From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guy Sumner Lowman (born May 1877, Iowa; died 1943) was a successful college athletics coach at several major American universities in the early 20th century.

Lowman graduated from Springfield College in 1905, where he lettered in baseball.

Following graduation, he began his career at Central Missouri State, coaching baseball and basketball from 1907 to 1908. Subsequently, from 1908 to 1910, he coached baseball and basketball at the University of Missouri, posting a 19-15 record in basketball and 20-11-1 record in baseball. In 1910, he moved to the University of Alabama, where he coached the football team for one season, recording a 4-4 mark.

Leaving Alabama after one season, he moved to Kansas State, where he coached baseball (4 seasons), basketball (3 seasons) and football (4 seasons) from 1911 to 1915. His basketball teams posted winning records each year he coached them. His best football season at Kansas State was 1912, when his squad posted an 8-2 record. He was fired after his 1914 football team recorded a 1-5-1 mark.

In 1916, Lowman moved to Indiana University, where he coached the basketball squad to a 13-6 record. From 1917 to 1920, he coached baseball and basketball at the University of Wisconsin. He also coached the Wisconsin football team for the 1918 season, posting a 3-3 mark. His 1917-1918 basketball team posted a 14-3 record and won the Big Ten Conference title.

After his coaching career ended, he remained at the University of Wisconsin as a professor. The baseball field at Wisconsin was named in his honor.
