Bio on each coach - Bachman and Hanley -
Charles William Bachman, Jr. (December 1, 1892 – December 14, 1985) was an American college football player and head coach. Bachman was an Illinois native and an alumnus of the University of Notre Dame, where he played college football. He served as the head football coach of Northwestern University, Kansas State College, the University of Florida, Michigan State College, and Hillsdale College. Bachman was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1978.
Richard Edgar Hanley (November 19, 1894 – December 16, 1970) was an American football player and coach. Hanley played quarterback for Washington State, including in the 1916 Rose Bowl victory over Brown. During his four years at WSU the Cougars were 22-4-1. He is notable for also having played in the Rose Bowl for the Mare Island Marines, one of the few players to have played in the Rose Bowl for two different teams. He served as the head football coach at Haskell Institute—now known as Haskell Indian Nations University from 1922 to 1926 and at Northwestern University from 1927 to 1934, compiling a career college football coaching record of 83–35–8. During World War II, he was a major in the United States Marine Corps where he helped train the Marines. In 1946, he coached the first three games of the season for the Chicago Rockets of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC).
