He was a prominent quarterback for Billy Laval's Furman Purple Hurricane of Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. He was also a star on defense and was noted for his ability to intercept and break up forward passes. He also never had a punt blocked.[1] He was inducted into the Furman Athletic Hall of Fame in 1986.[1]
1920
McManaway was quarterback and Speedy Speer halfback on the 1920 team which suffered its only loss to SIAA champion Georgia. McManaway was elected captain at year's end.[3]
1921
Furman did not lose to an opponent from South Carolina for 3 years from 1919 to 1921, outscoring opponents 485 to 32.[4] "In Captain McManaway, quarter-back, Furman had a man who could run, punt and pass from punt formation as good as the best."[4] He was selected All-Southern by Ed Danforth of the Atlanta Georgian.[5] McManaway was called by Scoop Latimer “one of two best quarterbacks in the South,” presumably behind Centre's Bo McMillin.[1]
