Zora Clevenger

Zora Goodwin Clevenger (December 12, 1881 – November 24, 1970) was an American football, basketball, and baseball player, coach, and pioneering athletic director.

Following his graduation, Clevenger served as head coach for the basketball and baseball teams at Indiana for two years.

[2] In 1911, Clevenger moved to the University of Tennessee, where he served as head football, basketball, and baseball coach until 1916.

Curiously, John R. Bender moved from Kansas State to Tennessee at the same time, so the two schools in effect swapped football coaches.

In 1921, Clevenger left the coaching profession and moved to the University of Missouri, where he served as athletic director until 1923.
