Brittain coached Porters Redskins before WW II and later mentored local youths in Baker Park, aiding the struggling program that inspired Frederick High School football's return.

Touching All The Bases West End Blues to Senecas in Frederick’s war era football
The Frederick Senecas formed in 1943 from West End Blues and East Third Street teams, fielding 22 players in a sparse era. They practiced at Baker Park, used a paperhanger truck and borrowed gear from Porters Redskins, with Dr Eddie Thomas as team physician. Games were away due to gas shortages, crowds grew to 400 or 500, and players dressed in a boathouse after early home setups.
