The 1891 football team was hastily organized and played a four-game season beginning in January 1892 with no official head coach. Following the season, Stanford captain John Whittemore wrote to legendary Yale coach Walter Camp asking him to recommend a coach for Stanford. To Whittemore's surprise, Camp agreed to coach the team himself, on the condition that he finish the season at Yale first.Migdol Gary Stanford: Home of Champions 11–13 https://books.google.com/books?id=BOl08FmEDIMC&pg=PA11 Sports Publishing LLC 1997 1-57167-116-1 May 6, 2014 As a result of Camp's late arrival, Stanford played just three official games, against San Francisco's Olympic Club and rival California.
