Oscar Carl "Ockie" Anderson (October 15, 1894 – January 25, 1962) was an American football player and coach.

When he raced back five yards and turned, he usually found his man with one quick glance and then heaved the ball to within a few feet of where he was.

Colgate beat strong teams from Illinois (15–3), Syracuse (15–0), and Brown (28–0), but lost a close game against Yale (7–3) in New Haven.

[3] At the end of the 1916 season, Anderson was selected as a first-team All-American by Walter Camp, the International News Service, and The Boston Post.

He's fast, a good groundgainer both through the line and in the open, and he can boot the ball when called upon to do so, although several other members of his team did their share of toeing the pigskin this year.

He feeds his backs in faultless style, the result being that Colgate did not fumble at Yale, only once against Illinois, and that on a direct pass, and not once against Syracuse and Brown.

Anderson has played against some of the best quarterbacks of the year, Macomber of Illinois, Smith of Yale and Meehan of Syracuse.

In February 1917, The Washington Post ran a feature story on Anderson's diverse athletic abilities.

The Post wrote:"As is the case with most football men of unusual abilltv, Carl Anderson, of Colgate, all-American quarterback by almost universal choice, is a great all-around athlete.

However, he is so anxious to overcome this and to make his letter in five sports that he now has reported for the hockey team and will give up track work in the spring in favor of baseball.

Though individual statistics for the 1920 season are unofficial, historical accounts indicate that Anderson scored 11 touchdowns and either 69 or 71 points.
