Clarence Bertram "Herschie" Herschberger (July 24, 1876 – December 14, 1936) was an American football player and coach.

Herschberger served as the head football coach at Lake Forest College from 1902 to 1904, compiling a record of 13–10–2.

In 1896, Herschberger picked up a fumbled ball in a game against the Michigan Wolverines and ran it back for a touchdown to secure Chicago's victory by a score of 7–6.

"[4] Famed football man Walter Camp saw the game and wrote, "Against Penn this year, Herschberger exhibited the best all-around kicking of the season; punting, place-kicking and drop-kicking with accuracy and facility.

"[5] After the 1898 season, Camp chose Herschberger as the first-team fullback for his 1898 College Football All-America Team—the first player from a western school to be so honored.

Herschberger was also considered an excellent punter, making him a key asset in Stagg's strategy of maximizing field position.

He was believed to be the first player to kick spiral punts,[1] and Stagg credited him as being the first to use the Statue of Liberty play.

There are accounts that Herschberger challenged Chicago's quarterback Walter S. Kennedy to an eating contest before a football game with the Wisconsin Badgers.
