Halfback George Collins was the team's leading scorer with seven touchdowns for 42 points. Makeever ranked second with 31 points on three touchdowns, two field goals, and seven extra-point kicks.[3] Collins sustained a fractured jaw in the second quarter of the final game of the season against Cornell, played the entire second half with the injury, and led the team to a comeback victory. Collins was hailed in The Coe College Cosmos as "the greatest half-back who ever wore a Crimson uniform."[4]
The team played home games at Coe Field in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Professor C. W. Perkins first proposed the "Kohawks" fight name during the 1922 season.[5] It did not go into effect until the 1928 season. The team had previously been called the "Warriors" and the "Crimson".
