Ben Ticknor

Benjamin Holt Ticknor II (January 9, 1909 – September 12, 1979) was an American college football player.

He was equally gifted in baseball; as a Crimson outfielder, he led the team in batting in 1930 and set Harvard's then- career home-run record (13).

Ticknor won the university's Wingate Trophy (presented annually to the highest scorer in safe arrivals at first, stolen bases, sacrifice hits, and total runs) in 1930 and Wendell Bat in 1931.

[5] Harvard football did not see its success of old during Ticknor's era, but he relished the beatings of rival Yale.
