Marshall "Ma" Newell (April 2, 1871 – December 24, 1897) was an American college football player and coach, "beloved by all those who knew him" and nicknamed "Ma" for the guidance he gave younger athletes.[1] After his sudden and early death, Harvard University's Newell Boathouse was built in his memory. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1957.
