Godfrey, William S.


Accolades

"How Mt. A. roared, and when Godfrey scored
The fans just lost their head
They went clean wild, and they acted the child;
You would too, if you weren't dead
For the game was done and Mt. A. had won
And the old rink rang with cheers,
Those who heard the roar for Mt. A.'s last score
Will remember the same for years."

(The Argosy, vol. XL, no. 6, Mar. 1914, extract from poem "The Game", by [Howard] Archer, class of 1917, p. 340)


"I can remember Bill Godfrey. Bill Godfrey was a great athlete. He was the greatest athlete Mount A. ever had, in my time anyway."

(Interview with Judge William John West, class of 1920, 26 November 1979)
