Excerpt: Hugo Francis Bezdek (April 1, 1884 September 19, 1952) was a Czech-American sports figure who played American football and was a coach of football, basketball, and baseball. He was the head football coach at the University of Oregon (1906, 19131917), the University of Arkansas (19081912), Penn State University (19181929), and Delaware Valley College (1949). Bezdek also coached the Mare Island Marines in the 1918 Rose Bowl and the Cleveland Rams of the NFL in 1937 and part of the 1938 season. In addition, Bezdek coached basketball at Oregon (19061907, 19161917) and Penn State (1919), coached baseball at Oregon (19131916), and served at the manager of Major League Baseball's Pittsburgh Pirates (19171919).
