Description: The 1907 football team achieved what few other collegiate teams ever have been able to do. It was undefeated, untied and un-scored upon. The team was coached by Fred S. Norcross (back row, right), who had played at the University of Michigan under renowned coach Fielding Yost. Norcross coached the 1906 through 1908 teams, compiling an overall record of 14-4-3. Among the team's six victories in 1907 were wins over Willamette University (42-0), Pacific University (49-0), the University of Oregon (4-0), and west coast powerhouse St. Vincent College (10-0). OAC traveled for the first time to Los Angeles to play St. Vincent on Thanksgiving Day, and with the win, secured the Pacific Coast championship.
