3 unusual facts about Lindley Bothwell


Lindley Bothwell

The spirit with which he led the student section of OAC reached many people, including Notre Dame's head football coach Knute Rockne.

Rockne was so impressed with Bothwell that he asked him to be an honorary cheerleader for the Fighting Irish in their upcoming Rose Bowl game with Stanford, a request that Bothwell was more than happy to agree to.

In addition to his studies and involvement with organizations on campus, Bothwell was a varsity member of the baseball team, and was good enough to be offered a $10,000 signing bonus to play for the Pittsburgh Pirates, an offer he turned down so that he could continue his education.
