Consensus All-American (1896)

Clarence Mann Fincke (October 12, 1874 – June 19, 1959) was an All-American football player and a banker. He played football for Yale University from 1894 to 1896, mostly at quarterback and some at fullback, and was selected as the quarterback for the 1896 College Football All-America Team.

Playing career

Fincke attended The Hill School before enrolling at Yale University,^[1] where he was a member of Skull and Bones.^[2] At Yale, Fincke played on the football team from 1894 to 1896.^[3] Fincke was 5-feet, 11-inches tall and weighed 160 pounds.^[1] He was voted captain of the 1895 football team, and a Massachusetts newspaper that year called Fincke "the steadiest player" on Yale's team.^[1] His tackling in an 1895 game against the Carlisle Indian School helped prevent the Carlisle team from scoring on Yale.^[4]

Fincke also played third base for the baseball team.^[3] One newspaper reported that he was "a good fielder and thrower" but "weak at the bat."^[5]

Fincke was popular among the Yale student body. He was voted the handsomest man in his Yale class and the most popular.^[3] Upon his graduation in 1897, Fincke was also voted as the member of his class who had done the most for Yale.^[6]

Later-life

After graduating from Yale, Fincke served as the football coach at The Hill School.^[7] He later went into the banking business and became the president and chairman of the board of Greenwich Savings Bank in New York.^[8] He died at Englewood, New Jersey in 1959 at age 84.^[8]
