Pedro "Pete" Calac

Pedro "Pete" Calac (1892-1960) arrived at the famous Carlisle Industrial Indian School for Native American Indians in November of 1908.

He was 15 years old at the time, and played football for the school.

Carlisle School for American Indians
CALIE is compiling a historical Web portal for research into what happened circa 1850-1930...

PROFESSIONAL SPORTS

After Carslile, Mr. Calac played professional football in the Ohio League and during the early years of the National Football League. During his successful 10-year professional sports career, the gifted athlete played for top American teams as the Canton Bulldogs, Cleveland Indians, Washington Senators, Oorang Indians and the Buffalo Bisons.

Pete played alongside such great American Indian players as Jim Thorpe (also a Carlisle football star).

AMERICAN WAR VETERAN

A WW I U.S. Army veteran, Mr. Calac served with the Wild West Division, 91st Division, in Belgium and France.
