Chester Leland Brewer (November 26, 1875 – April 16, 1953)[1] was an American football, basketball, baseball, and track and field coach and athletic director.
He was hired as athletic director in 1910 and wasted little time in leaving his mark at the university, as he was one of the founding members of the M Men's Club.
He founded the club on the eve of the 1911 football game against Kansas, and the organization became the sponsor for intramural sports championships at the university.
During these twelve years of leadership, he helped oversee the construction of Brewer Fieldhouse, which was named for him on February 8, 1930.
Brewer also coached the Missouri Tigers baseball team one final time from 1933 to 1934 and finished with a 12–17 record.
