Bill Horr
Tackle • 1908
The first All-American in the history of Syracuse football, Horr anchored a young offensive line on a team that opened the newly-built Archbold Stadium with a win against Hobart in 1907. The next year, Horr led the Orange to a 6-3-1 record and the first victory in school history against a team from the Western Conference (now Big Ten) when SU topped Michigan 28-4 in the season finale. At the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, Horr won a silver medal in the Greek-style discus throw and a bronze in the free-style discus throw. Horr served as the head football coach at Northwestern in 1909 and at Purdue from 1910 to 1912, compiling a career record of 9-14-2.
