After winning the football championship of Dayton and Southern Ohio in 1913, the Saint Mary's Cadets, predecessors of the Dayton Triangles, faced an uphill battle to repeat in 1914. Injuries and defections took their toll. The 1914 season was also noteworthy for the arrival of center George Kinderdine, who would be an anchor for the Cadets and Triangles throughout the latter team's history. The episode also covers Nelson "Bud" Talbott's senior year at Yale, and Norb Sacksteder's amazing performance that caught the attention of "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" almost two decades after he turned it in.
