Craig was ordained as a minister in 1900 and appointed the pastor of the first church in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania.[2] The same year, he was hired to coach the football team at Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.[5] Craig played at left end in the 1900 Geneva Covenanters football team's victory over Youngstown on October 27 of that year.[6] For the game the following week against Pittsburgh College, Geneva agreed not to use any coaches or paid players on the field. Geneva won the game, played on November 3 at Bluff field in Pittsburgh, by a score of 5 to 0. After the game, Pittsburg College alleged that a substitute named May, who played at left end, was in fact Craig.[7]
Craig continued to coach the Geneva Covenanters football team through the 1903 season, compiling a record of 26–3–3 over four years.[8][9][10] Geneva College fans generally consider him among the best coaches in the history of the school.[11]
Death
Craig died on October 7, 1960, at Princeton Hospital, after suffering from uremia.[2]
