Roscoe H. Channing, Jr. (January 7, 1868 – April 1, 1961)[1] was an All-American football player, member of the Rough Riders and mining executive. Channing was an All-American halfback for Princeton University. He was one of eleven players selected by Caspar Whitney for the first ever College Football All-America Team in 1889.[2] When the Spanish–American War commenced in 1898, Channing enlisted in Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders. Roosevelt took pride in how many Ivy League football players enlisted in the Rough Riders.[3][4] Channing later went into the mining business and managed the mining operations of the Whitney family.[5] In the 1920s, he formed a partnership with his friend Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney.[6] The two formed the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Company in Flin Flon, Saskatchewan, Canada, and Channing served as the company's President.[7] Channing died in 1961.[7]
