Raymond W. "Ducky" Pond (February 17, 1902 – August 23, 1982) was an American college football player and coach.
At Bates, Pond led the undefeated and untied 1946 Bobcats squad to the inaugural Glass Bowl.
He was nicknamed "Ducky" by Grantland Rice for returning a fumble 63 yards that afternoon against Harvard on a field that resembled "seventeen lakes, five quagmires and a water hazard".
The New York Times (November 17, 1934) reported that an expected capacity crowd of 52,000 would attend the contest, the 58th in the series.
End Larry Kelley in 1936 and halfback Clint Frank in 1937 were the second and third winners of the most prestigious individual award in football.
Among the total of 21 assistants employed by Pond at Yale, future President Gerald Ford served for four seasons, from 1937 to 1940, while attending Yale Law School, and Greasy Neale was hired as the backfield coach right after Pond's announced elevation on February 1, 1934.
