Carl Linnwood Beck (August 8, 1897 – April 16, 1963) was a professional football player from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
He made his professional debut in the National Football League (NFL) in 1921 with the Buffalo All-Americans.
In 1918 and 1919 Beck helped the Tech Maroons win back-to-back state championships in football.
These men upgraded the club by luring talented pro players such as Benny Boynton, Stan Cofall and Beck to the team.
As a result, manager, Gyp Downey, tried to ban all of the involved players from playing in the league.
While he only scored two touchdowns, including one in non-league play, for the Bears, his strong running ability was a key component of the team's success.
