Wallace C. "Wallie" Winter was a college football player and coach. He served as the head football coach at the University of Minnesota for the 1893 Golden Gophers season, leading the team to a 6–0 overall record including 3–0 in Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the Northwest league play. He had been an All-American tackle at Yale University and was known for working the players extremely hard, to the point that "they considered the actual games to be breathers compared to the scrimmages."[1]: 4  but agreed to the conditions as long as he could act as the referee.[2]: 5
