Game summaries edit

North Carolina edit

In the first game of the season, Davidson and the Tar Heels fought to a scoreless tie in Charlotte.

Georgia edit

In 1906, the Davidson football team made history. Prior to a game against Georgia, the Davidson coaching staff took note of the new rule that made a forward pass a legal play. During the game, the team completed several short passes over the middle and ended up winning 15–0. Fuzzy Woodruff gives the team credit for being the first team in the South to complete a forward pass in his book, "The History of Southern Football."[10]

The starting lineup was Sadler (left end), Walker (left tackle), Sentz (left guard), Edgerton (center), Spicer (right guard), Allen (right tackle), Huntington (right end), Elliott (quarterback), Miller (left halfback), Denny (right halfback), McKay (fullback).[10]
