Fielding Yost History20in20
I wanted to challenge myself a bit with icons (and photoshop in general), so I signed up for history20in20. Here’s my entry for this month!
My subject is Fielding Yost. Since most of you probably don't know him, here’s a short bio (thanks to Wikipedia):
Fielding Harris Yost (April 30, 1871 - August 20, 1946) was an American football player, coach, and college athletics administrator. He served as the head football coach at Ohio Wesleyan University (1897), the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (1898), the University of Kansas (1899), Stanford University (1900), San Jose State University (1900), and the University of Michigan (1901-1923, 1925-1926), compiling a career college football record of 198-35-12.
During his 25 seasons as the head football coach at the University of Michigan, Yost's teams won six national championships, captured ten Big Ten Conference titles, and amassed a record of 165-29-10. From 1901 to 1905, his "Point-a-Minute" squads went 55-1-1, outscoring their opponents by a margin of 2,821 to 42. The 1901 team beat Stanford, 49-0, in the 1902 Rose Bowl, the first college football bowl game ever played.
After retiring from coaching, Yost remained at Michigan as the school's athletic director, a position he held until 1940, thereafter holding the title of athletic director emeritus. Under his leadership, Michigan Stadium, Yost Fieldhouse, now Yost Ice Arena, and the university's golf course were constructed. Yost was also a lawyer, author, and businessman.
