1933 Football Team

"Athletics can do a great deal for a man - teach lessons which must be learned somehow, sometime." - Earl Stitt US '33 C '37

Undefeated, untied, and never scored upon during regular season play, the 1933 football team’s perfect season was a proud first for Principia.

Led by Coach Bert Clark, the team’s success resulted in many individual honors, including nine players achieving All-Conference recognition.
