Deed Harris
Leo Faller "Deed" Harris (June 6, 1876 – May 28, 1961) was an American sportsman who coached, scouted, and refereed football, baseball, and basketball. In 1917, he was the last coach of the Carlisle Indians football team. J.S. Steckbeck states that the team was forced to travel far off the Carlisle Barracks campus for practice because of a measles epidemic, lost practice time, and the result was that the team closed the season with 2 wins and 7 loses. In reality, the poor season was likely the inexperienced and young players. Pop Warner visited Carlisle in September 1917 to help prepare the squad and commented "not to expect great things from the team" and a "great football team cannot be developed in one season." It is unknown how the nickname "Deed" originated but it was used by J.S. Steckbeck in his book ''Fabulous Redmen''. Harris is incorrectly referred to as "D.D. Harris" in Anderson's book Carlisle vs. Army. Harris was called a local “football authority” due to his inv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
