Thomas Ashford Bogle Jr. (March 7, 1890[1] – September 21, 1955) was an American football player and coach. He played as a lineman for the University of Michigan from 1910 to 1911 and served as the head football coach at DePauw University from 1913 to 1914.
Early years
[edit]Bogle was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1890.[2] His father, Thomas A. Bogle Sr., was a law professor at the University of Michigan.
University of Michigan
[edit]
He attended the University of Michigan, graduating from the Literary Department in 1912.[3] While attending Michigan, Bogle played as a lineman for Fielding H. Yost's Michigan Wolverines football team from 1910 to 1911.[4][5] He also competed for Michigan's track team, receiving varsity letters in track in his sophomore, junior, and senior years.[6]
DePauw
[edit]Bogle was hired as the head football coach at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana in August 1913.[7] In two years as the head coach at DePauw, he compiled a record of 9–7–1.[8] In 1913, he led DePauw to a 5–2–1 record and the championship of the Indiana Secondary Schools.[9] In the 1914 season opener, Bogle scheduled a game against his mentor, Fielding Yost. In the days before the game, an Indiana newspaper wrote:
"Coach Bogle of DePauw, learned the gridiron game from Hurry Up Yost. Bogle will have a chance to show how much of the game he knows when his team is pitted against the eleven of his former mentor at Ann Arbor Wednesday. Bogle was a lineman at the Wolverine institution."[10]
DePauw lost to Michigan by a score of 58 to 0.[11]
Later years
[edit]At the time of the 1920 and 1930 United States Censuses, Bogle was living in Ann Arbor working as a school teacher.[12]
