The Touchstone Memorial Award for the men's college lacrosse coach of the year was established in his honor.

Touchstone was a native of Baltimore, Maryland,[1] and under the guidance of coach Bill Schmeisser, he played as a member of the Mount Washington Lacrosse Club based in the city's neighborhood of the same name.

In 1924, Yale University hired Touchstone as the head coach for their varsity lacrosse, soccer, and freshman gymnastics teams.

A year before his death, Sports Illustrated asked Touchstone, among other authorities, to compare American football and lacrosse.

From 1951 to 1957, he acted as an advisor to the All-American Committee, and from 1953 to 1955, Touchstone served as the first president of the Lacrosse Coaches Association.
