This is not true. Teddy was not held back, he was "re-classified" so that he would have a better chance of making varsity. He was an 1887 but was really a 1886 with the "re-classification."


He was highly criticized for it initially, he said at first it was a Rough Ride, but overall he was glad he did it


What? You mean he plays for the Rough Riders? Dude, you shouldn't be calling out kids by name on a pubic forum!
