Charles H. Guy

Charles Howgate Guy Jr. (1924 to 2010) was an American college football and college lacrosse player who went on to coach both sports. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on February 5, 1924, he attended New Trier High School in the Chicago area, where he was an exceptional football player. After his playing days he took up coaching and served as head football coach at Johns Hopkins University in 1950. He also led the lacrosse program at the University of Virginia as head coach for the 1949 and 1950 seasons. He died on May 22, 2010. His record is a short one, but it places him among the mid twentieth century American college coaches who worked across more than one sport, at a time when lacrosse was concentrated in a handful of Mid Atlantic and Northeastern universities.
