Glen C. Gray lettered in football, basketball, and track, setting the long jump mark in track (22') and earning the tag of "the best pitcher on campus." Following his graduation Gray coached the Oberlin football team to a 7-1 record (1912), outscoring their opponents 242-49. His two year coaching record at Oberlin (1911-12) was 13-2-1 (.896). Following his stint at Oberlin he coached at Washburn College in Topeka, Kansas, for three years. The Glen C. Gray Scholarship Fund was established many years ago by his friends to benefit an Oberlin student-athlete that plays more than one sport. A classmate of Gray's, J. Herbert Nichols starred at quarterback in 1910 and was captain of the basketball team in 1911. Ironically his coach was Glen C. Gray. Nichols also starred in baseball and succeeded Savage as director of athletics in 1935.
