Herman Milton "Billy" Suter (December 10, 1874 – October 31, 1946)[1] was an American football and baseball player, coach, referee, and athletic director.
Suter coached the famed "Iron Men" of the 1899 Sewanee Tigers which went 12–0, outscored opponents 322 to 10, and won 5 games on a 6-day road trip all by shutout.
[6] Grantland Rice was a shortstop on the Vanderbilt baseball team at the same time as Suter coached Sewanee.
[9] Suter played for the Wanderers Baseball Club, in Transvaal, South Africa in 1903 and during the 1904–1905 inaugural league season.
Salt Lake Telegram reported that Suter "formerly an outfielder on the Princeton team, leads the league in batting, with an average of .557, which is clouting them some.
Players on both teams assisted Suter, and police eventually rushed in with revolvers drawn to restore order.
