A. King Dickson

Alexander King Dickson Jr. (August 11, 1876 – November 4, 1938) was an American college football coach, lawyer and banker. He served as the head football coach at Nevada State University—now known as the University of Nevada, Reno—for one season, in 1899, leading Nevada State to it second consecutive winning season, with a 3–2 record. The three wins were against the Pacific Tigers, Santa Clara, and San Jose Normal; the two losses were versus California and Stanford. According to the 1901 yearbook Artemesia, "They (the team) were not strong enough to beat Berkeley or Stanford, but they scored a touchdown...(against) the latter."

gollark: There really is a Nobody, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Nobody is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Nobody is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Nobody added, or GNU/Nobody. All the so-called "Nobody" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Nobody.
