There have been several notable George Allens. Three of whom coached a college football team. The most famous of those being Senator George Allen’s father (who also was a longtime NFL coach).

The George Allen referred to in post 40 is most probably this George Allen. who had his own unique footnote in football history.

George Edward Allen (February 29, 1896 – April 23, 1973) was an American political operative who was involved in a famous football game while in college.

Allen was the head football coach for Cumberland College Bulldogs in Lebanon, Tennessee for one game in 1916. Cumberland University suffered the greatest loss in the history of college football to Georgia Tech by a score of 222 to 0.

In the 1920s he managed hotel properties in Washington, D.C., eventually drifting into politics and serving President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Democratic Party.

On behalf of the Red Cross, Allen made a number of trips to England and Europe where, in the 1940s, he and Dwight D. Eisenhower developed a friendship that grew over the ensuing years. Allen also served as a director of the War Damage Corporation, a government effort to provide insurance against war-related damage. He was an advisor to President Harry Truman, serving as manager of his vice-presidential campaign and accepting an appointment as director of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in 1946.

During that Cumberland-Georgia Tech game, the local newspaper had a young reporter on-site telephoning periodic reports back to the sports desk. Understandably, his editor couldn't believe the surrealistic scores he was hearing, so he went over to the game himself to see it in-person and find out what his reporter was drinking.

Seeing is believing.
