George Ellwood "Doc" Fenton (April 30, 1887 – February 8, 1968) was an American college football player.
He was known as "Doc" because his father traveled as a singer with an old time Indian medicine show.
Fenton later talked about his time at St. Michael's by stating "I got all the fundamentals playing rugby in Toronto.
[3] He started out as an end at Mansfield, but later became a star receiver in 1906, which was the first year of the legal forward pass.
[4] One account reads "In Lally and Fenton the University has a pair that can hardly be equaled.
In the game Fenton showed that he has lost none of his ability to dodge, his swiftness as a runner, his power as a punter and kicker, and his cool hard work.
[10][n 1] The National Football Foundation selected Fenton as a retroactive Heisman Trophy winner of 1908.
[11] Fenton was selected All-Southern by Nash Buckingham in the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
