James John Quill was an American football player and coach. He was a graduate of both Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts and the Yale Law School.[1] Quill's hit on Francis Burr in the 1905 Harvard–Yale football game was a catalyst for major reforms in the game of college football.[2] He served as the head football coach at Sewanee: The University of the South in 1906, compiling a record of 8–1.[3]
