An outstanding center at WVU from 1915-19, Russ Bailey ranks as one of the finest offensive linemen ever to wear the Gold & Blue. Born September 3, 1899, in Weston, W.Va., Bailey came to the University with Ira Errett Rodgers and Andrew "Rip" King in 1915. That trio helped the Mountaineers to 24 victories over the next five years including an 8-2 record in 1919.
