Grigg also played on the team as a kicker while simultaneously coaching , successfully kicking two extra point attempts during the season . These were his only kicking attempts in his career . The 1925 season was his only year coaching , but Grigg did continue his playing days for two more seasons , one with the New York Giants and one with the Frankford Yellow Jackets . He would go on to play as a running back and scored five touchdowns in his career , including an interception return . The team , one of the fourteen original teams in the National Football League , ceased operations after the 1925 season .

Four hurricanes became major hurricanes ( Category 3 + ) . However , in the absence of modern satellite and other remote-sensing technologies , only storms that affected populated land areas or encountered ships at sea are known , so the actual total could be higher . An undercount bias of zero to six tropical cyclones per year between 1851 and 1885 and zero to four per year between 1886 and 1910 has been estimated . Of the known 1886 cyclones , Hurricane Seven and Tropical Storm Eleven were first documented in 1996 by Jose Fernandez-Partagas and Henry Diaz .
