G. HERBERT MCCRACKEN coached Lafayette for 12 seasons (1924-35) and guided the Leopards to the 1926 National Championship with a perfect 9-0 record. His place in football history will forever be known as the inventor of the huddle. As documented in The New York Times, Coach McCracken devised the first huddle system after discovering that the Penn football team had been scouting and decoding Lafayette's hand signals. Lafayette became the first team to huddle before each offensive play and his practice was immediately adopted by other teams across the nation.
