Laurence Bankart
Laurence Hardy Bankart (October 16, 1887 – August 31, 1978) was an American college football player and coach. He was the head football coach at Colgate University for five seasons, in 1910 and again from 1913 until 1916, compiling a record of 28–7–3. Bankhart's five years as coach was the longest-tenured football coach at Colgate since the first coach Samuel Colgate Jr. headed the program for three years (some sources say two) until 1929, when Andrew Kerr took over the program for 18 seasons.[1] Bankart was born on October 16, 1887, in Bradford, England.
