zoneranger Posted January 15, 2005 Author Share Posted January 15, 2005 No, it's not the Carlisle Indian. This gentleman is responsible for the invention of shoulder pads and numbers on player's jerseys in football. Some of you may even have played in "his league" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoneranger Posted January 15, 2005 Author Share Posted January 15, 2005 During his four decades as a coach, Warner brought many innovations to college football, including the spiral punt, the screen play, single- and double-wing formations, the naked reverse, the three-point stance, numbering players' jerseys, and the use of shoulder and thigh pads. But to many Americans, Warner is best remembered for starting the Pop Warner Youth Football League in 1929. On September 7, 1954, Pop Warner died in Palo Alto, California.
