Wilmer Dale Elfrink (December 27, 1893 – September 22, 1948) was a college football and basketball player and coach.^[1]

Playing history

Elfrink played sports while attending Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He was a key player on the football team of 1914 under head coach Moray Eby that the college considers to be one of the best teams the school fielded of all time.^[2]

Coaching career

Wichita State

Football

Elfrink was the 12th head football coach for Fairmount College (now Wichita State University) located in Wichita, Kansas and he held that position for the 1920 season. His overall coaching record at Fairmount College was 3 wins, 4 losses, and 2 ties. This ranks him 27th at Wichita State in terms of total wins and 18th at Wichita State in terms of winning percentage.^[3]

Basketball

Elfrink served later that season as head basketball coach for the Shockers, where his team completed an impressive record of 16 wins and 2 losses.^[4] As of the beginning of the 2006 season, this was still considered the "best start" in the history of basketball at the school.^[5]

UC Davis

The next year, Elfrink became the head football coach at University of California, Davis for the 1921 season.^[6]
