Mr. Football: Amos Alonzo Stagg

Amos Alonzo Stagg through Stagg's younger son who coached at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, where Lucia was newspapering. Lucia recalls that it became routine for Alonzo and Stella Stagg to journey north to visit their son and grandchildren, the visits often timed to coincide with spring training, so that he might give his son an unofficial hand. Stagg had a unique thing going for a few years as he spent the fall seasons assisting his other son at Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania, where they were both under contract.
