Cub Buck Career

Early life and college playing career

Buck was born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, on August 7, 1892. He attended high school and was named as a center in Wisconsin's all-state prep squad. He appeared on and off for the Wisconsin Badgers from 1913 to 1915, never missing a game and has received three All-Western Conference awards.

Coaching and professional playing career

Buck spent time as an assistant football coach at Wisconsin in 1916 after graduating. He played for the Canton Bulldogs for the first time in that year. Because his parents didn't want him to play professionally, especially on Sundays, Buck went under assumed name Moriarity. During the week and for games on Saturday, Buck coached in Wisconsin, then travelled to the Bulldogs' game site on Sunday.

Buck was hired as the head football coach and athletic director at Carleton College in 1917 at the age of 25. In three years of teaching through World War I and the 1918 influenza pandemic, he and his teams were 10–7. In 1920, Jim Thorpe and the Bulldogs became teammates for the first year of the American Professional Football Association. Buck was dubbed the best lineman he had ever played with or against.

In 1920, Buck played in the Green Bay Packers' last game of their season, bringing an extra game. The Packers were recruited into the National Football League in 1921, the first professional league to be known as the National Football League. (NFL). Curly Lambeau made Buck the first Packer with a guaranteed salary by paying him $75 per game. That year was the first Green Bay–Chicago game, and it was also the first cheap shot of the storied rivalry. Taylor's nose was broken when he slugged Buck.

During the 1925-19th season, Buck played for the Packers. Buck was the punter and placekicker, who played both sides of the line. Buck made 24 of 35 extra points and 10 of 28 field goals for a total of 54 points from 1922 to 1925. In 1923, he led the Packers in scoring and threw a touchdown pass in 1924. Buck coached for the Lawrence Vikings, mainly as an assistant, but he was the head coach for the 1923 season when he was playing for the Packers. He was also the executive director of the Boy Scouts in Appleton.

Buck was the first head coach of the Miami Hurricanes football program in 1926. A hurricane wreaked havoc on the under-construction stadium and postponed the season's debut. The first team was a freshman squad, with two losses of the University of Havana, one in Miami, and one in Havana. The Hurricanes were 3–6–1 in 1927 and 4–4–1 in 1928 during the first two varsity seasons.
