Biography
A native of Hyattsville, Maryland,[2] Cooke enrolled at the Maryland Agricultural College (now the University of Maryland) in 1897.[3] He played on the football team from 1897 to 1899 as a fullback.[4][5] In the 1898 game against Western Maryland, Cooke performed the dubious feat of kicking a punt from midfield over his head and backwards 25 yards. The opponent scored a touchdown shortly thereafter.[6] The following season, the team elected Cooke as captain, but he suffered a broken arm in the first game against Western Maryland. By Thanksgiving, he returned to the sport, playing for the Hyattsville town team.[7] Cooke left the college before graduating and went to work for the Potomac Electric Power Company in Washington, D.C.[3] He married Mary née Ward on March 28, 1910.[3]
