Career highlights and awards

Ralph Vernon Scott (born September 26, 1894 in Dewey , Wisconsin , USA , † August 16, 1936 in Hardin , Montana ) was an American football player and coach . Among other things, he played as a guard for the Chicago Bears in the National Football League (NFL).

Player and coach career

Ralph Scott studied from 1917 to 1920 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison , for whose football team , the Wisconsin Badgers , he was used in various positions. In 1920 he was voted All-American . In 1917, 1919 and 1920 he was also recognized by his college for his athletic achievements. In 1921 he signed a professional contract with the George Halas- trained Chicago Staleys , renamed the Chicago Bears the following year. The Staleys played in the American Professional Football Association (APFA), which had been founded a year earlier and was renamed the National Football League in 1922 .

Chicago Bears, 1924

The Staleys were able to make nine out of eleven games victorious in 1921 and thus won the championship title in the APFA. Scott retired from Chicago after the 1925 season . Although the Bears remained a top team in the NFL even after their first title win, Scott was unable to win another title. In 1926 he joined the New York Yankees , which had been founded the previous year by Red Grange . The Yankees played in the American Football League (AFL) and were runner-up in the league in 1926. With Grange, the later members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Red Badgro , Ray Flaherty and Mike Michalske, were also part of the Yankees' team. Scott also acted as player-coach in 1927 for the team that moved to the NFL that year as the AFL had to cease playing. After an unsuccessful 1927 season, Ralph Scott retired from professional football. He committed suicide in 1936 .
