Theodore M. Stuart

Theodore Mallory Stuart Jr. (June 24, 1883 – January 14, 1946) was an American college football player and coach.

His father, Theodore M. Stuart, Sr., was an Ohio native who established a law practice at Chariton.

[3] While attending Michigan, Stuart played as an end and halfback for Fielding H. Yost's "Point-a-Minute" football teams in 1904 and 1905.

During Stuart's two years as a varsity football player, Michigan "Point-a-Minute" teams compiled a record of 22–1 and outscored opponents 1,062 to 24.

[4][5] The 1906 University of Michigan yearbook praised Stuart as one of the team's heroes:[6] 'Ted' Stuart is a striking exemplification of the fact that a light man can make good in football provided that he is possessed of the proper amount of grit and determination.

[8] Stuart was the head football coach at Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas, serving for one season, in 1909, and compiling a record of 3–0–1.

In the first issue of The Colorado School of Mines Magazine, an article described Stuart's appearance at the "first night" in the school gymnasium in September 1910: "Coach Ted Stuart, in a stirring talk, impressed upon the men the absolute necessity of all who were physically able putting on a suit and coming out and trying out for the team and staying out.

[13] In March 1912, the School of Mines Magazine reported on Stuart's departure as head coach: "The position of head coach for football has been held by Ted Stuart, who is connected with a law office in Denver and consequently can not devote his entire time to the team.

For this reason, and for matters of economy, as well as the fact that Johnston is fully qualified to take entire charge, the change was made.

He was also a director of the West Side Bank of Denver and vice president of The Progressive Mining & Leasing Company of Cripple Creek, Colorado.

[1][2] In a draft registration card completed on September 12, 1918, Stuart indicated that he was living with his wife, Bettina, at their home on South Franklin Street in Denver and working for the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad with an office on the fourth floor of the Equitable Building.

At the time of the 1930 United States Census, Stuart was living with Antoinette in Fresno and working as an attorney.
