abstract
| - Maddock was born in East Jordan, Michigan and began his collegiate career at Albion College. In 1901, the 24-year-old Maddock played for Albion football coach Chester Brewer who taught him the "Wisconsin style of tackle play." Maddock was so effective against the University of Michigan in 1901 that Coach Fielding H. Yost enticed him to transfer to Michigan. He became a star for Yost's "Point-a-Minute" teams in 1902 and 1903. He played tackle and punter at the University of Michigan on Fielding H. Yost's "Point-a-Minute" teams. Though he was a lineman, Maddock was also used as a ball carrier in short-yardage situations. As reported by The New York Times, the Wolverines used "big Joe Maddock, the sturdy right tackle, for first downs when a few yards were needed." In Michigan's 1903 victory over Minnesota, Maddock and Willie Heston were the Wolverines's biggest ground gainers. After the game, Coach Yost told reporters, "They would not be stopped by ordinary tackles nor by less than three or four Minnesota men, who sometimes had to sit on them to stop them at all." Maddock gained extensive attention for his role in Michigan's 1903 win over Wisconsin by a score of 16–0. Maddock played at four different positions in the game leading one newspaper to report: "The great surprise, however, is that the famous Maddock, right tackle, will today play four positions, tackle, half, full back and quarter back. Michigan has a series of new plays in which Maddock's multiple duties are possible. On defense he will play tackle: when Wisconsin's line is to be bucked Maddock will be full back in plays whose exact nature is a secret." Maddock was selected as a first-team All-Western player in both 1902 and 1903. He was a unanimous All-Western pick in 1903. Maddock was also a champion wrestler and member of the University of Michigan track team. In May 1903, he broke the Western Intercollegiate hammer throw record with a throw of 141 feet, five inches.
