Monmouth College Athletics

One of many excellent athletes who came to Monmouth College from Murphysboro, Ill., Robinson was an athlete and later a coach, teacher and athletic director at Monmouth. He received three varsity letters in basketball and football, two in baseball and track and one in tennis. While many MC athletes have lettered in more than one sport, very few can boast of having lettered in five different sports.

Robinson never played on a losing basketball team at Monmouth and was All-Midwest Conference three years. Filling in for Bobby Woll as basketball coach for two seasons, Robinson again failed to witness a losing basketball season. He was football and track coach at from 1941-56 and had his most successful seasons as a gridiron coach in 1952-52, when the Scots were 11-5. As track coach, Robinson coached 30 individual MWC champions.
