As to his nickname Weiser Wonder. It was used in the Iola Daily Register(Iola, Kansas) right after his first game and domineering victory with Washington in early August 1907. So he certainly had the nickname very early in his career as a carry over from his stint in Idaho.
Also, as late as 1925 he was still referred to by this nickname in newspaper game highlights.
