Clarence Wiley "Doc" Spears, inducted: 1955, At WVU:

A coach at West Virginia from 1921-24, Clarence "Doc" Spears was responsible for developing West Virginia's great football fortunes of the early 1920s. During his coaching tenure in Morgantown, the school played in its first bowl game (East-West) in 1922, produced its first unbeaten team (also 1922), defeated Pitt, 9-6 that 1922 season (considered among the greatest wins in school history) and helped build a football stadium. A cordial and delightful man off the field, the DeWitt, New York, native was the opposite on it, evoking confrontations with sportswriters, alumni and fans alike. After his brief tenure in Morgantown where he also doubled as a practicing medical doctor, thus earning the nickname "Doc," Spears also coached at Minnesota and Oregon among others, until retiring in 1935 to devote his full time to medicine, practicing in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Spears was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1955 as a coach. He died February 1, 1964, in Jupiter, Florida.
