Naming of Woodruff a Loss to Football
The appointment of George W Woodruff to a Federal judgeship in Hawaii removes from football one of the sport's most resourceful strategists. A Yale graduate, Woodruff transformed Pennsylvania football, beating Princeton in 1892 and 1894 and winning most Harvard games. He innovated guards back plays, the quarterback kick, and delayed pass, shifted ends in to disrupt opponents, and insisted centers were active tacklers, shaping Penn's strength for two decades.
