Peter Delome Overfield (April 12, 1874[1] – July 1, 1959[2]) was an All-American and professional football player, federal judge and rancher.
The 1901 Homestead team consisted of former college football All-Americans, including Overfield, Bemus Pierce (Carlisle) and Arthur Poe (Princeton).
Their line could not hold the fast onslaught of the Western contingent, and after the first ten minutes of play a lack of good physical condition began to assert itself.
… The 5,000 spectators present shivered through thirty minute halves and at no time during the game was a real opportunity offered to get enthusiastic over the work of Wallace's [Philadelphia's captain] team.
In 1923, Princeton head coach William Roper named Overfield as the center on his All-Time All-Eastern football team.
Roper wrote, "Pete Overfield would be ideally equipped to act as pivot on any team today just as he was when he played for Pennsylvania twenty-odd years ago.
