Biography

Stahl was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He played high school football in Greensburg, Pennsylvania and at Bellefonte Academy in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania.[1][2]

Stahl enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh, where he played four years of football under coach ”Pop” Warner. Stahl was a member of the Pitt Panthers teams from 1915–1918. During Stahl’s time at Pitt, the Panthers were undefeated and ran up a 33-game winning streak before losing to Syracuse by a score of 24–3 in 1919.[3]

Pitt's undefeated 1917 team was known as "The Fighting Dentists" because on occasion every position was filled by dental students.[4] The dental students on the 1917 team included Stahl,[5] Katy Easterday,[6] Skip Gougler,[7] "Tank" McLaren,[8] and Jock Sutherland.[9]

In 1918, Stahl was selected as a second-team All-American by Walter Camp and Robert "Tiny" Maxwell.[10][11]

After graduating from Pitt, Stahl played professional football for the Cleveland Tigers (1920–1921) and the Dayton Triangles (1921).[2]

After retiring as a player, Stahl became the head football coach at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. In 1922, The New York Times reported that Stahl “has had charge of the Duquesne University teams here for the last two seasons with satisfactory results.”[12] Stahl’s Duquesne Dukes teams compiled records of 3–3–1 in 1920 and 0–4–1 in 1921.[13]

After retiring from football, Stahl practiced dentistry in Hampton, Pennsylvania.[5] He also officiated at high school and college football games for 40 years and was a member of the Eastern Intercollegiate Football Officials Association.[5] Stahl was also a membef or the Elks and the Butler Country Club.[5]

Stahl died in October 1966 at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh.[5] Stahl was survived by two brothers and was buried at St. Mary Cemetery in Hampton, Pennsylvania.[5]
