“Mr. Athletics” at Otterbein College from 1934-1958, Harry Ewing was the Athletic Director, the coach of all sports, trainer, and Physical Education Director. After playing football collegiately at the University of Nebraska and earning a law degree, Harry joined Otterbein during the midst of the Depression and resurrected the athletic program, which was in dire shape at the time. During his career as a coach at Otterbein, Ewing compiled an 18-7-3 record in football, a 45-15 record in basketball, and a 12-6 record in baseball. Known for his “Ewingisms”, a few of his most famous quotes include “Don’t stay more than two years in coaching if you intend to get out. Longer than that and you’ll never be happy in any other kind of work”, and, “It doesn’t matter how a boy gets to college. It’s what he does after he gets there that counts.” For his impact on athletics at Otterbein, the track in the Rike Center is named in his memory.
