W. T. Henry


W. T. Henry was an American football coach, and the fourth head coach of Harding College, in 1927. The season was a disastrous 0-8-1.
The season began with only three of the previous year's players showing up for practice. One of those was fourth-year player Clyde "Doc" Matthews, who was the "player/coach" from the year before. The other two veterans to show up were "Tate" Mills and "Swede" Patton. The Harding yearbook The Petit Jean wrote:
