1907 Latrobe Athletic Association season
American football team season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1907 Latrobe Athletic Association season was their twelfth season in existence. The decrease in community interest and the change of the team from the professional ranks to a local amateur status in 1907 coincided with John Brallier's last year as a player. The team finished 5â3â2 or 5â2â2[a] in 1907.

Leadership
Prior to the start of the season, Latrobe's veteran captain Harry Ryan retired as a player and took on the role of co-head coach with John Brallier, who also held the position of manager.[1] Leo Gibson succeeded Ryan as captain.[2] It was arranged that Brallier would handle coaching duties every third week or when Ryan was working the night shift at the steel plant.[3]

Game notes
- The Latrobe Bulletin reported that the season ended after the November 28 (Thanksgiving) game vs. Sterling,[6] and dismissed the November 30 game vs. Lyceum as having been played by a "patched up conglomeration [of Latrobe and Sterling AC players] styling itself as the Latrobe team".[7] Yearly game results compiled by Robert B. Van Atta do not include the Lyceum game.[4]
- Game was billed as being against the Altoona Athletic Club, but was really against the Altoona Area High School football team.[4]
