Caius Hunter Carpenter played halfback for Virginia Tech from 1900 through 1903, played at North Carolina in 1904, and came back to Tech in 1905. It was his sixth season, and he was elected captain. Carpenter played for a different coach in each of his six seasons. He is credited with providing the leadership in a 1905 season that gave the school a 9-1 record, the best in school's history up to that time. Virginia Tech beat Army, North Carolina, Virginia and South Carolina, and lost only to Navy 12-6. That 1905 season Tech outscored its opponents 305-24, and Carpenter scored 82 points. In five seasons at Virginia Tech he scored 233 points. He died in 1953 at age 69.
