Paul E. Landis, Robert Younkins, and Franklin Skibbie were assistant coaches. Harry Crawford was the team captain.[3]

Bowling Green refused to play a post-season game with Toledo after university officials, including coach Steller, witnessed unsportsmanlike conduct in an Armistice Day game between Toledo and Findlay.[4]
