Hall Terry Snoddy (March 18, 1899 – ?)[1] also known as Terry Snowday was an American college football player.
Early years
[edit | edit source]Hall Terry Snoddy was born on March 18, 1899, in Owensboro, Kentucky, to Carey Snoddy and Ruth Hall.
Centre College
[edit | edit source]
Snoddy was a prominent end and halfback for the Centre Praying Colonels of Centre College in Danville, Kentucky; a member of two of its most famous teams in 1919 and 1921. Snoddy was selected to at least one All-Southern team every year he played.[2]
1919
[edit | edit source]The 1919 team went undefeated and was named a national champion by Sagarin.
1921
[edit | edit source]The 1921 team beat Harvard 6–0 in one of the greatest upsets in college football history.[3][4] One account reads "Snoddy, Centre's left halfback, was literally a "John-on-the-spot" in getting under the ball. And it was Snoddy who gained when the gaining counted, by his superior speed."[5] The Colonels then played a postseason bowl game against Texas A&M known as the 1922 Dixie Classic. Snoddy scored Centre's first touchdown in the game. Centre would lose 22 to 14.
1922
[edit | edit source]In 1922 he changed his name to Snowday, the original Scottish spelling.[6]
