Tesreau being welcomed back to Seattle on November 16, 1925, after a win over Cal
The 1923 Huskies went 10–1 during the regular season, losing only to Cal, then faced Navy in the 1924 Rose Bowl. Tesreau played through a knee injury in the 14–14 tie,[7] and discovered after the game that he had broken a leg.[8] The 1924 Huskies compiled an 8–1–1 record, but did not play in any of the limited bowl games of the era. Tesreau was captain of the 1925 Huskies[9]—undefeated during the regular season (10 wins, and a tie against Nebraska), the team suffered a 20–19 loss to Alabama in the 1926 Rose Bowl.
Tesreau was also a pitcher for the Washington Huskies baseball team.[10] He graduated as a member of the class 1926, then took an executive position with a surety company.[11] He married Virginia Akin in November 1927.[12] They had one daughter,[13] and were divorced in 1933.[14] In 1942, Tesreau faced several charges following a car accident in Seattle; at the time, he was working in a shipyard on Lake Union.[15]
Tesreau died in Seattle in September 1955, aged 50.[16] He was posthumously inducted to the Husky Hall of Fame at the University of Washington in 1985.[17]
