American college football season
The 1919 Phillips Haymakers football team represented Phillips University during the 1919 college football season . John Maulbetsch arranged a game against the Texas Longhorns in 1919, the first meeting between the schools. When the game was announced The San Antonio Light reported: "Phillips University has one of the strongest teams in the Southwest . The only team to beat them in the past two years is Oklahoma and last year Phillips beat the Sooners 13–7."[1] The report credited Maulbetsch for securing success at an institution little known in athletics before he arrived.[1] The University of Texas had not lost a game since 1917 when the Phillips "Haymakers" arrived in Austin, Texas on October 11, 1919. Maulbetsch's team shocked the Longhorns, holding them scoreless and winning the contest, 10–0.[2] One Texas newspaper reported that Phillips had "whitewashed the Longhorns in their own corral."[3]
