Sanford Brownell "Sammy" White (May 4, 1888 – April 11, 1964) was an American football and baseball player.

He scored every point for the Tigers in their 1911 victories over Harvard and Yale, leading the team to the eastern college football championship.

At Princeton, he became a four-sport star, competing in football, baseball, basketball, and track.

[1] In the summer of 1909, he played for the Hyannis town team in what is now the Cape Cod Baseball League.

[8] In Princeton's 8–6 victory over Harvard on November 4, 1911, White was responsible for all eight points scored by the Tigers.

He blocked a field goal attempt by Harvard and then picked up the loose ball and returned it 95 yards for a touchdown.

White reportedly "hurled himself at the Harvard man in a fierce tackle and threw him back over the goal line for a safety that won the game for Princeton.

[9][10] The Boston Globe led its story on the game with a front-page headline, "TIGERS' FOOTBALL HERO FOR PRESIDENT.

Once out in front he runs like the wind, looks neither to the right nor left, but with his nose pointing toward the enemy's goal his cleets tear up the muddy turf and he runs faster and faster until, the leather tucked under his arm in a vise-like grip, he plants it behind the line and wins the game.

"[12] At the end of the 1911 season, White was chosen as a first-team All-American on the teams selected by, among others, Walter Camp,[13] The New York Globe,[14] Tommy Clark,[15] Wilton S. Farnsworth,[16] Henry L. Williams,[17] Charles Chadwick,[18] Baseball Magazine,[19] and The Christian Science Monitor.
