Albion Methodists football, 1910–1919

The Albion Methodists football program, 1910–1919 (later known as the Albion Britons) represented Albion College in American football during the school's fourth decade of college football. The team competed as a member of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA). Highlights of the decade include the following:

Walter S. Kennedy, who had been the quarterback and captain of the University of Chicago's football teams in 1898 and 1899, was Albion's head coach for most of the decade. Kennedy stepped down as Albion's coach in May 1913 to devote his efforts to his job as editor of the Albion Evening Recorder.[1] Thomas Andrew Gill and Otto Carpell took over the post in 1913 and 1914, respectively. After the 1914 Albion team compiled a 1–6 record, Kennedy returned in 1915 as Albion's football coach.[2] In 1918, Albion added Charles M. Guyselman as coach along with Kennedy.[3] Albion credits Kennedy and Guyselman as co-coaches for the 1918 and 1919 seasons.[4]

The team played its home games at Winter-Lau Field (1900–1913) and Alumni Field (1914–1971).
