T.A. Dwight "Tad" Jones was football Head Coach at Phillips Exeter Academy, Syracuse (1909-1910) then Yale (1916, 1920-1927). [Thomas Bergin, The Game: The Harvard-Yale Football Rivalry, 1875 - 1983, Yale University Press, New Haven and London, 1984] Jones lead Yale football to a 5 - 3 - 1 record versus Harvard, and gave the most revered pregame peptalk in Yale athletic history before the 1923 Game. His overall record at Yale was 57 - 15 - 4. [Bergin's book cites the 1917 season was "informal" with the team led by Dr. Arthur E. Brides and Johnny Mack, trainer. That team had a 3 - 0 record.]

Jones quarterbacked Yale to 6 - 0 and 12 - 0 victories versus Harvrd as a junior and senior, respectively, in 1906 and 1907. Yale finished with 9 - 0 - 1 records both years, and he was named an All-American both seasons. [see 1]

Before the 1925 Game, Jones intoned famously, "Gentlemen, you are about to play football against Harvard. Never again may you do something so important." [The New York Times, November 18,1989, by William N. Wallace] That contest ended in a scoreless tie.

Jones's brother was Howard Jones, who coached at Yale, but more famously at USC.
