He served as the head football coach at the University of Kentucky for one season in 1897.[2] A four-year letter winner at the University of Cincinnati, Eaton arrived at Kentucky one day before their first game. The team, frustrated by a lack of practice time, protested for 10 days in the middle of the season. Eaton left Kentucky after one dismal season with the intent of continuing his education at the Cincinnati medical college. On his second day of studies, he was injured trying to enter a car and died.[3]
