William R. Harper, founding president of the University of Chicago, sees his school’s football team as an asset useful to attract students. He pioneers in 1892 by hiring Yale graduate Amos Alonzo Stagg to the combined job of physical education professor and football coach and expresses a desire for winning teams. In California, in 1892, students at the new Stanford University get Camp to come west for a couple of weeks in December to help them develop a winning football team for their “big game” against California. The University of Pennsylvania, similarly ambitious to win in 1892, hires its own paid coach, another former Yale player, George Woodruff, and that year defeats Princeton for the first time in twenty-six games.
