Ben Ticknor
Benjamin Holt Ticknor was an American football player. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954. Ticknor was a prominent center for the Harvard Crimson, known especially for his play on defense. He was captain of the 1930 team. Harvard did not see its success of old during Ticknor's era, but he relished the beatings of rival Yale.
Ben Ticknor was the son of William Davis Ticknor, Sr. and Ella Frances Wattles. Thus his grandfather was another Benjamin Holt Ticknor and his great-grandfather another William Davis Ticknor.
