Warner, Pop

 orig. Glenn Scobey Warner

(born April 5, 1871, Springfield, N.Y., U.S.—died Sept. 7, 1954, Palo Alto, Calif.) U.S. college football coach. At the Carlisle (Pa.) Indian School (1898–1904, 1906–15), he coached Jim Thorpe, one of football's greatest players. He also coached at the University of Pittsburgh (1915–23) and Stanford University (1924–32). Warner perfected the single- and double-wing formations (now rarely used); these and other innovations helped refine the modern game. In 46 seasons (1895–1940) his teams won 312 games, lost 104, and tied 32.
