1912

Shultz was the only freshman to make the varsity this season.[4] Shultz and captain Buck Miles were the tackles, a duo which "scintillated."[5]

1914

Shultz was a member of the undefeated SAIAA champion 1914 team, which secured a share of the title when it finished the season with a victory over North Carolina A & M.[6] The team included College Football Hall of Fame inductee Harry "Cy" Young.

An account of the 10 to 0 victory over Swarthmore that year reads "Left tackle Ted Shultz starred for the victors making long gains on forward passes and effecting tackles that checked Swarthmore."[7]
