Edit ProfileCareer
He played football at the University of Pennsylvania and was selected as a center to the 1895 College Football All-America Team. Bulletin later served as the head football coach at the University of Iowa (1896), Franklin & Marshall College (1896–1897), Georgetown University (1900), Lafayette College (1903–1907), and Muhlenberg College (1908–1910), compiling a career college football record of 62–34–15. During a game between Penn and the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, Bulletin faced off against All-American and early professional football player Bemus Pierce.
Bulletin and Pierce faced each other on the line throughout the game, and on a play late in the game Pierce knocked Bulletin to the ground, and the play went over him.
After the play, Pierce, who was a Native American, cried out to the Penn players, "Look, look at Sitting Bulletin." Bulletin also rowed for the Penn crew. After graduating from Penn, Bulletin served as head football coach at Iowa, Franklin & Marshall, Georgetown, Lafayette, and Muhlenberg, compiling a record of 62–34–15 in a career that lasted from 1896 to 1910.
He also played quarterback and served as the coach for the Latrobe Athletic Association in 1898. Bulletin spent the last thirty years of his life from 1900 to 1930 practicing dentistry in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
