College Football Hall of Fame profile
. "A human projectile, Harold Weekes participated in one of the most dangerous of all football plays - the "flying hurdle." Mounted on the shoulders of teammates, Weekes was catapulted head-long across the line of scrimmage, landing on his feet and streaking away from the stunned defenders. He was gifted with unique agility and became known for his long- yardage runs. For example, as a freshman in 1899, Harold broke loose and streaked 55 yards to a touchdown that proved the decisive points in a 5-0 upset of previously unbeaten Yale. It was Columbia's first victory over the Elis in 18 seasons. For the next three years, Harold Weekes continued to dazzle enemy defenses, earning All-America honors each season. Walter Camp claimed Weekes "was powerful and fast, and had that certain burst of speed at just the right moment." During Weekes' four-year career at Columbia, the Blue and White won 29 games, 19 by shutout. Following graduation, Weekes worked as a successful broker on the New York Stock Exchange."
Jordan Sprechman; Marty Appel (eds.), "Harold Weekes", The Bill Shannon Biographical Dictionary of New York Sports "A 145-pound lightning bolt from Morristown (N.J.) School, Harold Weekes hit the college football scene like a shot in 1899 when Columbia resumed intercollegiate competition after an eight-year absence."
