William G. Little of Livingston, Ala., had been introduced to football during his days as a student at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. The untimely death of his brother forced Little to return home to help take care of the rest of his family. He enrolled at the University of Alabama for the fall semester of 1892 and he encouraged his schoolmates into participating in the rugby-like sport called football.
Little served as captain of the first Alabama team which was coached by E.B. Beaumont. Alabama won its first game 56-0 over a Birmingham High School unit on November 11, 1892. |
