- Brutus_Hamilton abstract "Brutus Kerr Hamilton (July 19, 1900 – December 28, 1970) was an American track and field athlete, coach, and college athletics administrator.Hamilton was born on July 19, 1900 in Peculiar, Missouri. He grew up on a farm next door to the Harry S. Truman family farm. In the Missouri State High School championship meet in 1918, he won the high jump, pole vault, broad jump, and shot put. After that, he went on to the University of Missouri, where he won the U.S. decathlon and pentathlon championships in 1920. This qualified him for the U.S. Olympic team; he won the silver medal in the decathlon in the 1920 Summer Olympics held in Antwerp, Belgium, losing to the Norwegian winner by only four points. He qualified for the Paris Olympics in 1924 as well, but was less successful because of injury.Track and field was Hamilton's main sport, but he was accomplished in other sports too. He was a second-string end on the 1921 Walter Camp All-American football team, and in 1923, he played on the Kansas City Athletic Club basketball team that won the National AAU Championship. Some called him the nation's most versatile athlete. After the 1924 Olympics, Hamilton coached track and field at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, where he also instructed students in English and history. At Westminster, his teams won their conference championships from 1926 to 1929. In 1930, Hamilton moved to the University of Kansas, where his team won the Big Six title in 1930 and 1931 and came in second in 1932. At Kansas he coached the miler Glenn Cunningham and the decathlon world record holder Jim Bausch. In the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, Hamilton was the U.S. decathlon coach; Bausch won the gold medal.Following the 1932 Olympics, Hamilton became coach of the track and field team at the University of California in Berkeley. He coached at Cal from then until his retirement in 1965, with time off to serve as a major in the U.S. Air Intelligence in England during WWII. He was Athletic Director at Berkeley from 1946 to 1955, during which time he recruited both Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf and Pete Newell, two of Cal's greatest coaches; he was an assistant dean of students; and he chaired the NCAA Track and Field Rules Committee for 10 years.At Cal, Hamilton coached many athletes of great ability, among them Archie Williams, Hal Davis, Grover Klemmer, Glenn Smith, Jack Yerman, Jerry Siebert, Leamon King, Don Bowden (the first American to break the 4-minute mile barrier), Lon Spurrier, Willie White, Dave Archibald, Forrest Beatty, and Dave Maggard. In 1936, when he was for a second time the U.S. decathlon coach, his athletes swept the event and Archie Willams took the gold medal in the 400 meters. In 1952, Hamilton coached the U.S. Olympic track and field team in Helsinki; in 1953, he was the U.S. track and field coach for the Maccabean Games in Israel; and in 1965, he coached the U.S. team in the USA-USSR meet.Brutus, as he was known to all, was not only an admired and influential coach. A brilliant writer, he was an accomplished poet, and anyone fortunate enough to receive a letter from him saved it as a work of art. A collection of his letters was published in 1975. He frequently quoted Shakespeare and John Donne by heart, he was a skilled story teller, he played the harmonica well, and he was an avid fisherman of salmon and striped bass in the Sacramento River delta. Brutus Hamilton died in Berkeley, California on December 28, 1970.".
