He held that position for the 1899 season, leading the NYU Violets to a record of 2–6. One of the two wins for his team was a 6–5 victory over Rutgers In at least two other games, against Hamilton and Columbia, the team produced what were considered to be poor performances. Ogilvie was referred to at least one time as "Dr. Ogilvie" and had previously played as a guard at Williams College from 1891 to 1894, a member of the class of 1895. He also attended Columbia University, where he received his M. D.
