Arthur Henry Feagin (March 7, 1878 – March 25, 1932) was an American college football player.
Auburn University[edit]
Feagin was a prominent halfback for John Heisman's Auburn Tigers football teams of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. At Auburn he was a member of Phi Delta Theta.[1]
1899[edit]
Feagin was captain[2][3] and All-Southern[4] in 1899. In Heisman's opinion this was his best team while at Auburn.[5] The team was the only one to score on Sewanee's "Iron Men." A report of the game says "Feagin is a player of exceptional ability, and runs with such force that some ground belongs to him on every attempt."[4]
