanover College Football Review of the 1909 Season
Hanover College faces a 1 win 4 loss record but gains respect for close losses to Cincinnati and St Mary’s. Coach Weber’s work, Captain Allison’s leadership, and strong showings by Miles, Reynolds, Murray, Vancil, Archer, Voris, Nowlin, and Cravens shaped the season. Oxsheer returns as an ex 10 from the class of 1910, visiting Hanover Sunday night.
