Early years

Edwin Beswick "Ted" Shultz was born on November 24, 1893 in Logansport, Indiana to Dr. John Beswick Shultz and Anna L. Cooper. He attended Logansport High School.[1]

Washington and Lee

Football

Shultz was a prominent All-American tackle for the Washington & Lee Generals of Washington & Lee University from 1912 to 1915.[2] He was renowned for his size at the time, somewhere between 6 feet 2 inches and 6 feet 4 inches.[3]

1912

Shultz was the only freshman to make the varsity this season.[4] Shultz and captain Buck Miles were the tackles, a duo which "scintillated."[5]

1914

Shultz was a member of the undefeated SAIAA champion 1914 team, which secured a share of the title when it finished the season with a victory over North Carolina A & M.[6] The team included College Football Hall of Fame inductee Harry "Cy" Young.

An account of the 10 to 0 victory over Swarthmore that year reads "Left tackle Ted Shultz starred for the victors making long gains on forward passes and effecting tackles that checked Swarthmore."[7]

1915

He was captain of W&L's 1915 team.[6][8] During World War I, he played for Camp Jackson.

Basketball

Shultz also played on the basketball team.

Denver

Shultz was once a secretary for the YMCA in Denver, Colorado,[9] and coached the freshman team of the University of Denver.[10][11]

gollark: 3x3 is only two (bad) dimensions.
gollark: This counts as a win. It's easy to understand why if you see it in 3D, which you can't in this, muahahaha.
gollark: This is a "3D diagonal", by the way.
gollark: Technically possible but it would look weird.
gollark: That's absolutely not how it would work, and it would be harder to use because of stuff obscuring stuff behind it.
