The 1925 Haskell team traveled across the country, including games in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Spokane, Washington, and Richmond, Virginia, and was described as having earned "the title of most-traveled team."[1] The team reportedly traveled 45,000 miles from 1923 to 1925.[2] Haskell played only one home game during the 1925 season, that one taking place at Lawrence High School.[3] After the 1925 season, Haskell built its own football stadium, Haskell Memorial Stadium, at a cost of approximately $200,000.[4]

Mayes McLain played for Haskell during the 1925 and 1926 seasons. In 1926, he set the all-time college football scoring record with 253 points on 38 touchdowns, 19 extra point kicks, and two field goals.[5]
