Archiquette was the team captain. At the end of the 1901 season, four Haskell players were named to the All-Kansas football team: Carl at center; Redwater at guard; Bain at tackle; and Achiquette at end.[1] Haskell's backfield included Dugan, Fallis, and Oliver at halfback, Miguel at fullback, and Bent and Fallis at quarterback.

Haskell was one of three Native American schools in 1901 to field football teams that competed in college football. The other two were Carlisle in Pennsylvania and Chilocco in the Oklahoma Territory.
