In 1896, Cross became the head football coach at Stanford, guiding the team to a 2–1–1 record and a Big Game victory over Cal.[1] He coached the team again in 1898, earning a 5–3–1 record.[1]
After football
Cross graduated from Harvard Law School in 1900 and settled in Providence, Rhode Island, where he established a law firm and worked as an assistant attorney general for the state of Rhode Island.[2] He died in 1955.[2]
