He played the end and tackle positions for the Georgia Tech Golden Tornado football team of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Fincher was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a player in 1974. Early yearsFincher was born in Spring Place, Georgia. He attended old Tech High School in Atlanta, Georgia.[1] Georgia TechFincher attended Georgia Institute of Technology, graduating with a mechanical engineering degree in 1921. At school, he played football, basketball, and ran track.[2] He was a prominent tackle and end for the Georgia Tech Golden Tornado football teams. Fincher could play any position on the line in the complicated Heisman shift offense.[3] He made a record 122 of 136 PAT attempts.[4] He stood 6 feet tall and weighed 182 pounds.[4] He was nominated though not selected for an Associated Press All-Time Southeast 1869-1919 era team.[5] Fincher had a glass eye which he would covertly pull out after feigning an injury, turn to his opponents and say: "So that's how you want to play!"[6] 1916Fincher was a substitute for the 222 to 0 rout of Cumberland in 1916. 1917He was a starter for the 1917 national championship team. The 1917 team was Tech's first national championship and outscored opponents 491 to 17, and for many years it was considered the greatest football team the South ever produced.[7] Fincher kicked 49 extra points.[8] 1918He was a consensus All-American in 1918, a year in which he was captain. 1920In 1920 he made Walter Camp's first team All-American, a rarity for a player from the South. One writer said Fincher "seemingly ate ten-penny nails" and "was the 'meanest' lineman I ever witnessed in action." A story goes that he sought to knock Bo McMillin out of the Centre–Tech game, taking with him brass-knuckles or "something equally diabolical."[9] Before the game, Fincher said "You're a great player Bo...I feel awful sorry about it because you are not going to be in there very long—about three minutes."[10] Fincher also once held a charging Model-T for no gain.[11] The yearbook remarks "Bill began his great work on the sand lots of Tech Hi here in Atlanta years ago and ended it up by smearing "Fatty" Warren of the Auburn Tigers all over the flats of Grant Field on Turkey Day last."[12] CoachingFincher was head coach of a college football team for one season. In 1921, he led the William & Mary Indians football team to a 4–3–1 record. In 1927, he was a line coach at his alma mater, Georgia Tech.[13] Head coaching record{{CFB Yearly Record Start | type = coach | team = | conf = | bowl = | poll = no }}{{CFB Yearly Record Subhead| name = William & Mary Indians | conf = South Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Association | startyear = 1921 | endyear = single }}{{CFB Yearly Record Entry | championship = | year = 1921 | name = William & Mary | overall = 4–3–1 | conference = 1–3–1 | confstanding = 11th | bowlname = | bowloutcome = | bcsbowl = | ranking = no | ranking2 = no }}{{CFB Yearly Record Subtotal | name = William & Mary | overall = 4–3–1 | confrecord = 1–3–1 }}{{CFB Yearly Record End | overall = 4–3–1 | bowls = no | poll = no | polltype = | legend = no }} References1. ^https://books.google.com/books?id=W1pfjlqKhlMC&pg=PA141 2. ^http://history.library.gatech.edu/items/show/22341 3. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4ck3AAAAIAAJ&q|title=Football immortals|page=91|author=Alexander M.
