They're going to have a regular football team at Kendall this year, with a regular coach and regular players. . . . All this should sound mighty good to the athletic-loving folks of Tulsa town, for it means that Kendall college is at last coming into her own." The paper described the newly arrived coach and athletic director as "young, strong and energetic, a splendid athlete himself."Football To Be Given A Boost The Tulsa Daily World September 6, 1912 6 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/4493605/football_to_be_given_a_boost/ On September 27, 1912, the team played the school's first intercollegiate football game since 1909, losing to Oklahoma Methodist University (later known as Oklahoma City University) at Guthrie, Oklahoma, by a 39–6 score.
