Timeline
Wesley Eugene Fesler (June 29, 1908 – July 30, 1989) was an American football, basketball, and baseball player and coach of football and basketball.
He was a three-sport athlete at Ohio State University and a consensus first-team selection to the College Football All-America Team three straight years (1928–1930).
He primarily played end and was a consensus first-team All-America selection in 1928 and 1929 and a unanimous first-team All-America selection in 1930.
Depending on the game situation, he would sometimes move into the backfield as a fullback.
In 1930, he was voted the Most Valuable Player in the Big Ten.
Jock Sutherland, the University of Pittsburgh coach, called Fesler "a one man team. It is unbelievable how that boy can do so many things."
He was the basketball captain as a junior in the spring of 1930, and the football captain as a senior in the Autumn of that year.
He was Ohio State's first consensus first-team All-America selection in basketball in 1931.
Fesler ignored interest from teams of the National Football League and instead pursued a career in coaching.
He began his coaching career as an assistant to his Ohio State football coach, Sam Willaman, in 1931 and 1932.
He was also the head basketball coach at Harvard University (1933–1941), Wesleyan (1941–1944) and Princeton University (1945–1946), tallying a mark of 78–139 Fesler was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a player in 1954.
Fesler came to Ohio State from Youngstown, Ohio.
At Ohio State, Fesler was a member of both Pi Kappa Alpha and Phi Beta Kappa, earning a total of nine varsity letters in baseball, basketball, and football.
In 1933, Fesler accepted an offer from Harvard University as head coach of the basketball team and backfield coach of the football team.
In 1934, high-speed photographer "Doc" Edgerton took the now-classic photograph "Wes Fesler Kicking a Football."
The stroboscope photograph demonstrated the dent in the ball at the point of contact.
In basketball Fesler was a guard.
In 1939 Grantland Rice listed Fesler at end on his all-time college football team.
Fesler was later the head football coach at Wesleyan University (1941–1942), the University of Pittsburgh (1946), Ohio State (1947–1950), and the University of Minnesota (1951–1953), compiling a career record of 41–40–8.
