Origin of the Huddle Tactics At Emporia Kansas
H. W. Hargiss, longtime Emporia Teachers College mentor, is credited with first using the huddle in football. He recounts witnessing a McMinnville high school quarterback signal plays by removing his helmet. Hargiss began testing the idea in 1920 with the Oregon Aggies and says no coach before him used the system on the West Coast. He rose as a Kansas conference figure, coaching at Marion, College of Emporia, Kansas, and Oregon Aggies before joining Emporia Teachers as athletic director and head coach. His team won the Kansas conference football championship last year.
