1898 Lincoln Tigers football team

American college football season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1898 Lincoln Tigers football team represented Lincoln Institute—now known as Lincoln University—in Jefferson City, Missouri as an independent during the 1898 college football season. This was one of the first years that Lincoln fielded a football team. The Tigers of Lincoln played two games during the season, against Garrison High School, and George R. Smith College.[1] Lincoln's rivalry with George R. Smith lasted until 1925, when the latter college burned down.[2] The first coach of Lincoln's team was professor G. F. Smith, while the first captain was Oscar Spencer.
