Photograph of Ernie Nevers and Glenn S. “Pop” Warner on a football field.
Original note reads: Who was the greatest Ernie or Jim?
Nevers and Thorpe are connected because both were coached by “Pop” Warner. Thorpe competed under Warner while both were at the Carlisle Indian School, while Nevers was coached by Warner during Warner’s time at Stanford University in the mid-1920s.
