**Joseph A. Goodson** (December 1, 1876 – August 29, 1924) was a [college football](/source/College_football) player and [physician](/source/Physician).[1][2] He was a [quarterback](/source/Quarterback) for the [Vanderbilt Commodores football](/source/Vanderbilt_Commodores_football) team; [captain](/source/Captain_(sports)) of the [1898 team](/source/1898_Vanderbilt_Commodores_football_team).[3][4] Goodson led the team to its first conference title in [1897](/source/1897_Vanderbilt_Commodores_football_team). The team then played a contest with [Virginia](/source/1897_Virginia_Cavaliers_football_team) for the championship of the south, a tie. The *Nashville American* reported that, "The Vanderbilt players were in a jolly humor yesterday with their miniature football pinned upon the labels of their coats. Joe Goodson, quarterback, was apparently out of training from a large ten-cent cigar he smoked, a gift of Benjamin Childers of Pulaski. 'Tab' Farrell had his hair cut and other members were more or less changed in appearance."
